Welcome
L
ife can sometimes feel overwhelming, leaving us unsure of where to turn. You might be struggling with difficult emotions, facing changes in your relationships, or simply wanting space to explore who you are. Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to face it alone.
​
As a person-centred counsellor, I offer a calm, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and be truly heard. My role is not to give advice, but to walk alongside you as you explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.
​
People come to counselling for many different reasons, including:
​
-
Stress, anxiety, or low self-confidence
-
Feelings of depression, sadness, or loneliness
-
Relationship challenges, separation, or family difficulties
-
Coping with change — such as career stress, retirement, or illness
-
The impact of past experiences, including loss, trauma, or bullying
-
Questions of identity, meaning, or self-understanding
Every person’s journey is unique. By working together, we can create the conditions for growth, healing, and a stronger sense of self.
​
Your journey toward emotional well-being begins here.
