Counselling Support

What Therapy Is Like

Counselling offers a calm, steady space to think clearly and explore what feels difficult, confusing, or overwhelming. You can bring whatever is happening in your life — thoughts, feelings, memories, or situations that are hard to make sense of on your own. There is no pressure to present things neatly or to know exactly where to begin. We work it out together.

My Approach

My work is person‑centred, trauma‑informed, and relational. This means we pay attention to your experience, your pace, and the relationship we build in the room. Therapy is collaborative rather than directive; I don’t tell you what to do, but I help you understand yourself more deeply so you can make choices that feel right for you.

Short‑Term and Longer‑Term Therapy

People come to counselling for different reasons.

Short‑term therapy can help with a specific issue, decision, or period of stress.

Longer‑term therapy offers space to explore deeper patterns, trauma, relational dynamics, or experiences that have built up over time.

We can talk together about what feels most helpful for you.

Online, In‑Person, and Telephone Sessions

I offer counselling online, in person, and by telephone. You’re welcome to choose the format that feels most comfortable. If you prefer in‑person work, full details of the therapy space are shared during the introductory call.

What I Can Help With

I work with a wide range of experiences, including:

• anxiety and stress

• trauma

• abuse and sexual violence

• relationship strain

• long‑term pressure

• suicidal distress

• early adulthood transitions

• cultural adjustment

• complex relational dynamics, including narcissistic patterns

You don’t need to fit into a category — if something is affecting your wellbeing, we can explore it.

Beginning Therapy

Starting counselling can feel daunting, especially if you’ve been carrying things alone for a long time. You don’t need to have the “right words” or a clear explanation. The first step is simply reaching out. We can arrange an introductory call so you can ask questions, get a sense of how I work, and decide whether therapy with me feels like a good fit.
