Stress and overwhelm
When life feels too full, your body is tense, sleep is disturbed, or you cannot properly switch off.

Begin exactly where you are
You do not need to have everything worked out before asking for help
Many people arrive with only a feeling: tired, anxious, tearful, restless, numb, or unable to keep carrying things in the same way.
My work offers time and space to slow down, talk honestly, and begin to notice what is happening in your mind, body and life. We can work with immediate stress or with longer-standing patterns that have become difficult to live with.
The approach is integrative, person-centred and body-aware. That means the sessions are shaped around you, rather than forcing you into a fixed method.
Who this may help
Support for experiences that can be hard to carry alone
Therapy can be useful when you need a safe, confidential relationship in which to make sense of what is happening and find a steadier way forward.
Anxiety and self-doubt
When worry, low confidence, people-pleasing or inner criticism make it difficult to feel at ease.
Loss and change
When grief, relationship change, illness, ageing, work pressure or transition has unsettled your sense of self.
Old patterns
When the same reactions keep returning, even when part of you already understands them intellectually.
The work
Therapy for mind, body and spirit — without pressure or performance
Some people come for counselling only. Others are drawn to mindfulness, body-centred work, relaxation or healing. We can keep the work practical, reflective, spiritual, or a careful mixture of these.

Professional counselling with a warm whole-person approach
I am a UKCP Registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with an advanced diploma in Integrative Counselling, previous training in Humanistic and Person-Centred Counselling, and a background in Psychology.
I have also studied The Hakomi Method and Body Listening, both of which bring careful attention to how experience can be held in the body as well as in the mind. I am a full Healer Member of The Healing Trust and offer guided relaxation and healing for people who want this additional support.
Everything said in counselling is treated confidentially. I have regular supervision and ongoing professional development.
