Counselling
"Counselling is way to connect with your inner wisdom and to find your own path to healing"
– Bessel Van Der Kolk
Self-doubt and feeling “not good enough” can be debilitating, affecting our confidence in all areas of life. Do you find yourself overthinking, criticising yourself, or comparing yourself to others? Perhaps you have experienced trauma in the past or are trying to deal with a challenging relationship or critical parent? These events might also be triggering unhelpful patterns of behaviour that are connected to your unconscious mind and past experiences.
It's often difficult to know where to start but telling your story and being truly heard can begin to bring a sense of relief, understanding and self-awareness. This can then empower you to engage and quieten the internal negative voice so you can begin to make positive changes in your life.
Practising a person-centred integrative approach, I tailor Counselling to your unique needs and goals. Our relationship will provide the foundation and will be built on trust, confidentiality and your sense of autonomy. I am curious and may sometimes ask questions to help you delve deeper but the direction of travel will always be chosen by you. You are then free to explore not only your present experiences but past ones, understanding how they might be contributing to negative self-beliefs or relational issues today.
I have experience working with a wide range of life-affecting experiences, including:
· anxiety and self-doubt
· low mood and depressive thoughts
· living with past or present trauma
· challenging personal and family relationships
· navigating unexpected or enforced change
· teenagers adjusting to adulthood
I am also a qualified Life Coach so as well as understanding your past and present, if it feels right you can also look to the future and consider your goals and ambitions that will help lead towards positive change in your life
I have my own Private Practice in central Newbury where I work face to face with both adults and young people. I provide immediate short-term support or we can use longer-term work to explore complex issues in more depth so you can bring about lasting change.
So if you’re tired of putting on a brave face, then contact me for a free, no-obligation 30-minute Discovery Session to find out more about how I can support you.
Life Coaching
“Coaching empowers people by facilitating self-directed learning, personal growth and improved performance”
- J Passmore
Do you feel ready for change, but unsure where to start? Life coaching can give you the clarity, focus, and motivation to move forward. Together, we’ll uncover what really matters to you and create a practical path toward the life you want.
Many of my clients come to coaching feeling stuck, uncertain, or lacking confidence. You don’t need to have all the answers — coaching is a space to explore your aspirations, understand what’s holding you back, and discover your potential. My role is to support you in finding direction and building the tools to create lasting change.
My approach is practical and forward-looking. We’ll look at where you are now, what has shaped your journey so far, and where you want to go. I’ll help you set meaningful goals and take manageable steps toward them. Along the way, you’ll develop greater self-awareness and a mindset that supports growth and resilience.
