Life can often leave us feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope. At times like these, we just need a safe
space where we can breathe and let out our emotions without feeling criticised, judged and alone. I can help
by providing that space where you can talk freely about whatever is troubling you. If you have feelings of
anxiety, low mood, or depression, I can support you and working together, I can provide you with the tools
to help you experience life in a more positive way.
You can be assured that I will offer a warm, safe and confidential space for you to be listened to. Together
we can explore what you would like to achieve from Counselling, whether it is an unexpected life change, a
problem that's causing you distress or perhaps that you are seeking self-improvement. I can offer
short- and long-term therapy, according to your needs.
ABOUT ME
a person-centred therapist
I am trained as a person-centred therapist, which simply means our sessions are all about you. I believe that
with the right support, the power to heal is already within you.
Every one of us is unique and we all experience things differently. Sometimes unexpected life events can affect
our health and well-being which can present challenges that are overwhelming. Together we will explore what
would be beneficial to you, in order to progress and change the things you want to.
My background is in secondary school education, and I have also volunteered for a faith based charity providing
counselling support services for young people and their families, teaching and support staff across schools in
Leeds.
