Person-Centred Experiential counselling and psychotherapy for adults and young people, offering a space to explore whatever brings you to therapy.
How I Can Help
People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons. You might be struggling with something specific, noticing the same patterns repeating, feeling overwhelmed by how you're thinking or feeling, or simply knowing that something doesn't feel quite right.
You don't need a diagnosis, a clear explanation, or even to know where to begin.
Therapy gives us the space to understand what's happening for you, what might be sitting underneath it, and what you need moving forward.
Our work will look different depending on you. For some people, that means having space to talk and process. For others, we might explore patterns, make sense of emotions, use psychoeducation, work creatively or introduce practical tools that help outside of sessions too.
What You Might Bring to Therapy
Anxiety, Overthinking & Overwhelm
Anxiety can show up in lots of ways, from constant overthinking and worry to panic, physical symptoms, feeling on edge or becoming overwhelmed by everyday life.
Together, we can begin to understand what’s happening for you, recognise patterns and explore ways of making things feel more manageable.
Self-Worth, Identity & Relationships
You might struggle with feeling good enough, putting others before yourself, or knowing what you need.
Therapy can be a place to explore self-worth, people-pleasing, perfectionism, boundaries, relationships and your sense of who you are.
Emotions That Feel Difficult to Manage
Sometimes emotions can feel intense, confusing or difficult to control. You might experience anger, low mood, panic, emotional overwhelm, or find yourself shutting down completely.
We can work together to understand what’s happening underneath those feelings and find ways of responding to them that work for you.
Neurodivergence & Feeling Different
You may be autistic, have ADHD, be awaiting an assessment, questioning neurodivergence or simply have always felt that you experience the world differently.
Therapy can give us space to explore things like masking, overwhelm, executive functioning, sensory needs, relationships and understanding yourself in a way that feels less judgemental.

Therapy That Adapts to You
I don’t believe therapy should look the same for everyone. Some people need space to talk and be heard, while others find it easier to explore things with a little more structure.
Depending on what works for you, our sessions might include conversation and reflection, psychoeducation, creative approaches, visual resources, metaphors or practical tools. We can work out together what feels useful rather than expecting you to fit into a particular way of doing therapy.
What Therapy With Me Looks Like
Therapy with me is collaborative, relational and led by what you bring. You don't need to arrive knowing what to talk about or where to begin. Some weeks we may explore something deeply, while others might be about making sense of what's happened since we last met.
-
Talking through thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace
-
Exploring patterns and making connections between experiences
-
Understanding emotions and what might be sitting underneath them
-
Making sense of anxiety, overwhelm or difficult thoughts
-
Using psychoeducation to help you understand what you're experiencing
-
Exploring coping strategies and practical tools when they feel useful
-
Using creative or visual approaches when talking alone doesn't quite fit
-
Making space for identity, relationships and the way you experience the world
There isn't a right way to “do” therapy. You can talk, think out loud, not know what to say, laugh, cry, change the subject or need time to work something out. We'll find a way of working that feels natural for you.
Wondering whether we might be a good fit?
I offer a free 15-minute consultation where we can talk about what you're looking for, and you can ask any questions before deciding whether you'd like to begin.
