A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME

For much of my life, anxiety was an undercurrent I didn’t have a name for – I thought i was just DIFFERENT and this “THING” WAS A part of who I was. Episodes of depression and struggles to process events from my YOUNGER YEARS shaped patterns that followed me into adulthood. It wasn’t until my late TWENTIEs that I began to understand what I was experiencing and started to meet other people who expressed feeling similarly. Then, in the space of six months during a global pandemic, I lost my dad, was made redundant, and went through a difficult breakup. This period of time forced me to confront everything I had been carrying, and in seeking help, I began a deep journey of self-work. WALking That path led me to study psychotherapy, not just to continue my own healing but to help others navigate their own struggles too.

Before this venture, I worked in the creative world, running my own photography business – something I still do alongside my work as a COUNSELLOR. I also use my creative background to assist in the therapeutic process, offering photography walks and nature therapy. 

My experiences have shaped the way I practice, offering a compassionate and understanding space for those who, like me, are learning to make sense of their stories and become the absolute best version of themselves. It’s my mission to create a community where each person can find a compassionate, fitting therapeutic path and a place to feel seen, respected, and empowered.
