About Me
I believe every person has a story to tell, an inner narrative that can knowingly or unknowingly shape our lives.
Sometimes that story feels coherent and hopeful. At other times it can become shaped by loss, anxiety, difficult relationships, or experiences that leave us feeling stuck in roles we no longer recognise or want to occupy.
As an Integrative counsellor with a Person-Centred foundation, I see therapy as an opportunity to explore that story together. Every person’s experience is unique, so rather than following a single therapeutic model, I draw on a range of different approaches to meet your individual needs. My role is to offer a collaborative space where we can work at a pace that feels right for you.
I work with individual clients aged 16 and above, supporting them through a variety of challenges – from everyday difficulties in relationships or work, to anxiety, depression, bereavement and major life transitions. I also work with clients who are exploring questions around meaning and purpose, spirituality, difference and diversity, or who find themselves asking deeper questions about who they are and how they want to live.
Alongside my counselling training, I have a longstanding interest in the stories we tell ourselves and the roles we come to inhabit throughout our lives. My background in filmmaking sparked a fascination with narrative, symbolism and the ways we create meaning from our experiences. I have found that when we begin to understand the stories we have inherited, the roles we have learned to play, and the beliefs that have shaped us, new possibilities for growth and change often emerge.
I currently offer online or phone counselling sessions only. Face-to-face counselling sessions will be available from my counselling room in Fleet, Hampshire, from August 2026.

Reflections: The Myth of the Level Playing Field
While doing research for this reflection, I came across the idea of ‘Scaffolding’. The idea is that some of us get to start life – or move through life – with certain Scaffolding in place that makes it easier for us to achieve success or navigate any difficulties that may come our way. This Scaffolding…
