Counselling
Counselling offers a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It’s an opportunity to take time for yourself — to be truly heard and supported as you make sense of what’s happening in your life.
As a Person-Centred Counsellor, I believe that you are the expert in your own life. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you to explore and understand your emotions, thoughts, and behaviours at your own pace. Together, we can uncover what may be holding you back and help you move towards greater clarity, confidence, and wellbeing.
What Counselling Can Help With
- Anxiety and stress
- Depression and low mood
- Relationship or family difficulties
- Low self-esteem and confidence
- Trauma and emotional regulation
- Grief, loss, or life transitions
- Feeling stuck or overwhelmed
How Counselling Works
In our sessions, you’ll have the time and space to express yourself freely — without fear of judgement or expectation. Each client is unique, so I adapt my approach to meet your individual needs, drawing on a range of therapeutic techniques where appropriate.
Counselling can help you:
- Gain self-awareness and understanding
- Process difficult emotions
- Strengthen coping strategies
- Reconnect with your sense of self
- Move forward with confidence and purpose
Sessions are available face-to-face, online, or by telephone, depending on what feels most comfortable and accessible for you.
What to Expect in Your First Session
Taking the first step can feel daunting, but it’s a gentle and supportive process. Your first session is an opportunity for you to share what’s been happening, what has brought you to counselling, and what you’d like to work towards.
We’ll explore your story at your pace — there’s no rush or pressure. I’ll ask some questions to help me understand how your thoughts, feelings, and experiences are affecting you, and to begin identifying what might be most helpful moving forward.
This time also gives you a chance to get a feel for how I work, ask any questions you may have, and decide whether I’m the right counsellor for you. Building trust and safety is at the heart of the process, and we’ll take things one step at a time.
If you decide to continue, we’ll arrange further sessions — either weekly or fortnightly — at a pace that feels right for you.
