Person-Centred Counselling Grimsby

Reaching out for counselling can feel like a big step, especially when life already feels heavy or confusing. You might be carrying anxiety, low mood, overwhelm, self‑doubt, or a sense that you’ve lost touch with who you are. Perhaps you’re navigating a life change, grieving a loss, or simply feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward. Whatever has brought you here, you don’t have to face it alone.

I offer a warm, grounded and compassionate space where you can slow down, breathe, and explore your thoughts and feelings at your pace. My approach is rooted in the person‑centred ethos - a belief in your capacity for growth, clarity and self‑understanding when you’re met with genuine empathy and acceptance. Alongside this, I integrate principles from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), supporting you to relate to difficult thoughts and emotions with more openness and kindness, while gently reconnecting with what truly matters to you.

My Experience
I have experience supporting adults with anxiety, stress, low mood, depression, self‑esteem difficulties, chronic health conditions, caring responsibilities, trauma, and the emotional toll of living with ongoing challenges. My background includes working within NHS Talking Therapies, supporting unpaid carers, and working as a social prescriber with people living with chronic pain and long‑term health conditions. These experiences have deepened my respect for the resilience people hold, even in the most difficult circumstances.

What Therapy With Me Is Like

People often tell me they appreciate my calm presence and the sense of safety they feel in our sessions. I won’t rush you or push you into places you’re not ready to go. Instead, we work at your pace, exploring your inner world with curiosity and care. From there, we can begin to make sense of what you’re carrying, notice patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and create space for new possibilities to emerge.

Therapy with me is a collaborative process - a space where you can be fully yourself, without judgement or pressure. You don’t need to arrive with the “right” words or a clear plan. We begin exactly where you are, and together we explore what feels important, painful, confusing or hopeful.

How I Offer Therapy
You’re welcome to work with me in a way that suits your life. I offer in‑person sessions from a quiet, private space in Grimsby (DN32), as well as online therapy across the UK. Many people find online sessions helpful when balancing work, caring responsibilities, health or mobility needs. I also offer evening and weekend appointments to provide flexibility around busy schedules.
