A few words about me
About Me
I am a counsellor who works with adults 18 plus. Over the years, my role has brought me into contact with people from all walks of life, and this has strengthened my passion for helping others through counselling.
I see myself as a counsellor who offers a safe space where you can talk openly and explore what is troubling you. I understand that starting counselling can feel like a big step, and I aim to make the process as comfortable and supportive as possible.
Before training as a counsellor, I owned a business working in agriculture and construction. I have an in-depth working knowledge of how to run a business in very tough industries. This experience has given me a real understanding of the pressures and responsibilities that come with managing work, finances, and people — and how these can impact your mental health and wellbeing. It also allows me to connect with individuals from practical, hands-on backgrounds who may not always find it easy to talk about what they’re going through.
I have a genuine passion for helping people understand themselves better, so they can navigate their own journey with greater awareness and self-confidence. Over time, I work with men who may find it harder to reach out and say, “Can we have a chat?” I provide a confidential, approachable space.
Alongside this, I also work with those experiencing loss and bereavement. Grief is a deeply personal journey that can feel overwhelming, isolating, or confusing. I aim to offer a compassionate and supportive space where you can talk openly about your loss, begin to process your feelings, and find a way of moving forward while honouring your experience.
My way of working is person-centred, which means the focus is on you and what you need. Many of the people I work with experience anxiety, low self-esteem, stress, burnout, or grief. My goal is to equip you with the tools and insights to manage these challenges and move forward in life with resilience and clarity.
If you are considering counselling, please know you don’t have to face things alone. I can walk alongside you as you take the next steps on your journey.

Bereavement CounsellingGrief counselling for men offers a private, non‑judgemental space to deal with bereavement and loss in a way that feels honest and manageable. Many men grow up with the message to stay strong, hold it together, or push feelings aside. But grief doesn’t follow those rules. It can show up as anger, numbness, guilt, confusion, or a sense that life has been knocked off course. Person‑centred counselling gives you room to talk openly, at your own pace, with someone who listens without judgement or pressure.
A key part of male mental health support is recognising that a new loss can also uncover older, unprocessed grief. Many men never had the time, space, or support to deal with earlier losses — they just kept going. When a major bereavement happens now, those past experiences can resurface and hit just as hard. Counselling helps you explore both the current loss and any earlier grief you may have carried alone.
This approach is grounded in empathy, acceptance, and genuine understanding. Over time, it helps you steady yourself, reconnect with your strengths, and find a way forward that feels real. Grief counselling for men isn’t about fixing you — it’s about giving you space to breathe, reflect, and rebuild after loss.

Anxiety
How can counselling help with anxiety? During counselling, we will look at what the anxiety is protecting you from and how it is triggered. This way, rather than simply being told to “stop worrying”, you can begin to understand what causes your anxiety. Counselling can help you understand your anxiety and how to manage it.
In counselling, I will walk alongside you in a safe way to explore the thoughts, feelings, body sensations, and behaviours connected with your anxiety. I will help you gain a deeper understanding of your anxiety so you can develop self-compassion and strategies to manage it, build your confidence, and work through experiences that may be contributing to anxious feelings.
