Space to explore, room to grow

Counselling can be helpful if you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply want a space to explore yourself more deeply.  If you are unsure, you are welcome to get in touch to discuss whether counselling may be suitable for you.

No.  Many people come to counselling feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or unable to put things into words.  We can begin wherever you are.  Therapy is a space to explore what feels important for you, at your own pace.

Yes, I work with neurodivergent people, including those with ADHD, autism, dyslexia and other neurodivergent experiences.  You do not need a formal diagnosis to access counselling.

That's completely ok.  Many people find it hard to name or describe emotions.  We can work gently at your pace, using reflection, clarification or alternative ways of expressing what you're experiencing.

No.  Counselling is not about fixing you.  My approach focuses on understanding your experiences, building self-acceptance, and supporting your well-being in ways that feel authentic to you.

I work with people experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, trauma, identity issues and emotional overwhelm.  You do not need a diagnosis to benefit from counselling.

Yes.  Confidentiality is a fundamental part of counselling.  There are rare legal or ethical exceptions, such as a serious risk of harm to yourself or others, which will be explained fully at the start of our work together.

It is completely ok to experience strong emotions in counselling.  I will support you at a pace that feels manageable and help you ground yourself if things feel overwhelming.

Yes, sessions can be adapted in ways that support you, such as allowing more processing time, adjusting the pace, using clear language or structuring sessions more clearly if that feels helpful.

The first session is a gentle starting point.  We'll talk about what has brought you to counselling, what you hope for and how we might work together.  There is no pressure to share anything you are not ready to.  You can also ask questions and get a feel for whether I am the right counsellor for you.

We can pause, slow things down, or ground the session if you begin to feel overwhelmed.  You are always in control of the pace, and we will work in a way that prioritises your sense of safety.

There is no set number of sessions.  Some people attend for a short period, while others choose longer-term counselling.  We will review your goals regularly, and you remain in control of how long you continue.

No.  You are free to attend for as long or as short a time as feels right for you.  Counselling is client-led, and there is no obligation to continue if you decideit is not right for you.

Sessions take place via a secure video platform.  You will need a private space, a stable internet connection, and a device with a camera and microphone.  Online counselling offers flexibility and can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy.

Yes, research shows that online counselling can be just as effective as in-person therapy for many people.  It also offers greater accessibility and convenience, particularly if you feel more comfortable in your own space.

Yes, you are free to stop at any time.  If possible, a planned ending session can be helpful, but I understand that life circumstances sometimes change unexpectedly.  

You can book directly through the website using the online booking system.  If you have any questions before booking, you are welcome to contact me.
