Professional Counselling, Couples Therapy and Coaching
I offer counselling, couples therapy and coaching to help you navigate relationship difficulties, manage anxiety or stress, overcome overwhelm, and foster personal growth. My sessions create a safe and private space to explore thoughts and feelings, strengthen relationships, and work towards positive, meaningful change.
Gestalt Counselling
I offer personalised counselling sessions to support a variety of mental health and emotional challenges:
​
-
Depression - exploring underlying causes, understanding emotional patterns, and building practical coping strategies.
-
Anxiety - identifying triggers, learning calming and grounding techniques, and fostering resilience.
-
Stress - managing overwhelm, developing healthy routines, and strengthening emotional balance.
-
Relationship Challenges - improving communication, setting boundaries, and enhancing connection.
-
Life Transitions - navigating change, uncertainty, and personal growth with clarity and confidence.
​​
My approach is rooted in Gestalt therapy principles, focusing on awareness, self-discovery, and experiencing the present moment. Each session is tailored to your needs, ensuring you feel supported and heard.
Couples Therapy
I provide supportive couples therapy sessions designed to strengthen your relationship and create lasting change:
