Supporting you to a brighter tomorrow,
one step at a time.

As a counsellor, I offer a warm, understanding, and non-judgmental space for adults aged 18 and over. I work using person-centred and psychodynamic approaches, which means I aim to meet you as an individual — listening deeply, exploring what’s going on beneath the surface, and supporting you to make sense of your experiences in a way that feels right for you.

I work with adults who feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or ‘too much’ because they’ve spent years living in survival mode. Many of the people I support are carrying the long-term effects of trauma — even if they wouldn’t use that word themselves. You might be someone who feels everything deeply, who holds it together for everyone else, or who’s been strong for so long that you no longer know how to put the weight down. I offer a calm, steady space to help you make sense of what’s happening inside you, understand the impact of your past, and finally feel like you don’t have to carry it alone.

You may be overwhelmed easily, struggle with burnout, or feel emotionally drained even by small things. You might still be affected by experiences that taught your body to stay on alert — critical parents, unpredictable relationships, feeling responsible for others, or having to grow up too quickly. I work slowly, gently, and at your pace, helping you reconnect with yourself and create safety in your nervous system.

Alongside talking therapy, I sometimes work creatively — using gentle, expressive approaches to help you explore feelings that may be hard to put into words. This might include imagery, grounding techniques, or reflective exercises, always guided by what feels safe and comfortable for you.

As the weather is becoming warmer I am beginning to offer Walk and Talk Therapy in locations within, Cheltenham, Tewkesbury and Bishops cleeve.

If you’re unsure whether therapy with me is right for you, I offer a free 15-minute phone call where we can talk through what you’re looking for, answer any questions, and see how it feels to connect.
