Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or carrying more than you can manage alone?

Counselling offers a confidential, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and be truly heard.

I provide professional counselling support for:
• Depression – when life feels heavy, draining, or hopeless
• Anxiety – constant worry, panic, or feeling on edge
• Grief and loss – coping with bereavement, separation, or life changes
• Trauma – past experiences that continue to affect the present
• Men’s mental health – supporting men to talk openly and break the stigma
• Long-term illness – emotional support alongside ongoing physical conditions

With extensive experience and a down-to-earth approach, I work at your pace, focusing on what matters to you. There is no pressure, no judgement, and no expectation to “have it all figured out.”

Taking the first step can feel hard — but you don’t have to do it alone.

Male Su***de: Breaking the Silence to Save Lives

Male su***de remains one of the most pressing and preventable public health challenges in the UK. Despite growing awareness around mental health, men continue to account for around three-quarters of all su***de deaths. Behind these statistics are fathers, sons, brothers, colleagues and friends—many of whom felt unable to ask for help.

Societal expectations play a significant role. Men are often conditioned to be self-reliant, emotionally controlled and resilient at all costs. While strength is valued, this narrow definition can discourage men from expressing vulnerability or seeking support when they are struggling. Emotional distress is too often internalised until it reaches crisis point.

Workplace pressures, relationship breakdowns, financial stress and social isolation can further compound these difficulties. Yet many men still perceive reaching out as a failure rather than a proactive step towards wellbeing. This stigma must be challenged—openly and consistently.

Talking about male su***de is not about assigning blame; it is about understanding risk factors, improving early intervention and creating environments where men feel safe to speak. Simple actions—checking in with colleagues, normalising conversations about mental health, and signposting support—can make a meaningful difference.

Prevention starts with connection. By encouraging open dialogue, promoting accessible support services and redefining what strength truly looks like, we can help reduce male su***de and ensure fewer men suffer in silence.

If we want change, we must keep the conversation going—because talking really can save lives.

Some days don’t ask for strength.
They ask for softness.
For the days when you’re tired for no clear reason… when smiling feels like effort… when you’re holding it together quietly and hoping no one notices the cracks—this is for you. You don’t have to explain your mood. You don’t have to fix everything today. You don’t even have to be okay right now. Just breathe. Just exist. Just take the hug being offered with no questions asked.
Even the gentlest souls, like Eeyore, remind us that showing up as you are is enough. Arms open. Heart open. No expectations. Take this hug now… or save it for later—whenever you need it most. And if this found you at the right moment, maybe it’s meant to be passed along to someone else who’s quietly struggling too. 🤍

Goodbyes 🕊️

"Why do goodbyes hurt so much?" asked the fox.
"Because they remind us how wonderful something was," replied the moon, "even if we didn’t realise it at the time."

With love,

The Benefits of Telephone and Video Counselling Sessions

Telephone and video counselling sessions offer a flexible and accessible way to receive professional support, making therapy easier to fit into modern life. For many people, busy schedules, mobility issues, anxiety, or distance can be barriers to attending face-to-face sessions. Remote counselling helps remove these obstacles while still providing effective, confidential support.

One of the key benefits of telephone and video counselling is convenience. Sessions can take place from the comfort of your own home, saving travel time and reducing stress. This can be especially helpful for those juggling work, family commitments, or living in rural areas where local services may be limited.

Telephone and video counselling can also feel less intimidating. Some clients find it easier to open up when they are in familiar surroundings, which can lead to more honest and productive conversations. For individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem, this sense of safety can be particularly valuable.

Importantly, remote counselling is just as effective as in-person therapy for many issues, including stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship difficulties. Sessions remain confidential, professional, and tailored to your individual needs.

Telephone and video counselling provide a modern, supportive, and flexible approach to mental health care, ensuring help is accessible when and where you need it most.

Grief isn’t loud.
It’s the silence that never leaves.
