About Me

Qualified Integrative Therapist

Devon and online

Are you feeling stuck, or struggling with anxiety, depression or low self-esteem? Are relationships with others or with yourself difficult right now? Therapy can help heal those parts of you that are sad, grieving or perhaps confused. Therapy offers a safe, compassionate space to explore your emotions, thoughts, and behaviours.

In our sessions together, I invite you to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. Therapy is not just about overcoming struggles—it’s about discovering who you truly are and finding the strength to move forward with confidence. Therapy is a collaborative process, and together we will explore the best approach based on your preferences, goals, and personal growth aspirations.

 

As an integrative therapist, I tailor my approach to suit your unique needs and draw from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic models. It is important to me that we find an approach that suits you. I offer all clients compassion, warmth, and non-judgement in a safe and supportive space.  I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship, where you feel safe bringing all parts of yourself into the space—including those that may feel sad, angry, or ashamed. Together, we will explore your experiences, emotions, and challenges in a way that empowers you to heal and grow. 

Supporting others has always been at the heart of my work. Before becoming a therapist, I worked extensively with children, young people, and adults in educational and support settings. My background as a secondary school teacher and SEND specialist has deepened my understanding of human relationships, emotional resilience, and the importance of self-discovery. Life can feel overwhelming and chaotic, but therapy offers a quiet space to reconnect with yourself. I am passionate about helping people uncover their authentic selves and find clarity in their personal journey.

What is Counselling?

What is Counselling?

Counselling is a safe, confidential space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and challenges with the support of a trained and qualified professional.

It’s a dedicated time for you—to be truly heard, understood, and supported without judgment. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or feeling stuck in life, counselling can help you gain clarity, self-awareness, and emotional resilience. Together, we’ll explore the patterns, feelings, and experiences that have brought you here, helping you develop practical strategies to navigate life’s challenges with confidence. Therapy is not about quick fixes—it’s a journey of self-discovery, healing and growth at your own pace.

You are the expert in your own life. While I bring professional knowledge and insights to support your journey, the answers ultimately lie within you. As a qualified counsellor, I listen with curiosity to whatever it is that you wish to explore.  

 

Whether you're seeking relief from painful emotions, support through a difficult transition, or simply a space to reflect and reset, counselling can help you move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. Take the first step today—your well-being matters.
