At Within Counselling, I provide compassionate and professional support to individuals seeking psychodynamic counselling & therapy. I work with clients to overcome challenges and achieve mental well-being.
I offer support for a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. You may be seeking help after a major life event or crisis, or looking to understand long-standing patterns shaped by earlier experiences. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, or simply feeling stuck, I provide a space to reflect, gain insight, and move toward meaningful change.
Whatever brings you here, talking to someone who is trained to listen and think with you can make a real difference.
Do you need to talk?

My approach to psychodynamic counselling & therapy is rooted in empathy, compassion, and non-judgement. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and feelings. We work together to gain insight into the root causes of your difficulties and move towards positive change.

I practise neurodiversity-affirming therapy, recognising and valuing natural differences in how people experience and process the world, including ADHD, autism, and dyslexia. I work collaboratively, focusing on each person’s individual needs and strengths, which may include exploring identity, navigating challenges, or understanding a later diagnosis. My work is informed by professional and lived experience, supporting a thoughtful and empathic therapeutic approach.

At Within Counselling, I understand that starting therapy can feel like a big step. If you are unsure, you are welcome to a brief phone conversation and an initial consultation. This gives us the chance to share practical information, consider what has led you to counselling, ask questions, and see if working together feels right, with no obligation to continue.
