Navigating your journey

Life can bring a wide range of emotional and mental health challenges, from anxiety and depression to bereavement, trauma, and relationship difficulties. Therapy provides a safe, supportive space to explore these experiences, understand your feelings, and develop strategies for coping and growth. No matter what you’re facing, counselling can help you feel heard, gain perspective, and take steps toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. Each session is tailored to your unique needs, empowering you to work through challenges at your own pace and in a way that feels right for you.

Anxiety

Anxiety can feel overwhelming, like your mind is constantly racing or you are always waiting for something to go wrong. I offer a calm and supportive space to help you slow down, make sense of what you’re feeling, and learn ways to manage the thoughts and sensations that fuel anxiety. Together, we explore what is underneath the worry and work towards restoring balance, confidence, and a greater sense of ease in your daily life.

Depression

Depression can leave you feeling drained, disconnected, or as though you have lost touch with the person you used to be. I offer a compassionate, non-judgemental space where you can explore those feelings at your own pace. Together, we look at what might be weighing you down, reconnect with your sense of purpose, and gently find ways to bring light and motivation back into your life.

Bereavement

Losing someone you love can turn your world upside down. Bereavement can bring a mix of emotions; sadness, anger, guilt, even numbness, and it can take time to make sense of life after loss. I offer a gentle, understanding space where you can talk openly about your feelings and your loved one. Together, we can explore your grief at your own pace, helping you find ways to cope, honour your loss, and begin to reconnect with life in a way that feels meaningful for you.

Grief

Grief isn’t only about losing someone, it can also come from the loss of a relationship, a change in health, identity, or life circumstances. It can feel heavy, confusing, and isolating, especially when others expect you to “move on".  I offer a compassionate space to help you process what’s changed and what that loss means for you. Together, we gently explore your emotions and support you in finding new ways to heal, grow, and reconnect with hope and meaning.

Stress

Stress can build up quietly until it starts to affect your mood, energy, and wellbeing.

Low Self Esteem

Low self-esteem can quietly affect every part of life, the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the choices you make. You might find it hard to recognise your own worth or to silence the inner critic that tells you you are not enough. I offer a safe, supportive space to explore where those beliefs come from and to start rebuilding a kinder, more confident relationship with yourself. Together, we work towards helping you feel more grounded, capable, and genuinely comfortable in your own skin.

Abuse (emotional, physical, narcissistic)

Experiencing any form of abuse can deeply affect your sense of safety, trust, and self-worth. Whether it’s emotional, physical, or narcissistic, the effects can linger long after the situation ends, leaving you questioning yourself or feeling trapped in patterns of fear or self-doubt.
