Individual counselling
Individual counselling offers a confidential space to talk openly about what’s going on, without needing to protect anyone else or hold yourself together.
People come for many reasons. Anxiety, stress, low mood, anger, grief, identity changes, addictive patterns, or simply a sense that something isn’t working the way it used to. Sometimes there’s a clear issue; sometimes there’s just a feeling that something needs attention.
Our work together is thoughtful and practical. We take time to understand what’s happening beneath the surface, how past experiences may be shaping the present, and what might help you feel steadier and less overwhelmed.
Counselling can help you:
Gain clarity about what you’re experiencing
Notice patterns in thinking, emotions, and relationships
Develop greater emotional resilience and self-trust
Find ways forward that feel realistic and sustainable
There’s no expectation to have the right words or a clear plan. We start where you are, and we go at a pace that feels right for you.
My Approach
I believe counselling works best when people feel safe, emotionally and relationally.
Safety creates the conditions for honesty, reflection, and change. Without it, people remain guarded and stuck.
My approach is calm, respectful, and practical. I listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and help you notice patterns in your thinking, your relationships, and your nervous system.
Anxiety is often less about fear and more about uncertainty. When uncertainty feels unsafe, we try to regain control through overthinking and overdoing, which only reinforces the sense that something is wrong.
Healing begins when the nervous system learns it can tolerate not knowing and still be okay.
I believe people already have the capacity for change. Counselling helps remove the obstacles that get in the way.
You don’t need a crisis to begin, just a sense that something could be better.
