You don’t need to have it all figured out.

It’s okay to pause. To take stock. To wonder: is this really the life I want?

Maybe things look fine on the outside — career, relationships, plans. But underneath, something feels... off. Maybe you're questioning what success means to you. Maybe you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or quietly overwhelmed. Or maybe you’re starting to sense that some of the choices you've made were about surviving, not thriving.

​

If you are trying to make space for you — your voice, your needs, your next chapter — you’re in the right place.

​

I’m a BACP-registered integrative counsellor, and I offer a warm, supportive space where you can slow down and reconnect with what really matters to you. Together, we’ll explore what’s working, what’s not, and what might need to shift — gently, and at your own pace.

My approach weaves in self-compassion, which means learning to meet yourself with curiosity and kindness, not criticism. You don’t need to be “broken” to benefit from therapy. You just need to want something more.
