Counselling, Coaching & Supervision

People come to me with many different stories.

 

Some are carrying grief or navigating change and burnout. Others want to understand themselves after years of feeling different.

 

Many are looking for space to pause, reflect and make sense of where they are now.

 

Stories shape how we understand ourselves and imagine what might come next. I believe they can continue to grow and change throughout our lives.

 

My work offers space to explore your story with curiosity, compassion and care. I respect different ways of thinking, feeling and experiencing the world.

 

Current availability

My counselling caseload is full, and I’m not currently accepting new therapy clients.

​

I’m studying for an MA in Autism at Sheffield Hallam University and training in clinical supervision.

 

I’ll share details of supervision training placements here when they become available.

 

Counselling

Humanistic counselling offers a compassionate space to explore what matters to you. We work together, at a pace that respects your needs.

 

My experience includes supporting adults with:

• Anxiety and self-esteem.

• Grief and loss.

• Relationships.

• Change and life transitions.

• Burnout.

• Identity and belonging.

• Experiences of autism and ADHD, particularly when recognised later in life.

 

For me, therapy is about understanding ourselves more fully. It can help us discover new ways of relating to our lives, our relationships and our own stories.

 

Positive psychology coaching

Coaching offers space to reflect on what matters to you and where you want to go next.

 

We might explore your strengths, values, hopes and possible next steps.

 

My coaching draws on positive psychology: the study of wellbeing and what helps people flourish.

 

It is grounded in compassion and respect for your experience. Growth rarely

follows a straight line.

 

Counselling and coaching can both explore the past, present and future. The focus depends on your needs and what we agree to work on together.

 

Clinical supervision

I’m currently undertaking formal training in clinical supervision.

 

After more than seventeen years in therapeutic practice, this feels like a natural next step.

 

I look forward to offering fellow practitioners space to:

• Reflect on their client work.

• Explore questions and challenges in practice.

• Develop professionally.

• Consider their own wellbeing and support needs.

 

As part of my training, I plan to offer a small number of supervision placements at a reduced training rate.

 

Details will be shared here when these placements become available. You’re welcome to get in touch to express an interest.

 

My approach

Across my work, I value:

• Respect for your experience and choices.

• Different ways of thinking, feeling and communicating.

• Compassion and curiosity.

• Exploring the stories that shape our sense of identity.

• Recognising strengths alongside difficulties.

• Time to reflect and consider new possibilities.

 

I believe people flourish when they feel seen, understood and accepted, with support to discover their own way forward.
