At my counselling practice, I offer a deeply integrative approach tailored to each client's unique needs, drawing from a range of therapeutic modalities to create a supportive and effective experience. As a neurodivergent and queer therapist, I provide a space where clients from diverse backgrounds feel truly seen and understood.

What do you love most about your job?
My absolute favourite thing about my job is that I get the opportunity to really get to know my clients on such a significant level, and be alongside them in their journey of growth and self-discovery. Being there to witness changes that might once have felt impossible is an incredible privilege. Watching clients develop their own strengths, and make progress that is meaningful to them is deeply rewarding. No two clients or sessions are ever the same, and I love the creative, dynamic, and deeply human nature that this brings to my work.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I started my own practice to offer my unique, authentic approach to therapy to future clients. As a neurodivergent, queer woman, I enjoy non-traditional approaches to talking therapies, and wanted to create a space where my clients can feel truly seen by another human being. My background in crisis work and mental health maintenance brings a realistic, grounded perspective that I hope helps my clients to navigate challenges in ways that feel practical and empowering.
Why should our clients choose you?
My integrative, collaborative and adaptable approach is grounded in real-life lived experience. I understand that no two clients are the same, so every session is tailored to what truly works for you. With my background in crisis work, I have a unique and realistic understanding of mental health services local to me, and a deep understanding of neurodivergent and queer experiences. My clients choose me because they're looking for a counsellor who can offer a safe and empathic environment, and can offer not just support, but meaningful and lasting change according to their own individual goals.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I offer my services both face to face, and remotely. I typically use the Google Meet platform, which is accessible from your preferred internet browser, but can offer flexibility in this regard. I offer the same quality counselling face to face and remotely, whether that is through Google Meet, or via the telephone.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Your health and safety are my top priorities. To ensure that any environment offered by me is comfortable and secure, high-touch surfaces are sanitised between clients and soft furnishings deep cleaned regularly. I offer full flexibility for my clients, and am able to accommodate last minute changes to remote sessions should you be unable to attend due to contagious illness. If you're feeling unwell, rescheduling appointments, or switching to online contact is quick and easy. If you have any specific requirements or concerns, please reach out. Your well-being matters.
Counselling Appointment - Face to Face
Using an integrative approach to tailor our work to your individual needs, I offer counselling designed to support you through the journey, growth, or learning that you might be seeking from my warm, and comfortable office based in central Plymouth, Devon. I welcome and invite variety in our work, from conventional talking therapies to creative approaches such as Sand Tray, where it may be helpful. My office has nearby parking, and is well connected to local transport links. All sessions held in person are safe, confidential, and unique to you.
Counselling Appointment - Remote
If you would like to gain the benefits of counselling together from the comfort of your own home, or are unable to access face to face sessions, I also offer remote counselling using Google Meet. This requires no sign up or login, and can be accessed direct from your preferred internet browser. All you require is a safe and confidential place to work together, a stable connection, and device capable of video calls, such as a personal mobile or laptop.
Additionally, I can also offer telephone counselling sessions should you prefer to speak over the phone. If you have other requests or preferences, please don't hesitate to reach out with your queries.
