About Counselling

Counselling gives you the opportunity to explore whatever you wish to bring in a supportive, empathic environment, free from judgement. Having this space can help us see our life more clearly. Through exploration, we can increase awareness in ourselves, recognise any changes we want to implement and begin to see a way forward.

As a counsellor, I don't advise or tell you what to do and I can't change your situation. What I can do is walk alongside you, offering support and empathy as you explore aspects of your life and any difficulties you may have, helping you to see things more clearly. We know ourselves better than anyone else and I believe everyone has their own answers within them. Working with a counsellor can be an enlightening process uncovering these and working out what we need to move forwards.

Counselling can help with many different aspects of life including:

Feelings of anxiety or depression
Feeling lost and uncertain of the future
After a bereavement, loss or life change
Relationship difficulties
Wanting to become more self aware and understand more about ourselves
Difficulties coping with a long term health condition
Confusion over identity
Exploring difficulties at work
It could simply be that you need a confidential, non-judgemental space within which to talk about whatever is on your mind

I have experience and theoretical knowledge of Autistic Spectrum Condition and neurodivergence including ADHD. It has been a privilege to use my knowledge and experience to help and empower many clients struggling with aspects relating to these.

I also have knowledge of Multiple Sclerosis and experience of counselling those living with this condition.

My experience includes counselling for MIND, MS-UK, within Primary Care in a GP surgery and for a Community Economic Development Trust in Plymouth. I am also a trained Samaritan and have Social Prescribing experience and extensive knowledge of national services relating to mental health, wellbeing, autism and neurodivergence.
