Counselling
Counselling is bespoke and unique to every individual. I believe it is important that individuals are empowered to choose a therapeutic approach to healing that is most comfortable for them.
As a counsellor, I embrace a responsive and flexible approach, offering an empathic, non-judgemental and safe space for clients to explore and express feelings and thoughts around life experiences and challenges they may be facing in their own chosen way, whether it is through talking therapy or through various creative, play or art-based approaches. I specialize in providing trauma-informed therapeutic support to children, young people and adults, through face to face and online sessions.
I specialize in neuro-affirming interventions for children, young people and adults.
Child Counselling
How I work?
I offer a combination of Talking and Play therapy with creative and art -based interventions. I work with children between the ages of 4-11years.
The benefits of therapy?
Play is a natural medium of communication for children and the use of play and creative techniques facilitates the free expression of feelings, assisting children in building resilience and improving their self-esteem.

Adolescent Counselling
How I work?
I offer a combination of talking , creative and art-based approaches, which are beneficial ways to process complex feelings and thoughts, by giving expression, movement, shape and colour to life experiences in a way that often words alone can't do. Working through art isn't about becoming an artist, but about finding meaning and connection in life.
The benefits of therapy?
The teenage years are a time of change, growth, and discovery, but they can also be a time of stress, anxiety, and confusion. Adolescents face a range of challenges, including academic pressure, social issues, family conflict, and mental health problems. These challenges can significantly impact their emotional and mental well-being, leading to feelings of distress and hopelessness. Counselling with a professional can provide teenagers with a safe space to express and process their thoughts and feelings, while building coping tools and resilience along the way.
Fees: £65 per session
Duration: 50 minute weekly sessions
Adult Counselling
How I work?
I offer a holistic combination of Talking therapy approaches, aimed at exploring past difficulties, as well as including drawing from CBT Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), and elements of Psychoeducation to build resilience and coping tools in the present day, while working towards achieving improvements in wellbeing moving forward.
I also offer the opportunity to engage in creative, somatic (working with the body) and art-based approaches which are beneficial ways to process complex feelings and thoughts, by giving expression, movement, shape and colour to life experiences in a way that often words alone can't do.
