“Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength“
Sigmund Freud
Welcome
Starting therapy can feel like a significant step, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy isn’t about fixing what’s broken, it’s about creating space for healing and self-understanding. As an Accredited trauma-informed Integrative Counsellor registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I offer a safe, confidential space to explore your experiences with care and understanding, and support you as you process past experiences, regain emotional balance, and move towards emotional well-being.
You deserve a place to feel heard, understood, and supported. If you’re ready to take the next step, reach out, I’d love to walk alongside you on your journey to healing.
What Can I Help With?
Counselling is a deeply personal journey, and finding the right path forward takes time. I offer a safe, supportive, and confidential space where you can explore past experiences, gain clarity, and work towards emotional well-being at a pace that feels right for you. My practice specialises in supporting individuals who have experienced childhood trauma, sexual abuse, and rape, by providing a compassionate and non-judgmental environment for healing. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, bereavement, or self-esteem challenges, I am here to walk alongside you, helping you process emotions, build resilience, and reconnect with your inner strength.

Feeling & Emotions
Our emotions shape the way we experience the world, yet they can sometimes feel overwhelming, unpredictable, or even out of reach. If you’ve found yourself suppressing difficult feelings, therapy can offer a safe and compassionate space to explore them. Suppressing feelings can lead to negative coping strategies which numb the underlying cause; the more we hide, the bigger they get.
You might feel sadness, fear, anger, or uncertainty, but every emotion has a purpose. Counselling isn’t about pushing emotions away, it’s about gently understanding them, making space for healing, and allowing yourself to reconnect with what you truly feel.
Therapy is a journey of self-awareness, one that unfolds at your own pace. As we work together, we can uncover the emotions behind your experiences and find ways to navigate them with kindness and self-compassion.
The Mask
Occasionally, when experiencing emotions such as anxiety, anger, sadness, or fear, we may mask our true feelings behind a facade. This mask often acts as a mechanism to avoid distressing situations or to protect ourselves from the intensity of these emotions. Despite showing outward behaviours of laughter, smiles, and contentment, our internal state may differ significantly. While adopting a brave front is common practice, sometimes the most courageous action is to reveal our true self. Although this may initially seem daunting, embracing authenticity can be empowering and facilitate a profound journey of self-discovery.

Give Yourself Time…
Counselling is a space for reflection, self-awareness, and healing, and one that unfolds at its own pace. Setting aside time each week to explore your thoughts and emotions can lead to greater clarity and a deeper understanding of your life experiences.
Therapy isn’t about finding instant solutions, but rather about allowing yourself the time to process, feel, and grow. There may be times that are difficult, and you may experience emotions such as sadness, anger, or uncertainty. Other times, silence and reflection may feel more natural. All these moments are part of the process.
Healing takes patience and engagement. As you navigate this journey, practicing kindness towards yourself is just as important as the work you do in therapy.
Give yourself the time you need.
