Counselling for Adults
Counselling in a safe, supportive space
Sometimes life leaves us feeling lost, overwhelmed, or disconnected from ourselves. You might be struggling with difficult experiences, relationships, loss, or the pressure of keeping everything going, and find yourself wondering who you are or what you really want from life.
Counselling offers space to explore what's happening, understand yourself more deeply, and discover who you are beneath the expectations, experiences, and self-doubt. I'll work alongside you, with empathy and genuine curiosity, as you find your own way forward.
Breathwork and nervous system support
Alongside my counselling training, I've completed the Breathing for Calm course with Nicola Pott. Where appropriate, and always with your consent, I may introduce gentle breath awareness to support grounding and help you feel steadier during moments of anxiety or overwhelm. This is always optional, and we'll work in a way that feels comfortable for you.
What to Expect from Counselling Sessions
Safe, Non-Judgemental Support to Help You Heal and Grow
Your introductory call
An introductory call is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and explore whether working together feels right for you. We'll talk a little about what's brought you to counselling, what you're hoping for, and any questions you may have. I'll explain how I work and what you can expect from counselling with me. There's no pressure to make a decision. It's simply a chance for us to talk and see whether it feels like a good fit.
What Happens Next?
Ongoing support for you
If you decide to begin counselling, there's nothing you need to prepare. Each session is an opportunity to bring whatever feels important to you, and we'll explore things at your pace.
I generally work with clients weekly, particularly when we're beginning our work together, as regular sessions can help develop continuity in the counselling relationship. Fortnightly sessions may also be possible where this better suits your circumstances. As counselling progresses, we can review together what feels appropriate for you.
There is no set number of sessions. The length of our work will depend on your individual needs and what you hope to gain from counselling.
Over time, through being consistently heard and supported, you may begin to notice small but meaningful changes, such as:
feeling more grounded or settled; greater understanding of your thoughts and emotions; feeling less alone with what you are carrying; increased awareness of patterns in relationships or behaviour; a stronger sense of connection to yourself and your needs.
Change tends to unfold gradually, rather than all at once
