People seek counselling for a wide range of things. My work often involves supporting people with depression, stress, life changes, relationships, self-worth, self-exploration, and identity.

My special interests include, but are not limited to, working with loss and grief, and depression.

Drawing from my training and personal interest in existential therapy and philosophy, sometimes our work could be to help explore the big questions of life - what is your purpose? What gives your life meaning? What makes it all worth it? The big and bold questions can be exciting to explore together.

In previous careers, I have worked with horses (as a groom, rider, and coachman) and more recently in the funeral profession. My interests also include people who work in these fields.

I have experience of working with autistic people. I am an LGBTQIA+ ally.

Ultimately, and, I think, most importantly, I am interested in the human experience and being with people; we will listen with each other to each other.

I offer a supportive, non-judgemental space to help you explore whatever it is you are going through. The focus of the session is on you. I adapt my approach around you and your needs, goals, hopes and exceptions, whatever they may be.

How does someone know when they have done their own personal therapy in depth?

"They live with increased sense of internal peace. A willingness to probably manage anything. They come away a sense with that no matter how good or bad a situation, I can learn and grow from the experience – and they do that with a sense of peace." - Richard Erskine (2023)
