How I Work With Clients

For me, the relationship we build is the most important part of therapy; it’s where real change and understanding begin. You might be feeling a bit nervous or unsure right now—that’s completely normal. Whatever you're bringing with you, it’s welcome here. My job is to create a space where you feel safe, comfortable, and truly heard.

I work as an Integrative Counsellor, which just means I draw on a few different approaches to better support you. The main ones I use are:

• Person-Centered Therapy

• Transactional Analysis (TA)

• Psychodynamic Therapy

Rather than sticking to one fixed method, I combine these ideas in a way that suits you. Everyone’s different, so your therapy should be too. If you’re curious to learn more, I’ve broken things down a bit more in the FAQ section.

What You Can Expect

I keep things flexible because life doesn’t always run on a perfect schedule. There’s no set number of sessions and no pressure to commit to weekly appointments unless that feels right for you. We’ll talk about what you’re hoping for and figure out a pace that makes sense.

Throughout our time together, you’ll be part of every decision. I’m here to guide and support you, not tell you what to do. This is your space, and we’ll shape it in a way that feels right for you.

Who I Work With

I work with adults from all walks of life, offering a kind and supportive space to explore whatever’s on your mind. You're welcome to reach out with any issue, but I understand it can be helpful to know the areas I have particular experience in, to give you a clearer sense of how I can support you.

Some of the people I see are navigating grief and loss—this might be a bereavement, a relationship ending, a change in health, or a loss of identity or direction. Whatever the circumstances of your loss, we can work together to find steadiness in the midst of change.

I also support clients living with long-term health conditions, such as MS, Crohn’s, or Colitis. My previous career as a medical secretary means I have a good understanding of medical language and NHS systems, which can help when things feel overwhelming or hard to explain. In addition to this, I have experience providing counselling for people who are blind or partially sighted, and offer a thoughtful, flexible approach that recognises the unique challenges this can bring both physically and emotionally.

Many clients come to me for help with issues that they describe as anxiety and overwhelming worries, low self-esteem or loss of confidence, and the lasting impact of childhood difficulties, including experiences like bullying, emotional abuse or neglect. Together, we gently explore how the past may still be affecting the present, and work toward healing and greater self-understanding.
