About Me
Creating a safe and supportive space for you to talk and be heard.
I am a qualified counsellor based in Horsham, working from a private, cosy garden office that offers a calm and comfortable space to talk.
At Your Listening Space, I provide a supportive and non-judgemental environment where you can explore what’s going on for you at your own pace.
My Approach
I work integratively, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches to meet your individual needs. This may include exploring how past experiences shape your present, developing tools to manage emotional challenges, or building deeper self-awareness and resilience.
Our sessions may include talking therapy, creative work using images or objects, or exploring the connection between the body and mind to deepen emotional understanding.
My approach is compassionate, down-to-earth and collaborative. I will not tell you what to do — instead, we explore what feels right for you and work towards meaningful, achievable change together.
Who I Work With
Teenagers
Adolescence brings rapid change and emotional intensity. I offer teenagers a safe space to express themselves, process difficult thoughts and feelings, and build emotional understanding and resilience.
Common areas include:
-
Anxiety, low mood and overwhelm
-
School and exam pressure
-
Friendships and peer relationships
-
Self-esteem and identity
-
Emotional regulation
-
ADHD-related challenges
-
Family dynamics and communication
Young Adults
Early adulthood brings big transitions — from education to work, growing independence, new pressures and important life decisions.
I support young adults with:
-
Career direction and workplace stress
-
Work–life balance and burnout
-
Imposter feelings and self-doubt
-
Anxiety, overthinking and low confidence
-
Relationship challenges
-
Life transitions and uncertainty
Parents & Carers
I work with parents and carers who are supporting young people through emotional challenges.
Counselling offers space to explore your concerns, understand what your child may be experiencing, improve communication, and feel more confident in supporting their wellbeing while also looking after your own.
My Experience & Background
Before training as a counsellor, I spent many years working in large corporate organisations in people-focused roles. This gave me real insight into workplace pressures, team dynamics, and emotional wellbeing, and sparked my passion for supporting young adults as they enter the working world — helping them manage expectations, build resilience, and feel confident in their choices.
I have also worked across a range of youth and mental health settings, including:
-
A teenage mental health charity, supporting young people with anxiety, emotional overwhelm and school-related pressures.
-
Work with teenagers with ADHD, helping them build self-awareness, confidence and coping strategies.
-
A young adult mental health charity, supporting people facing complex emotional challenges and life transitions.
-
Volunteering in a local secondary school in West Sussex, providing emotional wellbeing support to students.
These experiences allow me to work sensitively with both teenagers and young adults, as well as parents navigating family challenges.
Professional Standards
I hold an enhanced DBS certificate and I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), working within their Ethical Framework to ensure safe, professional and confidential practice
