Psychotherapeutic Counselling

If you are facing family issues or challenges in relationships with children, friends, colleagues or romantic partnerships. Experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem or low confidence.  Or experiencing a transition in your personal or work life my aim is to support and guide you.

I provide a safe, warm and empathetic environment where you can freely share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgement.  My focus is on making you feel heard, supported, and empowered every step of the way in helping you navigate the challenges you face.

Hypnotherapy for Change

Providing a calm and supportive space, you can reconnect with your strengths and create meaningful, lasting change. Using gentle, evidence‑informed techniques, I will guide you into a relaxed, focused state that allows your mind to work through challenges with greater clarity and ease.

Whether you’re seeking relief from stress, support in breaking unwanted habits, removing obstacles, or cultivating a deeper sense of confidence and wellbeing, I’m here to help you move forward with balance, resilience, and renewed purpose. I also offer hypnobirthing to support an empowering birth experience for mums to be.
