About me…..

My journey into this work began with my own counselling. It took a few tries to find the right counsellor for me, someone who helped me understand myself, be myself, and, most importantly, be compassionate with myself. That experience taught me how much the right fit matters, which is exactly why I offer an introductory call: so you can get a feel for whether we're a good match before committing to anything further. Alongside this, a lifelong fascination with people and a natural knack for putting people at ease led me to become a counsellor over six years ago, and it's shaped the way I work ever since.

I'm based at the Cranberry Wellbeing Centre in Eastleigh, Hampshire. I hold a degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy and I'm a registered member of the BACP, a membership backed by the government, to ensure I am qualified and work ethically.

Alongside my counselling qualification, I'm also a qualified ADHD coach. I trained in this because I kept seeing how much difference practical, brain-friendly strategies can make sitting alongside the emotional work. These work for those who are neurodivergent, and those who are not, and can become a part of our work if wanted.

I work with individuals only. That's a deliberate choice: it means that even when we're exploring a relationship, a family dynamic, or a partnership, the space stays entirely yours. so the focus is entirley on you, just room to say what's actually true for you.

I love being able to help others find their peace, whatever that means to them, and I'm honoured to be part of people's journeys, whether that's six sessions or ongoing support. What matters most to me is that you feel genuinely met, not diagnosed, not fixed, not managed. Just understood.

If any of this resonates, I'd love to hear from you. Contact me and let's see if we're the right fit.

My aim…..

I hope to collaboratively build a relationship with you, where you feel deeply heard, validated and safe to bring whatever you choose, free of judgement and safe in the knowledge that it is confidential.

I aim to do this by following your lead. You are in the driving seat and direct what we speak about, with me helping to navigate any bumps we come across on the way. By working together and you having time to tell your story and express your thoughts and feelings, I can help you reflect and make sense of your world, which hopefully empowers you and leads you to have more understanding and control of your life and make any changes if you wish to.

I will hold space for all parts of you, with warmth and compassion, allowing you space and time to explore any aspects of your life you may wish to look at.

I help those who are:

  • Neurodivergent

  • Anxious

  • Depressed

  • Have low self-esteem/confidence

  • Struggle with boundaries and people pleasing

  • Experiencing life changes/challenges

  • Having relationship or family difficulties

  • Menopausal

  • Experiencing loss/Bereavement

  • Burnout and work stress

  • This is not an exhaustive list, please contact me to see if I am the right fit for you.
