Finding the right counsellor can feel daunting—I truly understand, as I’ve been there myself. My personal experience with therapy was so transformative that it inspired me to train as a counsellor, knowing the profound impact the right support can have. Taking the first step to reach out for help is not always easy, but it’s a brave and important decision.

At times, life can leave us feeling lost. Whatever brings you here, I believe in creating a trusting, non-judgemental, and safe space where we can work together through it. My goal is to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, because when we explore the ‘why’ behind your struggles, we can begin to find the ‘what now.’

As an integrative counsellor, my core approach is person-centred. I will be led by you, tailoring our sessions to what best meets your needs. At the heart of this approach is the belief that every person has the capacity to resolve their problems, and this process unfolds naturally within a supportive therapeutic relationship.

With four years of experience as an accredited therapist, I know it can be difficult to understand the pain you’re feeling or find meaning in challenging experiences. Whether you’re searching for clarity or a path forward, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

I offer therapy in a confidential, compassionate, and non-judgemental environment where you can openly explore your emotions and work through tough situations. I’m also proud to be the first woman of colour to establish a private counselling and psychotherapy practice in the heart of Middlesbrough, North East England.

I truly believe that with the right environment, time, and support, meaningful change is possible, leading to lasting positive outcomes. This process can help you explore, heal, and develop a healthier mindset. Reach out today to schedule a session and start your journey toward healing, clarity, and emotional well-being.
