Hello — I'm glad you're here
Looking for a counsellor is a strange thing to do. You're often at your least certain, being asked to make a decision about someone you've never met.
So let me make it simpler. I work with people carrying trauma, people who are neurodivergent, and very often people who are both. Anxiety, low mood, burnout, shaky self-esteem, relationships that keep hurting, work that's grinding you down — these tend to come along for the ride.
You don't need to have it worked out before you get in touch. That's rather the point.
What we might work on together
- Trauma — recent, or long in the past and still loud
- Being neurodivergent, or wondering whether you are
- Anxiety
- Depression and low mood
- Burnout
- Self-esteem and self-worth
- Relationships — family, friendships, partners
- Work and workplace difficulties
No two sets of sessions look the same
Some people want to talk. Some want structure. Some want to work creatively, or sit in silence, or spend the first ten minutes complaining about their week before we get anywhere near the real thing.
I individualise counselling to the person in front of me. We'll decide together what you want out of this and how the sessions should look — and that stays open to change, because you will too.
Approachable. Non-judgemental. Warm. Empowering.
