Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Most of the time, we find ways to navigate life’s ups and downs, taking the rough with the smooth. We lean on family and friends, draw on our life experience, and tap into our inner resilience. Yet, there are moments when life feels overwhelming—when challenge after challenge leaves us exhausted and weighed down. During these times, it can feel impossible to manage on your own. Speaking with a qualified therapist can make a meaningful difference, offering support to help you regain balance and a sense of control. Finding the right counsellor, however, is an important part of that process.
As a person-centred counsellor, I offer a warm, gentle, and compassionate space where you can feel truly heard and supported. Using an integrative approach, I draw on a variety of counselling theories, including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Self-Compassion, and Transactional Analysis (TA). Together, we’ll explore which approaches best suit your unique needs.
In our first sessions, we’ll take the time to get to know each other and understand what has brought you here. This is your space to share at your own pace. Together, we’ll shape the direction of our work and set goals that reflect what matters most to you. As we move forward, we’ll pause to reflect on your progress, notice any shifts, and adjust our approach to support your ongoing healing. Typically, lasting change requires a minimum of six sessions, after which we can review progress and decide on next steps together.
Feeling safe and at ease with your counsellor is central to successful therapy. I am gentle, kind, and committed to understanding the root causes of your dissatisfaction or distress. With the right support and guidance, we all have the natural capacity to heal and reconnect with ourselves.
I trained at the Heartwood Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy at Dartington College in Devon, completing both a Level 3 Certificate and a Level 4 Advanced Diploma. My counselling experience spans a College of Further Education working with young adults aged 16–24, a hospice supporting clients up to 80+, and a busy NHS (National Health Service) GP practice seeing clients of all ages and a wide range of presentations. Alongside my formal training, I have practiced meditation and mindfulness for over 30 years and am a qualified Yoga teacher with the British Wheel of Yoga.

Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life changes, online therapy has been found to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most cases.
A major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether that is a video call, a phone session, live chat or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care.
Sessions are delivered by licensed professionals, and if a different fit is needed it is possible to switch therapists. For many people, online therapy offers a practical and effective option for getting support with everyday mental health challenges.
