Are you feeling alone, anxious, unfulfilled, or caught in a cycle that leaves you unsure of where to begin?

Do you find yourself struggling with relationships, self-worth, or patterns that come from your childhood or past relationships which you have had?

As an integrative counsellor, I specialise in helping adults who struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and emotional regulation, often rooted in childhood experiences with caregivers and past relationships. My approach is tailored to each person, as we all have unique experiences. You will have a safe space to explore how your past influences your present relationships, behaviours, and emotional responses such as anger, sadness, or frustration. I specialise in relational work, supporting you in understanding and improving the way you connect with others and yourself. Whether you're single and struggling to build meaningful connections, or in a relationship but feeling emotionally disconnected, experiencing conflict, or facing communication breakdowns, I can help you create stronger, more fulfilling connections with others, but also with yourself. Together, we will explore your thoughts, feelings, and values through conversation, worksheets, and mindfulness/inner child techniques. This will support you in building emotional resilience, healthier communication, and more secure relationships.

Whether you're dealing with unresolved relationship patterns, or seeking personal growth, I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space to help you heal and thrive.

How I Work:

My approach is simple and tailored to what you need. Alongside our sessions, we’ll use worksheets and tools to help you reflect on your thoughts, track your emotions, and develop practical skills for everyday life. These resources are designed to complement our work and give you something to refer back to between sessions.

I offer a safe, supportive space where you can talk openly and feel understood. I hope I can support you to:

Build your confidence

Improve your relationships and break unhealthy patterns and communicate more effectively.

Manage your emotions and learn tools to handle anxiety, anger, or stress.

Understand your past and make sense of how your affects you now
