Supportive Counselling

A compassionate, safe space in York city centre to help you navigate life’s challenges, with a specialism in neurodivergence and trauma. In a FREE consultation, you can see if my approach fits. Together, we’ll work through your concerns and find a path forward. I'm a counsellor and psychotherapist working with children, adolescents and adults.

Also offering online, and phone counselling, I tailor my support to your needs, helping you navigate your world with more confidence and clarity. Let’s work together to help you embrace your strengths and uniqueness to create a life that truly works for you.

I offer counselling for a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, low self-esteem, family issues, and low self-confidence. My approach is tailored to help you navigate life's challenges, whether you're dealing with trauma, autism, bereavement, stress, or just feeling overwhelmed and sad.

In addition to traditional counselling, I offer Rewind Trauma Therapy, an effective approach for trauma that has a high success rate. This technique helps permanently stop involuntary recall by filing the traumatic event so it comes under control—often in just three sessions.

I work with clients facing OCD, trauma, social anxiety, suicidal thoughts, panic attacks, and work-related stress. My services also extend to those struggling with anger management, loneliness, or challenges like health anxiety, perfectionism, or phobias. I have experience supporting individuals with neurodiversity and those going through separation, divorce, affairs, betrayals, or abuse (emotional, physical, or sexual).

I also offer LGBTQ+ counselling, Lego Therapy, help with dissociation, sexual assault, and support for bipolar disorder, and postnatal depression. If you’re coping with chronic illness, career stress, childhood trauma, or disabilities, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space.

Whether you’re dealing with grief, miscarriages, infertility, menopause, or even eco-anxiety, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll work towards healing and positive change.

I offer creative techniques such as play, art and Lego therapy as well as talking therapy and trauma therapy.

I'm a fully qualified/insured counsellor and psychotherapist and a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) working with children, adolescents and adults. With an up-to-date Enhanced DBS check. I have over 20 years of Autism experience/qualifications.

I am also a member of IARTT (International Association for Rewind Trauma Therapy) as a registered Rewind Trauma Therapist. I was trained by Dr Muss offering treatment for trauma. The Rewind offers a way of permanently stopping the involuntary recall by filing the traumatic event so it comes under control in only 3 sessions.

I previously managed a charity counselling project, mentoring trainee counsellors and handling complex cases. I also worked in both NHS and charity sectors with a diverse range of clients. This experience gave me a strong foundation in ethical, compassionate, and effective mental health support.

Sessions are tailored to your unique needs, ensuring effective support. Many clients notice improvements within the first month, leading to steady progress as we work together to enhance your well-being and personal growth.

I provide flexible counselling options to suit your preferences, whether face-to-face meetings, online sessions, phone calls. Since life and circumstances can change, you have the freedom to adjust your therapy to what works best for you.

Face-to-face sessions are held in my welcoming office in central York, just a few minutes’ walk from the city centre. Free on-street parking  and the location is well-connected by bus routes and close to York train station. My office, located on the ground floor with full accessibility, is thoughtfully furnished to provide a calm and relaxed atmosphere.
