Individual Counselling
I offer one-to-one counselling for adults (18+) who are looking for support with emotional difficulties, life transitions, or patterns of behaviour that no longer serve them. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship issues, grief, or a general sense of being overwhelmed, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, gain clarity, and build resilience. Sessions are tailored to your pace and needs, offering a safe and confidential space to explore whatever feels most important to you.
Couples Counselling
Relationships can be one of the most rewarding—and challenging—parts of our lives. I work with couples who want to deepen their emotional connection, improve communication, and navigate conflict in more constructive ways. Whether you’re facing a specific crisis or simply want to strengthen your bond, couples therapy can help you better understand each other and build a more secure, honest, and supportive partnership. I am currently training in couples therapy in both the UK and US, drawing particularly on Terry Real’s Relational Life Therapy (RLT) model.
Therapeutic Coaching for Young People (Ages 11–17)
Adolescence is a time of rapid emotional, social, and psychological development — and for many young people today, it can feel overwhelming.
I offer therapeutic support for young people aged 11–17, combining elements of counselling and coaching to create a space where they can express themselves openly and feel truly heard.
Sessions are tailored to the unique needs of each individual and may support young people facing challenges such as:
* Anxiety, low mood, and emotional overwhelm
* Derealisation and depersonalisation
* OCD and intrusive thoughts
* ADHD, attention difficulties, and impulsivity
* Online pressures, including social media stress, screen fatigue, and digital comparison
* Bullying and peer difficulties (both in-person and online)
* Friendship and relationship struggles, identity confusion, or family conflict
* Low self-esteem, lack of motivation, or academic pressure
* Negative self-talk, perfectionism, or feelings of not being “good enough”
Through a supportive and engaging approach, I help young people develop emotional regulation, self-awareness, and confidence. Therapy with adolescents involves working relationally, at their pace, and using creative or coaching-based tools when appropriate to empower them to navigate this complex stage of life.
If you’re a parent or carer concerned about a young person’s wellbeing, feel free to get in touch to discuss how I can help.
