About Me

Are you a parent trying to balance work, home life, and the constant demands of raising a tween or teen?
Do you feel overstretched, overwhelmed and like there’s never quite enough time or energy to go around?
When most of your focus goes into supporting others - children, partners, family - it’s all too easy to lose sight of your own needs. This can leave you feeling exhausted, frustrated and sad...like no one sees you.
You’re not alone.
I know what it’s like to put everyone else first and push through until it all feels too much. Over time, I’ve learned how boundaries, self-compassion and some practical strategies can make a meaningful difference. While I don’t have everything perfectly organised and I rely on lists and reminders, I'm better at noticing when I’m being too hard on myself and need a reset. This is something I support my clients with.
Everyone’s situation is different, but one thing many parents share is the pressure to hold everything together.
Counselling offers you the space to take a breath, make sense of what’s going on, and find clarity again.
I work with parents and carers of tweens and teens, helping them navigate the ups and downs of adolescence. Together, we look at what’s feeling stressful or stuck and explore practical, realistic strategies to improve communication, reduce conflict, and create more ease at home.
My approach is warm, down-to-earth and solution-focused. Our sessions are collaborative; we work at your pace and focus on what matters most to you. I offer single-session therapy as well as ongoing support, depending on what you need.
I’m based in Chichester, West Sussex, and I also offer online counselling, so we can work together wherever you are.
I have extensive experience supporting:
I create a safe, inclusive space for every client, regardless of background, culture or identity.
Supporting parents has become the core of my work. When parents feel more confident, steady, and better equipped, the whole family benefits. Sometimes, this involves understanding a child’s behaviour; other times, it means shifting long-standing patterns or simply providing a space to talk without holding everything in.
Counselling can help you regain perspective and make changes that support a happier, steadier family life.
