About me and my practice
Nice to meet you. If you've found your way here then there's a good chance you're looking for someone to support you through life's challenges.
That's where I come in. I'm an online Counsellor, supporting women of all ages throughout the UK. I love what I do.
Counselling is all about building connections so that we can work together to tackle whatever you're going through.
I am passionate about helping women to build their confidence and to strengthen their relationships.
I've been described as caring, empathic, friendly, and relatable.
I have experience supporting people through a wide range of lifes difficulties.
This includes depression, anxiety, relationship issues, domestic abuse, bereavement, loss, fertility, miscarriage, the IVF process, illness, menopause, and postnatal depression.
Ive had counselling myself and I know how powerful it can be.
My approach to counselling:
I believe that we can all benefit from having a safe and comfortable space to take a break and explore our feelings, without judgement.
In counselling we work together to build a relationship where you can feel comfortable.
I am not here to advise you or to tell you what to do; although I may occasionally offer tools that might be useful in everyday life.
This doesn't mean that I'll sit there silently nodding, leaving you feeling uncomfortable. It means that I will listen to you and I will work with you to give you the opportunity to get to know yourself and find solutions that work for you.
If you want to know more about my training or theoretical grounding, then I would say that I am an integrative counsellor who works from a person-centred base. I incorporate an interest in Attachment and Transactional Analysis.
What does this actually mean?
Essentially, my training has covered a range of different theories about what makes us tick, and how we can overcome challenges in our lives.
Experience
There are all sorts of reasons why you might be considering counselling. Perhaps you're struggling with:
Anxiety, worry or fear. This might be around specific situations, or it could be a general sense that follows you all day long
Depression, numbness or disconnection from your feelings
Coping with a loss or relationship breakdown
Poor self-esteem
Navigating life changes, including menopause, career change or retirement
Reproductive loss, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, IVF, fertility challenges, or PMDD
Pregnancy, birth trauma, postnatal depression, or parenting
Relationship patterns, challenges with trust, 'people-pleasing', or perfectionism.
Domestic abuse, whether it's physical, emotional or financial
Feeling overwhelmed or stressed and unable to focus
Past memories or traumatic events that are bottled up. Maybe they lie dormant inside. Or perhaps they make themselves known in outbursts of anger, sadness or frustration
Having a voice in your relationships with family, friends or colleagues
Maybe you cant quite put your finger on it, but you feel stuck.
You dont like how youre feeling or behaving, or life just isnt how you want it to be.
How does Counselling help?
Counselling is individual, there really is no one-size-fits-all approach.
But I know it can be daunting to imagine what counselling might involve.
So here are some examples of what we might achieve together.
Developing coping strategies to cope with everyday feelings, including anger or anxiety
Understanding your boundaries and your relationship with trust.
Voicing feelings, stories or opinions that you find difficult to share
Learning about how your past experiences have impacted on who you are and how you feel about yourself
Developing your self-esteem by reviewing your expectations for yourself and for others

Initial Consultation
I offer a free 30-minute introductory chat on Zoom. This is an informal chat so that you can learn a little about me, and so that I can learn a little about you, and answer any questions you might have.
If you decide that you'd like to go ahead with counselling, then we will book a weekly timeslot. I work in an open-ended way, so there's no set amount of sessions that you need to work. We work together for as long as you need.
Fees
£60 for a fifty-minute counselling session
