Adult Counselling in Stroud and online

Counselling offers a confidential and supportive space to explore what’s feeling difficult or overwhelming. I work with adults who are experiencing anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, trauma, or significant life changes.

I offer face-to-face sessions in Stroud and online counselling across the UK.

When might counselling help?

You might consider counselling if you are:

  • Feeling anxious, stressed, or persistently low
  • Struggling with relationships or family dynamics
  • Living with the effects of trauma or complex trauma (CPTSD)
  • Experiencing grief or loss
  • Facing a period of change, uncertainty, or transition
  • Feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of yourself

Sometimes there is a clear reason for seeking support. At other times, there is simply a sense that something isn’t quite right. Both are valid starting points.

How I work

My approach is relational and trauma-informed. I aim to offer a steady, respectful space where you can speak freely and at your own pace.

Sessions last 60 mins in face-to-face sessions and 50 mins online. We might focus on a specific issue, or take a broader and more exploratory approach, depending on what feels helpful. Therapy can be short-term and focused, or longer-term.

I work collaboratively, which means we check in together about what feels useful and adjust as needed.

Video and phone

Take advantage of technology and have the benefit of counselling at home. You can be comfy and relaxed, and it's great if you can't leave the house easily. I find video and phone counselling as good as face-to-face and it can be much more convenient. Like face-to-face counselling it can bring up intense feelings, so it's helpful to have time and space afterwards to think about what's happening and settle.
