Compassionate and supportive counselling.
For adults (18+) in Guildford, Surrey, and online.
Welcoming you to a space where you can explore what feels difficult at your own pace, without pressure or judgement. Working to help you feel heard, understood, and supported as you navigate what is happening in your life.
Your enquiries are welcome.
I work with people who feel overwhelmed by life, are struggling with self-esteem and confidence, or are trying to find out who they are and what they value outside of the expectations of others.
Counselling can be a place to unpack what you’re carrying when it feels too heavy, and to begin to work out what you don’t need to carry at all.
Along side you in bereavement and loss.
Grieving is a natural and necessary process, but it is not easy. Grief deserves time, honesty, and space, and there is no right or wrong way to experience it. Loss can take many forms. Whether you are anticipating grief, newly bereaved, or many years on from a loss, your feelings matter.

I would like to hear from you.
Whilst it can sometimes feel daunting reaching out for counselling, I hope that my down to earth, friendly approach helps you feel comfortable to be yourself. With a strong belief in the importance of the relationship between us, I welcome you to book in an exploratory call, giving us a chance to decide whether working together feels right.

Working with me.
I enjoy my work and have a genuine care about you as my client. You’ll be met with warmth, honesty and curiosity. I believe that the relationship
between us is an important part of the work, and that having a good rapport and feeling comfortable with your counsellor really matters.
At its very simplest, counselling is a conversation. But unlike talking to friends and family, counselling offers a unique relationship, free from judgement and without being told what to do, offered solutions or given a way to ‘fix’ things.
Your story will be heard from your perspective, giving you space to make sense of your own experience. There’s space for all of you here - the things that might be difficult to say out loud, the emotions, and the parts that might feel messy or complicated. There’s space for humour too; we might laugh, you might cry, and sometimes there’ll be silence when it feels important for you to sit with and explore your own thoughts.
I’ll ask questions, reflect back what I’m hearing and help you explore what feels important. But our sessions will be led by what you feel you need to bring.
Counselling isn't just about what's feeling difficult for you; it's a place for the whole of your experience, including progress, humour, relief and things that are going well. We'll notice the small steps, the changes, the moments when something starts to feel a little easier, and the things you’re proud of.
Sessions are £60 and last for 50 minutes. I suggest weekly sessions as we establish our work together, but we’ll regularly review how things are going for you and what feels right as we go.
