Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or stress, facing relationship challenges, struggling with school or exam pressures, or simply longing for greater ease in your life, counselling can offer a way forward. I provide counselling for adults and young people aged 14 and over in Richmond and online, alongside specialist courses designed to support emotional wellbeing and resilience. However you choose to begin, this is your space — and we’ll work together in a way that feels right for you.
Counselling offers a confidential, supportive space where you can explore the difficulties you’re facing and begin to reconnect with yourself. You may be struggling with stress, anxiety, burnout, relationship problems, low mood, or major life changes such as starting a new career, becoming a parent, or entering retirement. Sometimes the challenges are clear; sometimes it’s simply a feeling of being stuck or overwhelmed without knowing exactly why.
My approach is person-centred at its heart, meaning that we work collaboratively, at your pace, and in a way that feels right for you. Where helpful, I integrate practical tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to support you in managing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. Throughout, the focus is on helping you make sense of your experiences, building emotional resilience, and unfolding the inner strengths you already have.
Young people today face a complex and often overwhelming world, and counselling can offer a safe, confidential space to navigate it. I support young people, including those going through secondary, further or higher education, who are dealing with school and exam stress, social and peer pressure, identity and self-esteem issues, family changes, and the impact of social media on their mental health. Some young people may be experiencing low mood, anxiety, or simply a sense of not fitting in.
Sessions are flexible and creative, allowing young people to express themselves not only through conversation but, if they wish, through drawing or other forms of expression. I work closely with the young person to build trust and openness, and where appropriate, I maintain a collaborative relationship with parents, while always respecting the young person's confidentiality and autonomy.
One-to-one online courses, to help you learn effective tools and strategies to better manage your mental health and well-being. These personalised psychoeducational courses are designed to equip you with knowledge and skills to manage your emotions, cope with specific challenges, and improve your relationships.
This course was inspired by the “Yoga Therapy for the Mind” course, designed by Heather Mason of the Minded Institute. This 8-week 1-1 online course is a comprehensive and evidence-based program designed specifically for those looking to reduce stress, anxiety and/or depression. Through gentle movement, breath work, mindfulness, and guided reflection, this course can help ease symptoms of stress and anxiety, support nervous system regulation, and build a deeper connection between mind and body. As it is a one-to-one course, I’ll tailor the programme to your needs and abilities.
Offered through Take Action Counselling, this 8-week course is designed for individuals who want to better understand their relationship patterns, build healthier emotional connections, and navigate dating or long-term partnerships with greater self-awareness and resilience. Whether you are recovering from relationship difficulties or seeking to create more fulfilling connections, this course offers practical tools and emotional support.
