Yes. Sometimes we find ourselves experiencing similar difficulties in different relationships, whether that's struggling with trust, avoiding conflict, people-pleasing or finding it difficult to set boundaries.

Although I have a particular interest in relationship difficulties, I also offer individual counselling for people experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, low self-esteem and other personal challenges.

You don't need to be experiencing relationship problems to benefit from counselling. Whatever you're going through, my aim is to provide a warm, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can explore your feelings, better understand yourself and begin finding a way forward.

You don’t need to be in crisis to seek counselling. People often come because they feel stuck, want to understand themselves better or need support through a difficult period. A free introductory call can help us consider whether working together feels right.

This varies. Some people find that a shorter period of counselling is enough for a particular issue, while others prefer longer-term or open-ended work. We can review this together as the counselling develops.

Online counselling can provide a meaningful and effective therapeutic relationship, while offering greater flexibility and accessibility. Some people prefer being in the same room, while others feel more comfortable meeting from home.

To protect your privacy, I won’t approach or acknowledge you unless you choose to speak to me first.

I don’t routinely contact your GP or share information about you. Confidentiality would only be broken in limited circumstances involving serious risk, safeguarding or a legal requirement, and wherever possible I would discuss this with you first.

Send me a message through the contact form or book a free introductory call. We can briefly discuss what you are looking for and decide whether to arrange a first session.
