Whatever brings you here, you are very welcome.
I offer professional counselling in Plymouth and online therapy across the UK for adults, couples, and young people.
As an integrative counsellor, I draw on a range of approaches, tailoring therapy to you rather than expecting you to fit a single model.
With over 20 years’ experience working in private practice, the NHS, Relate, and educational settings, I provide a calm, supportive space to help you through life’s challenges.
While support from friends and family can help during overwhelming moments, counselling offers something different - a confidential space where you can press pause and breathe - giving you the chance to reflect and to be heard.
Therapy can support you in understanding your thoughts and feelings, working through difficulties and finding a way forward that feels right for you.
I support clients with:
Anxiety & stress • Depression • Relationship issues • Family difficulties • Low self-esteem • Trauma & abuse • Bereavement & loss • Identity & life transitions • Anger • Addictions • OCD • Panic attacks • Self-harm • Workplace or school challenges
Often, what we experience on the surface connects to deeper patterns. Counselling can help you gently explore these and create meaningful change.
If you’re going through a difficult time, support is available - and change is possible. Taking that first step can make all the difference.
Not everyone comes to counselling with a clear or specific problem.
You may simply feel that something isn’t quite right, or want to understand yourself more deeply—your patterns, your relationships, or how you respond to the world around you.
Counselling can offer the space to reflect, gain insight, and begin to live more in line with your values.
My work blends humanistic approaches, such as Gestalt, with practical, evidence-based methods including Solution-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). This allows our work together to be both reflective and forward-looking.
Rooted in person-centred values,
I see the therapeutic relationship as central to the process. I aim to offer a warm, trusting, and non-judgemental space where you feel safe, heard, and able to speak openly.
If it feels like the right time, I look forward to working with you.

I offer clinical supervision for counsellors and therapists in Plymouth and online across the UK. I welcome counsellors from all modalities and levels of experience.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in building a trusting supervisory relationship. I work integratively and draw on a range of therapeutic models, including the Seven-Eyed Model, to explore client work from multiple perspectives.
Supervision provides a reflective space to deepen understanding, develop your skills, and support ethical, effective practice. Together, we can explore client work, strengthen your confidence, and bring awareness to both strengths and blind spots.
I have extensive experience supporting counsellors working in private practice, healthcare, and educational settings. I also provide supervision for school staff and Child Protection Teams, helping to process complex and emotionally demanding work, support wellbeing, and reduce the risk of burnout or vicarious trauma.
It is my aim to help you become more aware of your own resources & strengths, as well as encouraging mindfulness of any potential blind-spots.
Awareness of risk, and giving importance to self care, are also important aspects of supervision. I offer space in which to explore any issues arising from your counselling practice and at times you may wish to explore how your personal life may be interacting with your professional life.
As well as working with individuals and couples, I have extensive experience of establishing counselling services in schools offering therapy & wellbeing groups to children & teens. This experience enables me to offer effective support to counsellors who are also working in educational settings.
If you'd like to find out more about the supervision I offer, please get in touch for an informal discussion of how we could work together..

As a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I follow their professional and ethical framework. I am fully qualified, insured, and hold an enhanced DBS certificate.
Everything you share in counselling is treated as confidential. Confidentiality would only be broken if there is a serious risk of harm to you or others. We will discuss this clearly in our first session so you feel safe and informed.
Whatever you’re facing—no matter how big or small—it matters. You will be met with care, respect, and understanding.
My aim is to help you make sense of your experiences, build self-awareness, and develop greater self-compassion, so you can move forward with confidence.
You are free to choose the number of sessions that feel right for you—whether short-term support or longer-term therapy. Even one session can be a valuable first step.
I offer counselling for individuals, couples, children, and adolescents, both in person in Plymouth and online across the UK.

Psychotherapy for Depression and Anxiety.
Depression, low mood, anxiety, trauma and grief are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Many experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances.
While a certain amount of anxiety is a normal part of life, sometimes thoughts and emotions seem to get stuck in our brain and we appear to be unwittingly reinforcing the traumatic memories by travelling over and over those same neural pathways.
Neuroscientists, whose area of study includes the brain and emotions, say that "when you can label a feeling - be it happy, sad or angry - it loses some of its charge and you don't feel so overwhelmed by it". (Sarah Rudell Beach).
Excessive anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. Counselling can help you create new pathways, overcome these symptoms, and guide you through the process of grief and healing. (For crisis situations please access the ‘About Counselling’ tab below, where you will discover helpful links and contacts).

I offer a supportive space to explore many issues including relationship issues. It can be useful to have a neutral sounding board to explore choices and options.
A recent article in Therapy Today says that all relationships will include conflict at some point; it’s how you navigate that conflict that really matters. “Relationship counselling reminded us that ‘love’ is a verb, and we have to practise it every day.”
Counselling can be beneficial to those seeking to improve communication and strengthen their emotional connections to others.
Unhealthy patterns can be overcome (sometimes surprisingly quickly); and making unconscious behaviour conscious can be transformational to any relationship. If you're feeling stuck, or angry, or just plain frustrated, then getting a fresh perspective and seeing how things connect can really help.
Some also seek Psychotherapy to get insight into a happier way of relating to themselves.

Sometimes just talking is enough and sometimes getting creative is more helpful in facilitating communication and letting go of worries.
I enjoy the spontaneity of working therapeutically with children and young people; and have considerable experience working along side CAMHS. I've set up counselling services across two clusters in Leeds (in primary and secondary schools) on behalf of Relate; I‘ve worked as a University Counsellor at Leeds Beckett and recently established a successful Wellbeing Service in a large Harrogate high school on behalf of Wellspring. And currently I am offering counselling to young people and Staff Supervision to teachers in Schools in Plymouth and Cornwall on behalf of Psychology Associates. www.psychologyassociates.org.uk
I have many effective counselling tools; both practical and creative, that young people usually find most helpful. Counselling can be an enjoyable and safe way to express their concerns in order to move towards a happier healthier state.
