I moved to Newcastle from Germany over eight years ago and completed a three-year Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling.
I’m passionate about helping people live life more fully, and I enjoy getting to know someone and hearing their stories. I believe there’s something valuable in having a space to talk openly, be yourself, feel listened to, and make sense of what’s going on.
Life can feel like surviving sometimes. My counselling practice offers a supportive, relaxed place to pause, make sense of things, and think about what might help you feel more like yourself and make life feel more fulfilling.
What I Can Help With
Over the years, I have supported people with anxiety, low mood and depression, stress and burnout, emotional regulation, difficulties at work, family life and parenting, health-related issues, loss and grief, challenging life experiences, questions around identity, relationship difficulties, low confidence and self-esteem, finding meaning, and life transitions and changes.
I also support people exploring neurodiversity, including autism, ADHD and AuDHD. As a neurodivergent therapist, I bring both professional experience and lived understanding to our work, creating a space where you can be yourself, feel understood and talk openly about what matters to you.
My Counselling Approach
Therapy is flexible, relational and collaborative. I’m a person-centred, integrative counsellor, drawing on interpersonal and existential ideas, psychodynamic approaches, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I adapt to what feels most helpful for you as we go.
Sessions are reflective and conversational, with room for curiosity, humour and warmth as we explore together what’s happening and what matters to you.
Being a therapist doesn’t mean having all the answers. My own experience of being a client during my training showed me just how beneficial the counselling process can be.
Counselling offers a chance to reconnect with yourself. It can be moving, thought-provoking and freeing, wherever you are in life.
