Adolescents 16+ and adults

I support people who may be experiencing:

• Feeling anxious or overwhelmed

• Feeling low, flat, or not quite like yourself

• Struggling with intense or hard-to-manage emotions

• Sadness, grief, or navigating a sense of loss

• Stress, burnout, or feeling mentally and emotionally drained

• Life changes or transitions that feel uncertain or difficult

• Challenges with self-worth, confidence, or identity

• Difficulties in relationships or within family dynamics

• The impact of past or recent difficult experiences

• This is a supportive space to talk through life challenges, relationships, stress, or feeling stuck

• Focus on self-understanding, personal growth, and practical strategies

• You don’t need a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHCP) or referral from a GP

• Appointments are often available sooner, with little to no wait time

Starting counselling can feel a little unknown, which is completely normal.

In your first session, we’ll take things at your pace. I’ll gently ask some questions to understand what’s been going on for you and what’s brought you to counselling. There’s no pressure to share everything all at once, you’re welcome to share only what feels comfortable.

We’ll also talk about what you’re hoping to get out of our sessions and begin to explore how we might work together.

This really depends on you and what you’re looking for.

Some people come for a few sessions to work through a specific issue, while others choose to continue longer-term to explore patterns and create deeper change.

We can check in regularly to make sure the pace and direction feel right for you.

Seeing a counsellor can be a helpful first step when you’re going through a difficult time or simply need someone to talk to.

You can think of it like this: Seeing a counsellor is similar to visiting a GP when you have a concern, they are often the first point of support. Counsellors provide a safe space to talk, explore what’s going on, and work through challenges in a practical and supportive way.

If your concerns are more complex, ongoing, or require specialised assessment or diagnosis, a psychologist may be recommended. Psychologists are trained in assessment and evidence-based treatments for more complex mental health conditions.

If symptoms are more severe or require medication, a psychiatrist may become involved to provide medical support.
