Hi, I’m a person-centred therapist based in Blackpool, North West England, with five years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. My initial focus was bereavement counselling, helping clients process loss and grief. Over time, I’ve expanded my experience and training to support a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, psychosis, self-harm, suicide, suicide prevention/intervention, and suicide loss survivors.
I believe therapy is a journey of growth—not just for clients, but for therapists too. I am continuously developing my skills to ensure I provide effective, compassionate support tailored to each individual’s needs.
As a developing Art therapist, I integrate creative, visual, and colour-based techniques into my sessions, helping clients express emotions that may feel difficult to put into words. Colour can be a powerful tool in understanding feelings—it allows us to explore emotions intuitively, creating a deeper connection to thoughts and experiences. Through imagery, artistic exploration, and creative exercises, we uncover insights that make healing feel natural and personal.
I am also a spiritual person, and I often introduce meditation and grounding techniques, especially for those experiencing debilitating anxiety, to support emotional balance and healing. Grounding can provide stability, helping individuals reconnect with the present moment, regulate overwhelming emotions, and regain a sense of control. Everything we do is designed around what feels comfortable and beneficial for you.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming. It’s completely normal to have doubts, uncertainties, or even fears about opening up to someone new. You might wonder where to begin, whether your feelings make sense, or how therapy can actually help—but you don’t need to have all the answers before you start. Therapy is a space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace, without pressure or judgment. Whether you’re feeling stuck, navigating a difficult time, or simply seeking understanding, I’ll be here to walk alongside you.
Your journey is yours, and I’m here to support you in making sense of it in a way that feels safe, meaningful, and empowering. If you’re ready to take that step, I’d love to help.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
