Welcome
I’m a qualified counsellor with a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and over 20 years of experience working in the NHS as a paramedic and in mental health.
During that time, I sat with people in some of their hardest, most uncertain moments, and I learned that even in deep struggle, there’s still light and hope when we feel truly connected, seen, and understood.
I believe there’s something profoundly healing about being seen, heard, and understood, when that happens, something inside us begins to shift.
Living with a long‑term health condition myself, I understand how isolating it can feel when symptoms are unseen, unpredictable, or misunderstood. It can leave you feeling frustrated, invisible, or doubting yourself. That experience has shaped how I work, with empathy, patience, and a genuine respect for how tough life can sometimes feel.
In our sessions, you don’t need to have everything figured out or know exactly what you want to say. I’ll meet you where you are, offering a safe space to unpack what’s happening and help you find understanding, steadiness, and a sense of direction again.
I’m passionate about working with neurodivergent clients, including people with ADHD and autism. My awareness is shaped through study and personal experience within my family. Whether you’re diagnosed, on a pathway, or exploring the possibility of being neurodivergent, you’re welcome here. Our work together is grounded in respect, curiosity, and understanding.
How I work
I am a person-centred counsellor, which means my focus is on you, your experiences, feelings, and journey. I believe everyone has the capacity for growth and change when met with empathy, acceptance, and authenticity.
My role is not to give advice, but to walk alongside you with warmth and understanding as you explore what feels difficult. Together, we can work towards greater self-awareness, clarity, and a stronger sense of yourself.
