About my journey

My journey into counselling began through my own lived experience. During my first pregnancy I suffered with prenatal anxiety and later received diagnoses of generalised anxiety disorder and panic disorder. Therapy offered me not only relief but also understanding and a sense of being deeply heard. This experience inspired me to train as a counsellor and dedicate my career to supporting others as they navigate life’s challenges.

Because I know first-hand how overwhelming anxiety and emotional struggles can feel, my approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity and companionship. I aim to offer a space where you don’t need to explain away your feelings, mask your struggles or feel alone in them. Whether you are facing the impact of trauma, adjusting after a life event, coping with a diagnosis or grieving a bereavement, I work alongside you with compassion and respect, meeting you exactly where you are.

I spent four years training and developing my skills, supported by a rich and varied placement experience. During this time, I worked with individuals facing a wide range of needs including those who are neurodiverse, those living with trauma and those navigating complex and often overwhelming life circumstances. I also gained specialist experience within a hospice setting, where I provided therapeutic support for people coping with bereavement and end-of-life challenges, as well as co-facilitating group therapy sessions for patients approaching the end of life. These experiences deepened my understanding of the many ways people experience and express their struggles and reinforced my belief that every therapeutic journey is as unique as the individual.
