My Journey
I first received counselling when I was at secondary school, at the age of 13.
I have since, at various stages throughout my life, continued to have counselling. I know how hard it can be to take that first step on your counselling journey or to ask for help.
Why I chose to become a counsellor
I have always had a natural want to help others and am naturally a warm, friendly and open person. I am a compassionate person and enjoy listening to others. This has helped me throughout my journey. I made the decision to be a counsellor after my eldest child was in intensive care. I realised at this time there was little support available.
I then decided to become a counsellor and started my counselling journey. I have a range of experience and continue to do personal development to improve my skills. I have worked with both adults and children in various roles throughout my working life however, my heart lies with counselling.

Sessions
My room is based at my home. I aim to provide a confidential, non-judgemental, warm and friendly space for you to feel heard.
I do not ask clients to commit to any number of sessions but instead believe it is important for clients to have as much or as little as they feel appropriate. I therefore offer both short term and long term counselling. I can offer:
Experience the benefits of in-person support in a safe, confidential, and welcoming environment. Face-to-face counselling allows for deeper connection, non-verbal communication, and a dedicated space for reflection and healing. Together, we’ll work through challenges at your own pace, helping you gain clarity and confidence in a comfortable setting.
Access professional support from the comfort of your own home with our secure online counselling sessions. Ideal for those with busy schedules or limited access to in-person therapy, online sessions offer flexibility and convenience while providing the same compassionate, tailored support to help you navigate life’s challenges.
For those who prefer a more discreet and flexible approach, telephone counselling offers a private and accessible way to receive emotional support. Whether you’re at home or on the go, these sessions provide a safe space to talk openly, process feelings, and receive guidance without the need for video or in-person meetings.
