“It is the relationship that heals”
— Irvin Yalom
About me
Having been through my own counselling journey, I know personally how valuable it can be to have a safe and trusted professional alongside you when life feels difficult or overwhelming.
My own experience of counselling helped me navigate challenging circumstances and difficult life experiences. It gave me the opportunity to explore what I was going through, understand myself more deeply and find a way forward. It was this positive experience that inspired me to train as a counsellor and, ultimately, to develop a passion for helping others feel heard, accepted and empowered to find their own way forward.
I believe that meaningful change can take place within a trusting, warm and accepting therapeutic relationship – one that is free from judgement and grounded in empathy, compassion and respect. As a BACP Accredited Counsellor and Humanistic therapist, I aim to offer this kind of space to every client I work with.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, low mood, difficult life circumstances, life transitions, neurodiversity -related struggles, low self-esteem or simply feeling stuck and unsure about what comes next, you do not have to figure out of everything on your own.
My role is not to tell you what you should do or how you should be. Instead, I will work alongside you, at your own pace, to help you explore what is happening in your life, understand yourself more fully and discover what feels right for you.
I work with adults and young adults aged 18+ and I am based in Farnham, Surrey. I offer online counselling via Zoom or FaceTime to clients across the UK. I welcome people from all backgrounds and aim to create a therapeutic relationship where you can feel comfortable being your true self and talking openly about whatever is bringing you to counselling.
About counselling
Counselling is a form of talking therapy that provides a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about the thoughts, feelings, experiences or difficulties that are troubling you.
Sometimes we may know exactly what is wrong; at other times, we may simply feel unhappy, anxious, overwhelmed or stuck without fully understanding why. Counselling can give you the time and space to slow down, reflect and begin to make sense of what you are experiencing.
Together, we can explore your past and present experiences, emotions, relationships and patterns of thinking or behaviour. The aim is to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and what may be affecting your wellbeing.
As a Humanistic counsellor, I believe that you are the expert on your own life. I will not give you a to-do-list or tell you what choices to make. Instead, I will listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions and support you in exploring your experiences and finding your own answers.
Through this process, you may gradually develop greater self-awareness, self-acceptance and confidence in your ability to cope with life's challenges. Counselling can also help you develop a stronger sense of who you are, what you need and what matters to you, enabling you to make choices that feel more authentic and meaningful to you.
Most importantly, counselling offers you a space that is dedicated entirely to you – a place where you can be actively heard without judgement and explore what you need in order to move forward.
