A confidential & supportive space
With Katie
Sometimes life feels complicated. We might be struggling to make sense of our thoughts and feelings, navigating difficult experiences or simply feeling that something isn't quite right. Finding someone to talk to, without fear of judgement, can make a real difference.
Counselling offers a dedicated space to pause, explore what's going on and develop a deeper understanding of yourself. You don't need to have all the answers, know exactly what you want to talk about or even be able to put everything into words. You just need to come as you are.
Getting to know yourself
I believe counselling can help us better understand who we are, how we think and feel, and how our experiences shape the way we navigate the world.
Together, we can explore patterns in your thoughts, feelings and relationships, recognise your strengths and develop greater self-awareness and self-acceptance.
I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, including person-centred, Gestalt, attachment and psychodynamic ideas. Most importantly, I believe in treating everyone as an individual, with curiosity, compassion and without judgement.
A little about my approach
I'm a mum, educator and late-diagnosed neurodivergent person. My own experiences have helped me appreciate just how important it is to have a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood and accepted for who you are.
I'm friendly and down-to-earth, and I aim to create a safe, confidential and supportive environment where you can talk openly about whatever feels important to you.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to counselling. Our work together will be guided by you, your experiences and what you feel you need.

Taking the first step
Getting in touch about counselling can feel like a big step, particularly if you've never accessed support before.
You don't need to know exactly what to say or have everything figured out. If you're curious about counselling or would like to find out whether it might be right for you, I'd be very happy to hear from you.
You deserve a space where you can be yourself.
