Meet our Counsellors
As a qualified counsellor with a Master’s in Counselling and a Bachelor’s in Psychological Sciences. I am dedicated to supporting women through life’s complex challenges—whether it's stress, anxiety, mental health concerns, or the unique transitions that come with each stage of life.
What sets my approach apart is not just my academic training, but my personal journey living with a chronic medical condition. I understand firsthand how overwhelming it can feel to balance daily responsibilities, relationships, and self-care while managing health issues. This lived experience fuels my empathy and informs my work, allowing me to connect on a deeper, more authentic level with clients facing similar struggles.
In our sessions, you’ll find a safe, non-judgmental space where your feelings and experiences are genuinely heard and respected. I use evidence-based techniques tailored to your needs, always honouring your strengths and values. My goal is to help you build resilience, rediscover hope, and develop practical strategies for navigating whatever life brings. You don’t have to face these challenges alone.

I am a Counsellor dedicated to helping people navigate life’s challenges and improve their emotional wellbeing. I provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental environment where clients can explore their experiences, gain insight, and work towards meaningful change.
Areas I support, include anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief, chronic pain, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem concerns. I take a person-centred, trauma-informed approach, recognising that every individual’s experiences, strengths, and goals are unique.
With more than 20 years of experience in healthcare, I bring a unique understanding of the connection between physical health, emotional wellbeing, trauma, and recovery. I am passionate about supporting adults experiencing trauma, chronic stress, major life changes, and emotional challenges that may be impacting their quality of life.
I believe counselling is a collaborative process. My role is to help clients build self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, develop resilience, and move forward with greater confidence and purpose.
