Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, low self-esteem, trauma, bereavement, or family issues? With gentle guidance, I can help you develop self-awareness, confidence and inner peace, so that change and growth begins naturally for you. You are not defined by past experiences or present struggles. I walk alongside you at your own pace, helping you bring light into shadowy areas, understand the patterns shaping your life, and allow for a richer sense of self to unfold.
About me and my practice
While every persons journey is different, I draw from several approaches that help you reconnect with your natural capacity for clarity and healing.
Person-Centred. Creating the Conditions for Growth.
At the heart of therapy is the relationship itself. I offer warmth, empathy, and genuine understanding so you can feel safe, accepted, and free to explore whatever you need. When you feel truly heard and understood, change begins naturally.
Mindfulness-Based. Cultivating Awareness and Letting Go
Mindfulness helps you meet your experiences with presence rather than resistance. Instead of trying to fix thoughts or feelings, you learn to observe them with curiosity and compassion, allowing emotions to move through more freely. Over time, you may find more calm, perspective and space to breathe.
Psychosynthesis. Integrating the Many Parts of the Self.
You may sometimes feel pulled in different directions, as though parts of you are in conflict. Counselling can help these parts find voice and understanding so your inner world feels less conflicted. Psychosynthesis also supports you in connecting with a deeper sense of self a steady awareness beneath everyday thoughts and emotions.
Existential. Living with Meaning and Authenticity.
This approach invites reflection on the larger questions that shape your life: purpose, freedom, belonging, mortality. It helps you face uncertainty with courage and make choices that feel true to your values and what really matters to you.
Relational. Healing Through Connection.
Much of our pain arises in relationships, and much of our healing happens there too. The therapeutic relationship offers a safe space to explore how you relate to others and to yourself. With greater awareness and compassion, old patterns can shift, allowing new ways of being to emerge.
If youre ready to begin a process of self exploration and gentle change with someone who is passionate about this process, Id be honoured to walk alongside you.
Experience
Im a qualified Integrative Counsellor with a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a Registered Member of the BACP (Register No. 414857). Alongside my private practice, I also work as a counsellor for Wiltshire Mind. My background includes a Masters degree in philosophy, ongoing academic research into counselling philosophy, and guest lecturing in applied philosophy for well-being. I also have many years of experience teaching mindfulness and Eastern philosophies, which continues to shape my therapeutic approach.
My work is grounded in the belief that self-awareness is the path to self-transformation, and that we all hold an innate capacity for healing and growth. Through developing deeper awareness with a trained therapist, you can begin to recognise and understand the patterns and perspectives that shape your life, allowing them to shift and evolve rather than remain entrenched. Counselling provides space to cultivate this awareness and reconnect with your own natural strength, balance and wisdom.
I bring warmth, curiosity and compassion to each session, creating a space where you can safely explore whatever feels difficult. My role isnt to fix you, but to walk alongside you as you make sense of your experiences and rediscover a greater sense of ease, meaning and self-understanding. Whatever youre struggling with, my aim is to support you in finding a more peaceful and authentic way of being.
