Friendship can be incredibly supportive — but counselling offers something a little different. 🌿

With friends, conversations naturally go both ways. We share experiences, give opinions, offer advice and sometimes have our own hopes about what the other person should do.

Counselling is different.

🤍 The space is entirely yours. You don’t need to ask how I am, look after my feelings or make sure I’m okay too.

🌿 I don’t have an agenda for you. I’m not there to tell you what you should do, persuade you to make a particular decision or take sides. We explore what feels right for you.

🤍 You can say the things that feel difficult to say elsewhere. The messy, contradictory, uncomfortable thoughts are welcome too — without worrying about judgement or changing how someone close to you sees you.

🌿 There are professional boundaries. Our relationship has a clear purpose: to support your wellbeing, understanding and growth.

🤍 I’m trained to listen differently. Not simply to respond, reassure or solve the problem, but to notice patterns, gently explore what might sit underneath them and help you understand yourself more deeply.

🌿 There is no need to protect me. You don't have to minimise what you're experiencing because you're worried about burdening me.

🤍 It is confidential. Within the usual professional and safeguarding limits, what you share stays within the therapeutic relationship.

🌿 We can give something time. Rather than rushing to make things better, counselling gives you space to sit with feelings, understand where they come from and decide what you want to do next.

Good friendships are invaluable. Counselling doesn't replace them — it offers a different kind of relationship, where for that hour, you get to be the focus.

Sometimes being truly heard, without judgement, advice or agenda, can be where change begins. 🤍

Ever sent someone a message, noticed they haven’t replied… and suddenly found yourself having an entire conversation in your own head?

Transactional Analysis offers one way of understanding those different responses.

Imagine they’ve seen your message, but haven’t replied:

🫵 Critical Parent: “Stop checking your phone. You’re being ridiculous.”

🤍 Nurturing Parent: “I can see this is making you anxious. Be gentle with yourself.”

🌿 Adult: “They haven’t replied yet. I don’t know why, and there could be lots of reasons.”

🥺 Adapted Child: “Have I upset them? Did I do something wrong?”

✨ Free Child: “Oh well! I’m going to do something I enjoy.”

We all move between these states, often without realising.

Counselling can help us notice which voices are loudest, understand where they came from, and explore whether those old patterns still serve us.

Awareness doesn’t stop every difficult feeling but it can give us more choice about what happens next. 🤍

The summer holidays can be lovely… but they can also feel noisy, relentless and emotionally exhausting, especially when everyone else’s needs seem to come first.

I’ve created: Still You: A Gentle Holiday Wellbeing Pack for Parents and Carers

This is a free downloadable resource designed to help you hold onto small strands of yourself during the holidays. 🌿

Inside you’ll find:

♡ simple daily wellbeing anchors
♡ self-care ideas for the time and energy you actually have
♡ nervous-system calming tools
♡ support for difficult or critical thoughts
♡ gentle reminders of your identity beyond motherhood
♡ weekly check-ins and a plan for the harder days

This isn’t about creating the perfect self-care routine or adding more to your list. It’s about remembering that small moments count and that your needs matter too.

The pack is completely free to download through the link in my bio.

Please feel free to share this with another parent/ carer who might need it this summer. 🤍

Life doesn't always slow down just because we need support. 🤍

Between work, family, caring for others and everything else life asks of us, it can feel impossible to find time for yourself. Yet those moments of reflection, rest and healing are often when we need them most.

That's why I offer counselling in a way that fits around your life.

Whether you prefer to meet in a comfortable therapy room, connect from home through online counselling, or explore your thoughts whilst walking side by side in nature, together we can find an approach that feels right for you.

There isn't one way to do therapy. There isn't one pace that suits everyone.

There is simply a space to pause, feel heard, and begin making sense of whatever you're carrying.

If you're unsure where to start, I offer a free, confidential 15-minute telephone consultation. We can talk through what you're looking for, answer any questions you have, and decide together which option feels like the best fit, without any pressure or obligation.

🤍 Face-to-face counselling in Tiverton, Wellington & Barnstaple
🤍 Online counselling available UK-wide
🤍 Walk & Talk counselling
🤍 Free confidential 15-minute consultation

Because finding support should fit around your life, not the other way around.

Sometimes the hardest part is deciding to send that first message.

A lot of people tell me they spent weeks, or even months, wondering whether counselling was right for them.

The first step is often the hardest but it can also be one of the bravest things you do. You’re stepping outside your comfort zone. You’re choosing yourself, and that might feel unfamiliar.

So often, we put other people’s needs before our own. Then, when you come to counselling and the space is entirely about you, it can feel strange at first.

But you are worth the time.

You are deserving of care, support and the chance to be heard without judgement.

Counselling is not about having all the answers. It is simply a place to begin exploring what you are feeling, at your own pace.

You do not have to wait until things feel unbearable. You do not need to have the perfect words. You only need to take that first small step.

Sometimes, that starts with a message. If you're wondering whether counselling might be right for you, you're very welcome to get in touch. There's no pressure or obligation. I'm always happy to answer any questions 😊

📍 Available in Wellington, Somerset, Tiverton, Devon, and online.

End of therapy gifts are never expected, but they're always so deeply appreciated. 🌻🥂

Sunflowers have always been my favourite flower. To me, they represent hope, resilience, and turning towards the light. I hope these beautiful blooms are a reminder of everything this client has overcome, and all that lies ahead. 🌻🤍

After recovering from my second kidney transplant, I decided it was time to see what I was capable of.

I went back and completed my A Levels, then my Psychology and Counselling Degree, alongside training as a therapeutic counsellor. There have been placements, exams, assignments, supervision, personal therapy, thousands of pages of reading, and more cups of coffee than I care to count. There have been moments where I questioned whether I could keep going, but I never quite let go of why I started.

I've always believed that everyone deserves a space where they can simply be themselves without judgement. A space to feel heard, understood and accepted. Being able to offer that to other people is such a privilege.

What I love most about this job is that the changes often don't stop with the individual. When one person begins to heal, understand themselves and find a little more peace, the effects often ripple outwards. It can change relationships with partners, children, family, friends and colleagues. Supporting one person can actually make a difference to so many others.

So, off the back of four years of learning, growing and working towards this dream, I've finally got around to creating my website.

A huge thank you to Pierre and Alba, who have patiently put up with the late nights, the piles of books, the essays taking over the dining table- I couldn't have done it without you both (or obviously you Kels Lindsell )🤍

And if you know someone who might benefit from counselling, I'd be so grateful if you shared it with them.

🌿✨️Choosing a counsellor is about so much more than choosing a therapy model.

You could have two counsellors who both use the same theories, techniques and interventions, but your experience with each could feel completely different.

Why?

Because therapy isn't just about what your counsellor knows. It's also about how it feels to be with them.

Many researchers believe that one of the strongest predictors of positive change in therapy isn't the specific approach being used, it's the quality of the therapeutic relationship.

Feeling genuinely seen. Feeling understood. Feeling accepted without judgement. Feeling safe enough to be vulnerable.

That relationship can become a blueprint for healthier relationships outside of therapy. A secure base from which you can begin to explore, take risks, make changes, and always know there is a safe place to return to while you grow.

This is why finding the right counsellor matters. It isn't one-size-fits-all.

If you've tried counselling before and it didn't feel like the right fit, that doesn't necessarily mean therapy isn't for you. Sometimes it simply means you hadn't yet found the relationship that allowed healing to happen.

The right therapist won't have all the answers.
But the right relationship can help you discover your own.
