"Trust the process, even if it’s slow."

In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to want immediate results, especially when it comes to healing. I often see clients coming into sessions feeling frustrated because the change isn’t as obvious or as quick as they hoped. But here’s the truth: meaningful transformation takes time.

What you might not notice immediately, I often see — the small shifts in your thinking, the newfound awareness you’ve cultivated, the brave moments when you choose to express yourself. I’m here to encourage you, to point out these changes, and to celebrate each step, no matter how small. It’s in these tiny victories that the foundation of real, lasting change begins to take shape.

I will be with you throughout this journey, offering consistent support and understanding as we navigate the ups and downs together. Remember, every step forward is a step towards the life you desire.

If you’re feeling ready to embark on this journey, let’s connect! take the first step towards trusting your process today.

You’re not alone in this; change is within your reach. Let’s make it happen together!

"The hardest part of change is trusting you will rise."

I see it again and again in the therapy room — people who’ve tried therapy before elsewhere and left unconvinced, or those who want change but can’t yet imagine a different life. The real shift doesn’t start with insight alone; it starts with trust — trust that you are capable of healing, and trust that someone will hold the space for you while you learn to stand.

That’s where I come in. I’ll explain the process clearly, demystify the steps, and walk beside you through every stage. I won’t rush you or fix you — I’ll gently coax out your strengths, name the patterns keeping you stuck, and help you practice the small, brave moves that become lasting change. Together we’ll build the confidence you need to rise — and stay up.

If you’re ready to stop wondering “what if” and start choosing “what’s next,” I’m here, ready to support you.

You deserve to trust your own rising. Let’s begin.

"Sometimes we don’t need advice — we just need someone to listen."

You talk. I listen.

If life feels heavy, confusing or overwhelming, you don’t have to carry it alone. In our sessions it’s just a chat between the two of us — honest, confidential and held in a safe, comfortable space where your feelings are welcomed without judgement. Whether you’re processing heartbreak, family strain, anger or guilt, I’m here to help you make sense of it and find steadiness alongside those emotions.

Why choose me?
- Warm, person-centred approach — you set the pace.
- Practical tools and compassionate reflection to help you move forward.
- Flexible appointment times, phone or video sessions to fit your life.
- Clear, professional care designed around you — not a one-size-fits-all plan.

Meet Yourself First — Build Relationships That Last.

Do you fall fast — then feel lost? Jump from one relationship to the next hoping the next person will fill the pieces? Or maybe you stay so close to someone else’s needs you forget your own?

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many of us learn to love by mirror: mirroring others’ wants, fears, and rhythms until our own voice gets quiet. The good news? You don’t have to stay stuck in patterns that leave you drained, anxious, or invisible.

I help couples, young people and adults:
- Notice the patterns that pull you into rushed or dependent relationships
- Reclaim your sense of self and healthy boundaries
- Build honest communication and deeper connection — with yourself and others
- Move from reacting to choosing relationships that reflect your values

Whether you’re rebuilding after heartbreak, struggling with conflict in your couple dynamic, or supporting a teen learning how to relate — therapy can give you practical tools and a kinder, clearer path forward.

Ready to meet you — first? Book a free 15‑minute consultation and let’s talk about what you truly want from your relationships. Because when you know yourself, your relationships can finally start to feel like home.

Feeling more like flatmates than partners? You’re not alone — most relationship pain comes from unmet expectations and missing skills, not a broken spouse.

As a couples counsellor I see the same pattern: each partner quietly hopes the other will provide what they lack — steadiness, admiration, guidance, intimacy — but neither has been shown how to build those things together. The result is withdrawal, frustration and a steady cooling of connection.

There’s a different way. Healthy partnership grows when both people commit to developing themselves and each other:
- Redefine leadership as calm responsibility, truthful communication and steady presence — not control.
- Support each other’s strengths instead of competing with them.
- Learn to repair conflict, stay emotionally available, and take practical steps that build trust and desire.
- Foster shared purpose so partnership becomes energising, not draining.

Change doesn’t require perfection — it requires intention and practice. When both partners focus on growth, admiration and attraction often return naturally, and the relationship becomes more resilient and alive.

If you’re ready to move from stuck to connected, I offer compassionate, practical support for couples and individuals wanting real, lasting change. Get in touch to book a short call and we’ll explore a safe, steady plan that fits your goals.

Not loud - Just wrong: Naming Coercive Control.

Sometimes the thing that feels “wrong” isn’t loud — it’s a slow, quiet pressure that makes you doubt yourself.

You might notice small changes: you second‑guess decisions, find yourself scanning someone’s mood, avoid the family, friends or activities you used to love, or apologise more than you used to. Comments framed as “concern” feel caring at first, but over time your inner voice grows faint. That gentle erosion — not one big dramatic moment, but a thousand tiny shifts — can be coercive control.

If any of this rings true, you’re not imagining it. Your confusion, anxiety, or numbness are real responses to being in a relationship where your autonomy and trust in yourself have been worn down. This isn’t about blame — it’s about clarity.

In therapy we’ll:
- listen without judgement and name what’s been happening
- help you rebuild trust in your own sense of what’s true
- practice gentle boundaries that feel doable, not overwhelming
- support your nervous system so you stop living on edge

You don’t have to figure this out alone. If you’re tired of walking on eggshells, or you keep asking yourself “Am I overreacting?” — let’s sit with that together. There’s a way back to feeling like you again: safer, clearer, and more certain of your choices.

If you want to talk it through, send a message or book a free 15‑minute chat. No pressure — just a warm, listening space where your experience matters.

YOUR PLACE OR MINE?

Counselling isn’t always comfortable — but you can be.

Whether you’d like to meet in my warm, cosy office or join online from the comfort of your own space, therapy isn’t about the room — it’s all about the relationship between us. When we connect, change happens.

I create a welcoming, non-judgemental space and will do everything to make starting counselling feel easier. You talk. I listen. Together we find the way forward.

Look out of my therapy room window today and you’ll see a cold, wet January — and sometimes the weather outside mirrors what’s happening inside us. If you’re feeling low, flat, anxious, or tangled up in difficult relationships or past hurts, you don’t have to face it alone.

At Deep Roots Counselling Service in the heart of Southend’s conservation area, the first session is simply a warm, confidential space for you to speak at your own pace. There’s no fixing, no pressure, and no judgement — just someone to listen and help you begin to make sense of what’s weighing on you. Whether it’s grief, depression, anxiety, or just feeling stuck, “I don’t know where to start” is absolutely enough.

I offer gentle, professional support both face-to-face in Southend and online, tailored to what feels safest for you. If you’d like a short, no-pressure chat to see if we’re a good fit, please DM me or visit my website to arrange a booking — you’re very welcome here.
