Life can sometimes feel difficult to navigate alone.
It may look manageable from the outside, but inside there's a constant undercurrent of anxiety that you can't quite explain. You repeat unwanted behaviours that feel impossible to change.
Then, sometimes, along comes a life event. A trauma, a bereavement, a major life change that leaves you struggling to cope.
Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to make sense of it on your own.
I offer a calm, accepting space in my peaceful garden lodge in the heart of the New Forest, where you can gently untangle what's causing you distress.
Together, we'll gently work through any anxiety, loss of identity, disconnection, relationship problems or difficult past experiences, helping you move forward with greater confidence and ease.
Teenage years can feel confusing and overwhelming. Anxiety, friendship difficulties, family changes, low confidence or simply feeling misunderstood can leave young people feeling challenged and alone with what they're experiencing.
Alongside my work with adults, I offer counselling for young people from age 11, providing a calm, supportive space where they can begin to understand themselves and feel more able to cope with life's challenges.
Hi, I'm Kathy - a therapeutic counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counsellling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I work with adults and young people from age 11 in the New Forest, and across the UK online.
I spent years working in business, constantly striving and never quite feeling enough. Through my own counselling, I came to understand the deeper reasons behind those patterns and discovered that I could feel different.
That's one of the reasons I care so deeply about helping others make sense of themselves too.

Taking the first step towards counselling can feel like a big thing. You don't need to have the right words, know exactly what you need, or be certain it's the right time.
If part of you feels ready but another part isn't sure — that's a very normal place to be. You're welcome to get in touch for a 20-minute call to explore whether working together feels right for you.

Therapeutic counselling for adults and teenagers experiencing anxiety, emotional overwhelm, low self-esteem, bereavement, trauma and relationship difficulties.
