About me

I’m an experienced counsellor and coach. I am down-to-earth, open-minded here to support you in exploring what truly matters to you. Maybe you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure why things don’t feel quite right. You might be navigating challenges in relationships, dealing with anxiety or low moods, or simply trying to make sense of your current path. Difficult emotions like stress and anxiety can leave us feeling frozen, unsure of how to move forward. But you don’t have to go through it alone. Reaching out for support is a big, courageous step—and I’m here to walk alongside you, at a pace that feels safe and right for you. I’m experienced in offering culturally sensitive support that respects each person’s background, identity, and story. I use a blend of counselling and coaching, known as the Personal Consultancy Model. This means we’ll not only explore your emotions and experiences, but also focus on practical steps to help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and intention. Here is how I can support you: Easing anxiety and stress Navigating low mood and depression Building confidence and self-worth Strengthening relationships and communication Encouraging personal growth and emotional wellbeing As both a counsellor and coach, I offer a calm, supportive space where you can talk openly and feel truly heard. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts and feelings, and work toward solutions that fit your life and values. Whether you’re looking to feel more grounded, improve your relationships, or gain clarity, I’ll help you develop tools to support lasting change. If you’re ready to take that first step, I’m here. Let’s work together to help you feel more like you again.
