Counselling That Fits You

Welcome to my counseling practice, where your wellbeing is my top priority.  


Life can feel overwhelming at times — whether you’re navigating school pressures, family changes, parenting challenges, or simply feeling stuck. 


Counselling offers a safe, supportive space to talk things through, explore what’s on your mind, and discover practical ways to move forward. My approach is warm, flexible, and tailored to who you are and what you need, so you can feel heard and supported every step of the way. 

My approach to counselling

Every person is unique

I believe your counselling journey should reflect that. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach — instead, I adapt each session to meet your needs, whether you’re looking for practical strategies, a safe space to unpack emotions, or support navigating life’s challenges.

I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches, including:

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT helps you recognise difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them control your life. Together, we’ll work on building skills to manage challenges while focusing on the values and goals that matter most to you. 

Person-Centred Therapy

At the heart of my work is the belief that you are the expert in your own life. My role is to walk alongside you — offering compassion, understanding, and gentle guidance as we explore your experiences and hopes for the future. 

Faith-Based Support (Optional)

If faith is an important part of your life, I’m happy to incorporate Christian values into our sessions, creating a space where your beliefs are respected and valued.

 Growing up today can feel overwhelming — whether it’s friendships, school pressures, family changes, or figuring out who you are. Counselling offers a safe space to talk about what’s going on, without judgment, and to develop practical ways to manage emotions, stress, and relationships.

Parenting is one of the toughest (and most rewarding) jobs out there. If you’re feeling unsure, stressed, or just need someone to talk to, I’m here to listen and support you. Whether you’re navigating your child’s big emotions, family changes, or your own personal struggles, you don’t have to do it alone.

Life doesn’t come with a manual — and even as adults, we face challenges that leave us feeling stuck, anxious, or uncertain. Whether you’re adjusting to a new phase of life, struggling with relationships, or simply feeling overwhelmed, counselling can help you find clarity and a path forward.
