Welcome — I’m glad you’re here.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply unsure where to begin, you don’t need to have the right words. You just need somewhere safe to land. I offer a warm, calm and accepting space where you can explore what’s happening for you at your own pace — whether that’s through email, SMS, or video counselling.
Specialising in text‑based counselling
Many people find it easier to express themselves in writing, especially if they’re neurodivergent, anxious, or prefer time to process before replying. Text‑based counselling can give you the space to think, reflect, and respond without pressure. It’s a gentle, thoughtful way of working that supports clarity, emotional regulation and deeper understanding.
Support that meets you where you are
Life can feel heavy at times — whether you’re navigating relationships, loss, change, anxiety, low self‑esteem, or simply a sense that things aren’t quite right. You don’t have to work through it alone. I offer counselling that is steady, compassionate and centred around you. There’s no judgement and no expectation that you need to arrive with everything figured out.
Counselling in Seaham and across County Durham
I’m based in Seaham and support clients across County Durham, including Peterlee, Sunderland and surrounding areas. All sessions are online or text‑based, so you can access counselling from wherever feels most comfortable and safe for you.
A space where you can be yourself
My role is to listen, to understand, and to walk alongside you as you make sense of what you’re experiencing. Together, we can explore what matters most to you and find a way forward that feels gentle, manageable and true to who you are.
