Support with addiction, trauma, abuse and the difficult life experiences that are hard to carry on your own. Sessions are available in person, online, by telephone or outdoors, with a BACP-registered counsellor.
A safe space to talk, understand and heal.
Some things are hard to say out loud. Maybe it’s a drinking habit that has quietly taken over. Maybe it’s something that happened years ago and still shows up in your sleep, your relationships or your mood. Or maybe you can’t name it yet, you only know that things don’t feel right.
You are welcome here either way.
I’m a BACP-registered counsellor, and I work in a person-centred way. That means I won’t tell you what to do or hand you a list of rules. I believe you already hold more of the answers than you realise. My job is to listen properly, stay beside you, and help you find them at a pace that feels manageable.
Nothing is too big, too small or too messy to bring. Whatever you share stays in a confidential, judgement-free space.
Not everyone feels comfortable sitting in a counselling room, and that’s fine. Counselling works best when it fits your life, so there are four ways to meet.
Some conversations feel easier face to face. In-person counselling gives you a quiet, private room, unhurried time and someone fully present with you. For many people dealing with addiction or trauma, simply being heard in the same room can ease a lot of the weight.
Online counselling lets you speak from home, which can be a relief if travel is difficult, your schedule is tight or leaving the house feels like too much right now. All you need is a private space and a steady connection. The quality of the conversation stays the same.
Some people find it easier to talk when they aren’t being looked at. Telephone counselling is simple, flexible and low-pressure. It suits you if video feels exposing or if you just want to talk without any fuss.

Getting in touch can feel like the hardest part. Here is what actually happens, so there are no surprises.
Tell us a little about what you’re going through no pressure, no judgment.
We’ll arrange a free 15-minute introduction call. It’s a chance to talk through what’s brought you here.
Together we’ll decide whether in-person, online, telephone or walk and talk sessions suit you best, and begin working with a BACP-registered.
As we go, we’ll check in regularly on how things are feeling and what’s changing. If something isn’t working, we adjust.
Every testimonial is shared voluntarily and anonymously. These are real words from real people who took the brave step toward healing.
Person-centred counselling is a talking therapy built on the belief that you are the expert on your own life. Your counsellor offers empathy, honesty and acceptance rather than advice or instructions. Within that trusting relationship, you can explore what’s troubling you and find your own direction.
Yes. Counselling gives you a space to understand why you turn to alcohol or drugs, what sits underneath the habit and how to build healthier ways of coping. If you are physically dependent on alcohol, speak to your GP before cutting down suddenly, as withdrawal can be dangerous. Counselling can run alongside medical support.
You might benefit if past experiences still affect your present, through flashbacks, anxiety, low mood, trouble sleeping, difficulty trusting people or feeling emotionally numb. You don’t need a diagnosis or a “serious enough” story. If something from your past keeps getting in the way, it’s worth talking about.
Yes. Counselling is a confidential space, and what you share stays between us. As a BACP-registered counsellor I work to professional ethical standards. The only exceptions are rare situations where there is a serious risk of harm to you or someone else, and I would always explain this to you at the start.
Walk and talk therapy is counselling held outdoors while we walk at a comfortable pace. The movement and fresh air can help you relax and open up more easily than sitting in a room. It follows the same confidential, person-centred approach as any other session.
Many people find online counselling just as helpful as face-to-face sessions. What matters most is the relationship between you and your counsellor, and that can develop well over video or phone. The best format is the one where you feel comfortable enough to be honest.
