Psychotherapy and Counselling
In person in Southampton, or online therapy sessions
My approach is body-based, which means we don’t just talk about what’s happening - we also focus on how experiences live in the body. Together, we explore ways of calming your nervous system, building resilience, and reconnecting with a sense of safety, self-expression, and wholeness.
If you are looking for counselling Southampton, psychotherapy Southampton, trauma therapy Southampton, or an inclusive therapist who understands neurodivergence, LGBTQ+ identities, and the realities of parenting a neurodivergent child, I bring over 20 years of therapeutic experience to support you with compassion and care.
I offer psychotherapy and counselling in Southampton (in person), as well as secure online therapy for clients across the UK. Sessions are tailored to your needs, whether you are seeking short-term support or longer-term healing.
What is Psychotherapy and Counselling?
Psychotherapy and counselling provide a safe, supportive, and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with a trained professional. Unlike talking with friends or family, therapy offers a dedicated, non-judgemental environment designed to help you process difficulties, gain clarity, and discover healthier ways of coping and living.
As a psychotherapist and counsellor in Southampton, I work with adults from all walks of life - including those who are neurodivergent, those who identify as LGBTQ+, and parents navigating the unique challenges of raising a neurodivergent child. My practice is inclusive, compassionate, and trauma-informed, with a strong emphasis on safety, consent, and moving at your own pace.
I specialise in supporting people navigating
- Complex trauma (CPTSD and PTSD)
- Grief, loss, and emotional overwhelm
- Anxiety, burnout, and stress
- Dissociation, inner conflict, and shutdown
- Birth trauma and perinatal experiences
- The unique challenges faced by neurodivergent adults
- The impact of LGBTQ+ identity-based stress, discrimination, and marginalisation
- Parenting a neurodivergent child, including the emotional, relational, and practical complexities this can bring
