💛 121 Counselling

Why have counselling with me.

I'm not your average counsellor. My approach is person-centred: caring, non-judgemental, and built on the relationship between us, so you feel comfortable and safe working through whatever you're facing.

My approach

A relationship-first approach

I use my background in person-centred training to provide a caring, non-judgemental space. I believe the relationship between counsellor and client is the most important part of the work, and I'll use other modes of therapy too, whenever I feel they'll support your journey, so you always have the tools to decide what's right for you.

Person-centred

Sessions are shaped around you, not a script, so we work at your pace on what actually matters to you.

A safe, non-judgemental space

Whatever you bring into the room, you'll be met with warmth first. No judgement, no pressure.

Tailored, not one-size-fits-all

I'll draw on different therapeutic approaches where they'll genuinely help, so the work fits you.

Where I can help most

Body image, self-love & confidence

My area of expertise is working with women around body image, self-love and self-confidence. If you've spent years hating how you look or how you feel about yourself, come and find out how I can help empower you to be the best version of yourself.

Body Image

Working through years of a difficult relationship with how you look, at your own pace, without judgement.

Self-Love

Building a kinder, steadier relationship with yourself, one that doesn't depend on how you feel that day.

Self-Confidence

Finding the confidence that was there all along, and learning how to hold onto it.

Fat positive counselling

Freedom from diet culture

I am a fat positive counsellor, and I've helped many women leave diet culture behind and live a life free from restriction and rules. You can be the healthiest and happiest version of yourself that you've ever been.

Message me to ask how

I can't take away your struggles, but I can walk beside you and help you through them. I'll give you the safe space to work through what may be holding you back in life, whilst offering challenge when needed.
