You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from counselling.
Many people come to therapy because they're feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious or stuck. Others simply want a space to understand themselves better, improve their relationships or make sense of a difficult life experience.
If something doesn't feel quite right, counselling can help you explore what's going on and find a way forward.
-
Yes.
Burnout is about far more than feeling tired. It can affect your emotions, relationships, confidence, motivation and overall wellbeing.
Together we'll explore what's contributed to your burnout, understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck and work towards a healthier, more sustainable way of living.
-
Yes.
Alongside my work with adults, I also support children and young people aged 10–17 who are struggling with anxiety, overwhelming emotions, low self-esteem or life changes.
I offer a calm, creative and supportive space where young people can explore what's going on at their own pace.
Although my practice now specialises in adult burnout and overwhelm, I continue to welcome enquiries from families looking for support for their child.
-
Yes.
I offer both online counselling across the UK and face-to-face sessions from my practice in Burntwood, Staffordshire.
Some people enjoy the convenience of online therapy, while others prefer meeting in person. Together we can decide what works best for you.
-
The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another.
We'll explore what has brought you to counselling, what you'd like support with and any questions you may have about the process.
There's no pressure to share everything straight away. We work at your pace.
-
How many counselling sessions will I need?
There isn't a set number.
Some people come for short-term support around a specific issue, while others find longer-term therapy more helpful.
We'll regularly review how things are going and make decisions together about what feels right for you.
-
Confidentiality is a fundamental part of counselling.
What we discuss stays between us, with a small number of legal and ethical exceptions that I'll explain during our first session.
If you have any questions about confidentiality, I'm always happy to talk them through.
-
Yes.
I provide clinical supervision for qualified counsellors, trainee counsellors and other professionals working in helping roles.
Supervision is available online.
-
Absolutely.
Supporting trainee counsellors is something I'm particularly passionate about.
I offer supervision throughout placement and training, providing a supportive space to develop confidence, reflect on client work and grow into the therapist you want to become.
You can find more information on my Trainee Counsellors page.

FAQs.
Questions you might be asking yourself...
Sometimes the hardest questions aren't about counselling they're the ones we quietly ask ourselves. If any of these feel familiar, I hope you'll know you're not alone.
"Am I overreacting?"
Probably not.
Many people minimise what they're going through because they compare themselves to others or believe they should just "get on with it". If something is affecting your wellbeing, your relationships or your day-to-day life, it's important. You don't have to wait until things feel unbearable before asking for support.
"Shouldn't I be able to cope on my own?"
We often tell ourselves we should be stronger, more resilient or able to handle everything ourselves.
The reality is that we're not meant to carry life's challenges alone. Reaching out for support isn't a sign that you've failed—it's often the first step towards feeling more like yourself again.
"What if I don't know what to say?"
You don't need to prepare for counselling or have the right words.
Many people arrive saying, "I don't really know where to start," and that's perfectly okay. We'll begin wherever feels comfortable, and together we'll make sense of what's been going on.
"Is my problem big enough for counselling?"
There's no such thing as a problem that's "too small."
Counselling isn't only for people in crisis. Many people come because they're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, exhausted or simply want to understand themselves better.
If something matters to you, it matters.
"Will you think I'm weak?"
Not at all.
One of the things I often notice is how hard people have been trying to cope before they reach out. Seeking counselling isn't a sign of weakness—it's often a sign that you've been carrying too much for too long.
"What if I cry?"
Then we'll simply let the tears come.
Tears don't need explaining or apologising for. They can be a natural response to finally feeling safe enough to let some of the weight you've been carrying begin to lift.
"What if I don't cry?"
That's okay too.
There is no right or wrong way to be in counselling. Some people cry, some laugh, some sit quietly while they gather their thoughts. However you show up is enough.
"What if counselling doesn't work for me?"
It's completely understandable to wonder this, especially if you've never had counselling before or if you've tried therapy in the past.
The relationship between you and your counsellor is one of the most important parts of the process. My hope is that you'll feel heard, understood and able to work at a pace that feels right for you. If you have questions or concerns at any stage, we'll talk about them together.
"What if this is just who I am now?"
When you've been living with burnout, anxiety or overwhelm for a long time, it can begin to feel like this is simply who you've become.
But the exhausted, overwhelmed version of you isn't the whole story. With the right support, it's possible to understand what's happened, reconnect with yourself and begin moving towards a life that feels calmer, more balanced and more like your own again.
