Experienced, Compassionate and Professional
Life can feel overwhelming at times — whether through loss, trauma, anxiety, or major life changes. You may feel stuck, uncertain, or simply in need of someone who will truly listen and understand without judgment. You may be seeking a safe and supportive space where you can discuss your feelings openly, explore your emotions, and start to make sense of what’s happening. Together, we can work at a pace that feels right for you, helping you find clarity, build resilience, and take steps toward a greater sense of balance, confidence, and wellbeing.
​
As a Registered Counsellor with the NCPS, I provide a safe, supportive space to be heard. I work in a person-centred, flexible way, tailoring therapy to your needs. Together, we’ll explore challenges at a pace that feels right, helping you find clarity, understanding, and ways forward.
Drawing on both professional experience and personal resilience, I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space. If you’re ready to explore your challenges and growth, I warmly welcome you to contact me.
Why Choose Bee's Safe Space Therapy?
I work in a person-centred, integrative, and eclectic way, which means I do not rely on just one single approach. Instead, I draw on a range of therapeutic models and techniques, tailoring the work to meet each client's unique needs. This allows me to support the whole person, their experiences, strengths, and challenges to offer a more flexible, holistic approach to counselling.
Grief & bereavement counselling
Compassionate and personal guidance for those coping with loss. A mindful space to share, reflect, and honour memories while navigating the emotions of grief. Support focuses on comfort and resilience, allowing healing to unfold in its own time.
Navigating life transitions & challenges
Understanding and steadiness during times of change and uncertainty. Support is guided by your own circumstances, helping you reflect, adapt, and explore new possibilities. The process is collaborative, with space to find stability and confidence in your next steps.
Support with stress, anxiety & overwhelm
A safe space to explore the impact of daily pressures in a way that feels manageable for you. Approaches are tailored to help restore balance and build strategies that suit your needs. Support is centred on finding clarity and calm at your own pace.
Building self-confidence & personal growth
Encouragement for those seeking greater self-belief and direction. Support is shaped around personal strengths and goals, creating opportunities for reflection and growth. The focus is on building confidence and resilience in a way that feels authentic to you.
Get in Touch
I provide a complimentary 15-minute introductory session to assess our compatibility as therapist and client.
During the initial meeting, I will approach each individual uniquely and engage in a discussion to identify the type of therapy that best meets your needs and to determine whether I can provide the appropriate support.
