A cozy living room corner featuring a light gray armchair with black metal legs, decorated with a white pillow that reads 'Time to relax' in black cursive. A small white side table with a speckled mug labeled 'Relax' and a beige napkin. A green cabinet with a clock, a glass jar with reed diffusers, and a patterned tissue box sits behind the armchair. The floor is wooden, and the wall in the background is painted dark green.

Counselling for young adults

Being a young adult can bring a lot of change. You might be navigating university, work, relationships, independence or decisions about your future, while trying to work out who you are and what you want from life.

Sometimes things that once felt manageable can start to feel overwhelming. Counselling can provide a space to step back, make sense of what's happening and explore what you need.

My aim is to offer a warm, accepting and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about what's going on, without feeling that you have to have everything figured out.

Who is this for?

You might come to counselling because you're struggling with something specific, or because you simply know that things don't feel quite right.

  • Anxiety and excessive worry

  • Low mood or depression

  • Low self-esteem and confidence

  • Relationship or friendship difficulties

  • Identity and questions about who you are

  • Changes or uncertainty about the future

  • University, work or other pressures

  • Phobias

  • Neurodiversity and experiences of feeling different

  • Difficult thoughts or feelings that are hard to manage

Whatever brings you here, we can take the time to understand what's happening and think together about what might help.

Meeting your needs

My approach is grounded in person-centred counselling, which means we'll work at your pace and build a trusting therapeutic relationship. You don't need to know exactly what you want to talk about, and there is no expectation that you'll have everything figured out before we begin.

I'll listen without judgement and work alongside you to explore what's happening, rather than telling you what you should do.

Where appropriate, I may also draw on CBT techniques to help you understand the relationship between your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and develop practical strategies for managing things that feel difficult.

A space that’s yours

Whether you're dealing with something you've been struggling with for a long time or something that's happened more recently, we'll take time to understand what you need.

Counselling can be a place to say things out loud that you might not feel able to say elsewhere, explore different perspectives and begin to understand yourself a little better.

You set the pace. We decide together what feels useful to explore, and you can always let me know if something doesn't feel right.

Ready to talk?

You don't need to know exactly what to say when you get in touch. We can use a free introductory video call to talk about what's been happening, answer any questions you have and see whether counselling with me feels like the right fit.

There's no pressure or obligation to continue. It's simply an opportunity for us to have a conversation and decide what feels right for you.
