Life is about Being & Becoming.

I’m a qualified, fully insured Counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I believe that our mental and emotional wellbeing is just as vital as our physical health - and that healing often begins with human connection. My aim is to offer you a safe, compassionate, and confidential space where you can share your story, explore your concerns, and reconnect with your authentic self.

My approach is rooted in warmth, respect, and genuine curiosity. I bring my values of compassion and connection into every session, holding space for you to feel seen, heard, and valued. You matter. Your needs matter. And what you bring to the world is uniquely yours - I’m here to support you on your journey of self-discovery and emotional growth.

Finding the right counsellor is a personal decision. Some people seek gentle reflection, others prefer practical tools. As a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches - including cognitive and dialectical behavioural therapies, mindfulness, and creative exercises - but always with sensitivity to what feels right for you. I believe the most important foundation is a trusting relationship. You’ll have my full attention and acceptance, and we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you. 

Together, we’ll explore how you feel, think, and act, beliefs about yourself and the world, emotional patterns and personal challenges, and ways to build insight, resilience, and self-trust. I’ll walk beside you - wherever you are in your struggles - with sensitivity and care.

My curiosity about people led me to study Sociology, where I found a deep interest in Social Psychology. I’ve long been drawn to the emotional world - especially the impact of sensitivity and introversion on self-confidence, overwhelm, and anxiety. This passion led me to personal development courses in emotional intelligence, identity, and self-esteem. After navigating significant life changes and experiencing the transformative power of therapy myself, I trained at Step by Step Counselling College - first completing an advanced certificate, then continuing with a full diploma. The experience was life-changing and affirmed my calling to support others.

I have a particular interest in high sensitivity - a trait found in around 15-30% of the population. Highly sensitive individuals (known as Highly Sensitive Persons or HSP) tend to process experiences more deeply and feel more attuned to their inner and outer worlds. As a highly sensitive person myself, I understand how deeply sensitivity can shape our inner world - bringing both richness and challenge. This lived experience informs how I hold space: with gentleness, depth, and respect for emotional nuance. I help clients embrace the strengths of sensitivity while navigating its challenges with care and clarity. Alongside my counselling work, I’m currently training in transpersonal coaching, expanding my practice to support sensitive clients in new ways. This evolving modality blends emotional insight with gentle, forward-focused exploration. This expansion reflects my commitment to supporting sensitive clients in diverse, affirming ways - always with warmth and care

Over the years, I’ve supported university students through several academic years within the wellbeing team at the University of Exeter - an experience that deepened my understanding of the unique pressures faced by young adults. Alongside this, I’ve worked with older adults through a counselling charity, and supported individuals in crisis via a text-based helpline. These varied roles have shaped my ability to meet people where they are, with sensitivity and care.

I’ve always felt a deep connection between the mind and body - how emotions can settle into the body, sometimes quietly shaping how we move through the world. This belief led me to explore holistic approaches like hypnotherapy and reiki, especially during times when I needed support myself. I found their gentle, grounding nature helped me reconnect with hope, calm, and inner clarity. These experiences continue to shape how I hold space for others: with tenderness, transparency, and trust in the body’s quiet wisdom.

Whether you're navigating change, seeking clarity, or simply longing to feel more like yourself - this is a space for your story, your healing, and your becoming.
