Work with Me

Online Person-Centred Counselling (UK)

I work alongside you to slow things down, rather than rushing to figure everything out. In our online counselling sessions, you don’t have to hold it all together or explain things perfectly. You can arrive as you are, and we make sense of things together at a pace that feels manageable.

You might be here because something inside you feels heavy, unclear, or difficult to manage on your own anymore.

Not necessarily a crisis, but a sense that you’re carrying too much, overthinking too often, or finding it harder to stay connected to yourself in the way you’d like.

What I can help with

I work with adults who may be experiencing:

Overwhelm, emotional intensity, or feeling “full” mentally or emotionally
Anxiety, overthinking, or difficulty switching off
Repeating patterns in relationships or self-criticism
Burnout, stress, or feeling like they are constantly managing themselves
The emotional impact of long-term health conditions or fatigue
Difficulty resting, setting boundaries, or trusting their own needs

Many people I work with describe feeling like they are “functioning, but not okay inside.”

What sessions are like

My approach is person-centred, which means the focus is on your experience, not a fixed method or agenda

In practice, this means:

No rush or pressure: go at your pace
You don’t need to arrive with the “right” words
You choose what is important
No judgment: I explore your thoughts, feelings, and body responses with curiosity

Over time, counselling can help things feel less tangled and more understandable. Not by forcing change, but by creating space for you to reconnect with yourself in a steadier way.

Some sessions are about talking things through. Others may be quieter, reflective, or focused on noticing what’s happening in the present moment.

If this the kind of space you are looking for get in touch.

My approach

The most important part of therapy is the relationship: feeling understood, safe, and able to be yourself. That’s why my work is grounded in the person-centred approach, developed by Carl Rogers.

This means I offer:

Empathy: I use deep listening to understand your experience
Authenticity: I offer a genuine, human presence in the room
Unconditional positive regard: I give acceptance without judgment

I don’t see you as something to fix.

Instead, I see therapy as a way to understand yourself more deeply and allow change to happen in its own way and time. You do not to do anything in advance.

When therapy hasn’t worked in the past

Unfortunately, not everyone has found therapy helpful; this can leave you feeling misunderstood.

You might have been left with the sense that you were:

hard to read
not engaging “in the right way”
or that therapy simply didn’t work for you

In my experience, this is often less about resistance, and more about fit.

We all process thoughts, emotions, and experiences differently. When therapy moves too quickly, relies heavily on verbal expression, or feels like there is a “right way” to do it, it can be difficult to feel fully met.

My approach is to create a space where you don’t have to perform, explain everything clearly, or keep up with a particular pace.

Instead, we work with what’s there, as it is — allowing understanding and change to develop more naturally over time.
