I moved to Newcastle from Germany over eight years ago and trained for three years at the Northern Guild of Psychotherapy and Counselling.
I am passionate about helping people thrive and live life more fully. I enjoy getting to know people, listening to their stories and understanding what matters to them.
My counselling practice offers a supportive, relaxed space to move beyond survival mode towards a life that feels more fulfilling.
What I Can Help With
Over the years, I have supported people navigating anxiety, low mood and depression, stress and burnout, identity formation, family life and parenting, health-related issues, loss and grief, challenging life experiences, low confidence and self-esteem, relationship difficulties, finding meaning, and moving through life transitions and changes.
I also support people navigating neurodiversity, including autism, ADHD and AuDHD. In our sessions, I bring both professional experience and personal understanding, creating a space where you can be yourself and feel understood.
My Counselling Approach
Therapy is flexible, relational and responsive to you. I draw on person-centred therapy and transactional analysis, as well as acceptance and commitment therapy, interpersonal, psychodynamic and existential ideas, adapting 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 matters to you.
Being a therapist doesn’t mean having all the answers. My own experience of being in the client role as part of my training showed me how powerful this process can be.
Counselling offers a chance to reconnect with yourself. It can be moving, thought-provoking and freeing, wherever you are in life. Together, we can explore what feels important to you.
If this resonates, you’re very welcome to get in touch.
