I believe that everyone deserves a space where they can feel truly heard, understood and accepted without judgement. So often, we can find ourselves asking, “What’s wrong with me?” Yet I believe that one of the most compassionate questions we can ask is, “What has happened to you?” Our experiences shape the way we see ourselves, our relationships and the world around us, and counselling can offer a safe space to make sense of those experiences with curiosity and compassion.
Whether you are facing anxiety, loss, relationship difficulties, trauma, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life, I offer a calm, compassionate and confidential space where we can work together at a pace that feels right for you.
As an experienced, professionally qualified therapeutic counsellor in private practice and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I work with adults across South Holland, Lincolnshire, and online with clients throughout the UK.
At present, I am offering online counselling via secure Zoom or telephone while my new therapy room in Long Sutton, South Holland, is being completed. I look forward to welcoming clients there as soon as it is ready.
Whether we meet online or, in the near future, in person, my aim is the same: to build a therapeutic relationship where you feel supported, understood and able to explore whatever has brought you to counselling.
Working together at this time
For many people, online counselling provides a supportive, effective and flexible way of working. If this feels right for you, I would be delighted to hear from you.
If you would prefer face-to-face counselling, you are very welcome to get in touch. I would be happy to add your details to my waiting list and contact you as soon as appointments become available.
I hope to resume face-to-face counselling from mid-September, although this may change slightly as my new therapy room nears completion.
If you have any questions or would simply like to talk through what might feel right for you, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
A Little about my Approach
For over 23 years, I have had the privilege of walking alongside people through many different seasons of their lives, and for the past 18 years I have worked in private practice. During that time, one thing has become increasingly clear to me: every person who comes to counselling has a unique story, and no two journeys are ever quite the same.
Over the years, working within both private practice and charitable organisations has continually deepened my belief that meaningful therapy begins with feeling safe enough to be heard, understood and accepted. As we begin to make sense of where we are today, it can often be helpful to gently explore the experiences that have shaped us along the way.
Together, we become curious about the beliefs we hold, the ways we have learnt to cope, and the patterns that may have developed over many years. Many of these may once have helped us to survive difficult experiences or relationships. Sometimes they continue to support us, and sometimes they may begin to limit how we live or how we see ourselves.
My professional experience has included working within both the public sector and charitable organisations, including:
- Dhiverse, a sexual health charity in Cambridgeshire, as a Support Worker.
- The Matthew Project, West Norfolk, supporting people affected by drug and alcohol use.
- A mental health charity in West Norfolk, where I worked as both a counsellor and group facilitator.
Each of these roles has broadened my understanding of the many different ways people experience emotional pain, loss, trauma, relationships and change. They continue to shape the way I think, listen and work alongside the people who place their trust in me.
My hope is that counselling becomes a place where you feel safe enough to explore your experiences openly and honestly. Together, we can make sense of what has brought you here, deepen your understanding of yourself, and consider new ways of relating to yourself and to others with greater compassion and authenticity.
