Indvidual Therapy

Starting counselling can feel like a big step, particularly if you haven't spoken to someone about your experiences before. You don't need to prepare anything or know exactly where to begin.

We will start by exploring what has brought you to therapy, what you would like support with and what you hope might be different. This gives us an opportunity to understand your circumstances and consider how we might work together.

For couples and relationship therapy, this also means making space to understand each person's perspective and what they would like from the process. We can begin to explore the patterns or difficulties that have brought you together and identify what you might want to work towards. Sessions are collaborative, and your thoughts and feedback are an important part of shaping our work. We can review things as we go, including what feels helpful, what might need a different approach and whether your needs or priorities have changed.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. Perhaps you're caught in cycles of overthinking, struggling with anxiety or low mood, or finding it difficult to feel comfortable in yourself.

You might be processing a bereavement, navigating a

significant life change or trying to make sense of

experiences that continue to affect you. I work with

adults experiencing a range of difficulties, including:

Anxiety, stress and overwhelm
Depression and low mood
Low self-esteem and confidence
Trauma and difficult past experiences
ADHD, autism and neurodivergent experiences
OCD and unhelpful or repetitive thought patterns
Bereavement and loss
Relationship and family difficulties
Life transitions and questions around identity or direction

You don't need to have everything worked out before starting counselling, or even know exactly what you want to talk about. Sometimes having the opportunity to explore what's going on with someone who is genuinely interested in understanding your experience can be a helpful starting point.

My aim isn't to tell you how to feel or what decisions to make. Instead, we can explore your experiences, recognise patterns and consider what might help you move towards a way of living that feels more comfortable and meaningful.
