I am an integrative counsellor based in Plymouth, offering counselling to adults both locally and online. I work with clients to help reconnect them with a more authentic sense of themselves and their lives. My approach is rooted in the person-centred tradition whilst also drawing upon relational and dialogical ways of working. Through open and collaborative dialogue, I support the awareness, understanding and expression of genuine, present-moment thoughts and feelings.
In my experience, meaningful change often begins not simply through insight alone, but through being met openly and thoughtfully within a genuine therapeutic relationship. When someone feels secure enough to speak freely, to explore their experience and to be fully themselves, new possibilities for understanding, growth and self-acceptance can gradually emerge — often in ways that are unexpected.
Counselling offers a rare opportunity to be met with steady, open attention. It is a process that supports our natural capacity for growth, encouraging us to loosen old patterns, beliefs or expectations that may no longer serve us. Through dialogue and reflection, we can begin to approach ourselves and others with greater clarity, compassion and understanding, returning to a fuller sense of ourselves as inherently valuable and deserving of warmth, acceptance and respect.

For as long as I have worked, I have been passionate about helping neurodivergent people feel understood and supported. I began my career teaching students with dyslexia in further education colleges and at H.M.P. Leicester, where I saw how much difference the right support can make. I went on to work as a dyslexia assessor and then a disability advisor at the University of Plymouth, helping students receive the support they needed to thrive. In 2019 I completed my Advanced Diploma in Counselling. Although I no longer offer counselling, this deepened the way I listen and work with people. I now work privately as a dyslexia assessor with Optimus Dyslexia Assessment Services and as a life coach.
As a life coach I am trained to help you identify what it is that you want to change or achieve and why. Together we will explore your values and strengths and set small manageable steps so that you reach your chosen goal. The journey, however, is as important as the destination. My aim is that along the way your self-understanding, self awareness and self-acceptance will all flourish.
You are very welcome to see me for life coaching whether or not you consider yourself neurodivergent. Everyone is welcome
