About Me
I am down-to-earth, friendly and relatable in my counselling approach. People say they experience me as calm and approachable, finding me consistent and reliable, honest and trustworthy.
I provide a trusting, safe and confidential therapeutic space where clients can come to speak honestly and openly and be understood and accepted for who they really are. Working collaboratively, I aim to help each client to explore and expand their self-awareness and self-understanding, empowering them to move forward with greater self-esteem and confidence towards a more contented life experience.
Alongside my private practice at Be Well Counselling, I volunteer with an inner-city Southampton based charitable organisation offering subsidised counselling services with emphasis on survivors of domestic abuse. I value this role particularly highly as I believe that mental well-being support should be available to everybody regardless of their personal background or circumstances. I also work in the student well-being service of a local university providing counselling support to UK and international university students, and have worked with a national bereavement organisation supporting clients through the impact of loss and grief.
In these positions I have supported clients with a wide range of personal issues including anxiety and depression, low self-esteem and burnout. I have helped clients explore and process impact of abuse and trauma, domestic abuse, bereavement and grief. I have helped clients in their processing and working through relationship issues and divorce, parenting issues and changes in personal circumstance.
If you are considering professional counselling support to tackle personal issues, changes in circumstances or are experiencing a challenging period in your life, please get in touch.
