Frequently Asked Questions

  • I provide professional counselling for adults, supporting emotional wellbeing, life transitions, relationship concerns, anxiety, stress, low mood, trauma, and habit or behaviour change. Counselling is also available for those seeking personal growth or greater self-understanding.

  • You can get started by getting in touch via the contact form or email. I offer a free 15-minute discovery call so you can get a feel for me, ask questions, and see whether counselling feels like the right fit. If you decide to proceed, we can then arrange an initial session.

  • Alongside professional training and ethical practice, I bring a raw, relatable, and human approach to counselling. I work in a calm, grounded way, with room for honesty, warmth, and the occasional bit of humour. Therapy here is thoughtful and real, a space where you don’t have to perform, pretend, or have it all together to do meaningful work.
