How I can support you and concerns I work with

Over the years, I have supported clients through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. Some come with a clear concern; others simply feel something is not quite right. As an integrative, person-centred counsellor, I work with a wide range of emotional, psychological, and relational issues. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, facing a life change, or unsure where to start, I offer a compassionate, non-judgemental space to explore whatever is going on for you.

Below are some of the areas I work with:

I support clients experiencing:

  • Anxiety and panic attacks
  • Low mood or depression
  • Emotional overwhelm or feeling stuck
  • Social anxiety
  • Low self-esteem or confidence
  • Stress and burnout
  • Suicidal thoughts or feelings
  • Intrusive thoughts or mood swings
  • Phobias
  • Anger and emotional regulation
  • Imposter syndrome and self-esteem
  • Difficulty regulating emotions or managing distressing thoughts

Trauma and Recovery

If you have experienced trauma or difficult past experiences, I provide support with:

Relationships and Family Life

  • Parenting challenges and family conflict

Grief and Loss

Grief is personal and unique. I can support you through:

  • Disordered eating
  • Self-harm or risky behaviours

Identity, Gender and Sexuality

Exploring who you are is important and personal. I work affirmatively with clients who are:

  • Questioning or exploring their identity
  • Navigating their gender or sexuality
  • Coming out
  • Experiencing shame, stigma, or internalised judgement
  • Seeking LGBTQ+ affirmative support

Work, Study and Practical Stressors

Everyday pressures can impact mental wellbeing. I offer support for:

  • Academic pressure or performance anxiety
  • Financial strain or instability
  • Balancing personal, professional, and family roles

Whatever you are going through, you do not have to face it alone and you do not have to have it all figured out to begin with.
