Listening, Understanding, Care, Openness, Resilience, Awareness.
At certain points in life, things that once felt manageable can begin to feel overwhelming. You might be living with anxiety, self‑doubt, or a loss of confidence — perhaps following bereavement, a period of emotional breakdown, or a significant life transition. You may feel unsure who you are now, or caught between what you can and can’t control.I work with adults who are navigating these moments of change.
Many of the people I support feel they’ve lost touch with themselves, are questioning long‑held patterns, or are carrying the impact of past relationships and attachments into the present. Therapy offers a space to slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and reconnect with yourself in a more compassionate way. I offer person‑centred counselling in Hilton, Derbyshire, between Derby and Burton upon Trent, as well as online sessions.
I provide a warm, calm and accepting space where you can speak openly and be truly heard. Our work is led by you — at your pace — with care, respect, and without judgement or pressure to be fixed.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and hold a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. My practice follows the BACP Ethical Framework, with confidentiality, care and professional integrity at its core. I am committed to ongoing supervision and professional development to ensure I offer thoughtful, ethical and high‑quality support.
How Can Counselling Help?
I offer a calm, supportive and non‑judgemental space where you can gently explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences — especially if things feel confusing, overwhelming, or hard to put into words.
Many people come to therapy feeling uncertain about themselves or unsure where to begin; my role is to meet you where you are and walk alongside you at your pace.My work is grounded in the core conditions of person‑centred counselling, with the belief that growth and change become possible when you feel genuinely heard, accepted and understood.
Through a trusting therapeutic relationship, I support you to make sense of your experiences, reflect on long‑held patterns, and reconnect with your own inner resources in a way that feels safe and manageable.
What Can Counselling Help With?

Support for Anxiety, Overwhelm and Low Self-Esteem
Counselling can offer a calm and supportive space to talk openly about how anxiety is affecting your life.
Through person-centred counselling, you will be listened to with empathy and without judgement. As a BACP registered counsellor, I work in line with professional ethical standards to ensure you feel safe, respected, and supported throughout your counselling journey.
Together, we can gently explore what may be contributing to your anxiety, including thoughts, feelings, and past experiences. As your understanding grows, you may begin to recognise patterns and feel more in control of your responses.
Anxiety counselling can help you feel more grounded, build resilience, and develop ways of coping that feel right for you.
If you are struggling with confidence or self-doubt, counselling for low self-esteem, counselling can provide a safe, non-judgemental space to explore how you feel about yourself.
In person-centred counselling, you are supported to talk openly and be accepted as you are. As a BACP registered counsellor, I offer a professional, ethical, and compassionate approach, helping you feel at ease as you begin to explore your thoughts and feelings.
Together, we can explore how your self-esteem has developed and how it may be affecting your thoughts, feelings, and relationships.
Over time, counselling can help you challenge negative self-beliefs, develop greater self-acceptance, and build a stronger sense of self-worth.
If you are feeling constantly under pressure, emotionally drained, or struggling to keep up with daily life, counselling for overwhelm can offer a space to pause and breathe.
In person-centred counselling, you are given the time and space to talk openly about what is contributing to your sense of overwhelm — whether that relates to work, relationships, family life, or other pressures. Feeling truly heard and understood can help ease the intensity of what you are experiencing.
As a BACP registered counsellor, I provide a calm, supportive, and confidential environment where you can begin to make sense of your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.
Through counselling, you may start to untangle what feels like “too much,” gain clarity around what matters to you, and develop a greater sense of balance and control. This can help you feel more grounded, resilient, and better able to manage the demands of everyday life.
