You do not have to work it out alone
“Therapy can offer a place to slow down, make sense of what is happening, and discover new ways of relating to yourself and others.”
About me
A genuine, accepting relationship at the heart of therapy.
I am a qualified humanistic counsellor based in Chipping Norton. My approach is grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own experience, and that meaningful change can grow from being met with empathy, honesty and respect.
I will not judge, diagnose or tell you how to live. Instead, we will work collaboratively, at a pace that feels manageable, to explore the experiences, feelings and patterns that matter to you.

How I can help
Support shaped around you.
Counselling can be helpful when life feels difficult, confusing or disconnected — whether there is a clear reason or not.
Low mood & self-worth
Exploring harsh self-criticism, shame, hopelessness and what may be getting in the way of feeling fully alive.
Relationships & boundaries
Understanding recurring patterns, communication difficulties, people-pleasing, anger or disconnection.
Loss & life transitions
Support through bereavement, separation, identity changes, retirement, work changes or uncertain next chapters.
Past experiences
Gently making sense of experiences that continue to affect how you feel, respond and relate today.
Personal exploration
A reflective space for greater self-awareness, confidence, meaning and a stronger sense of choice.

Ask about availabilityFrequently asked questions
A few things you may be wondering.
Do I need to know exactly what I want to talk about?
No. Many people begin with a general sense that something is not right. We can start there and explore together.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies. Some people choose short-term work around a particular issue, while others value longer-term exploration. We can review this together as therapy develops.
Is counselling confidential?
Yes, within clear professional and legal limits. I will explain confidentiality fully before we begin and answer any questions you have.
What does MBACP mean?
It means I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and work within its professional ethical framework.
