How I work

Welcome, I'm Rose. Taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting — but you don’t have to do it alone. If you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in low mood, or simply not like yourself, I’m here to help. 

I offer a warm, down-to-earth space where you can pause, breathe, and begin to make sense of whatever you’re going through. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges or struggling with self-esteem, I will walk alongside you with compassion, curiosity and care. I work integratively, with a foundation in person-centred therapy, adapting our sessions to meet your unique needs.

Who I Help

You may have arrived here as you are feeling unsure of yourself, doubting your abilities, or quietly believing you’re "not enough". This may be a recent or longstanding sensation and feels like carrying an invisible weight. Anxiety, low self-esteem or life changes (perhaps navigating your menopause transition) can affect your relationship with yourself and others, work, studying, public performances and social situations or even how you go about your day. You want to feel more confident, reconnect with your true self, express yourself freely (without fear of judgement) and move through life with clarity, self-belief and ease. I work with adults through to post retirement. 

I also help with general anxiety disorders, grief, survivors of abuse, performance anxiety, negative thinking, depression, relationship and trust issues.

Whether you choose in-person or online counselling, you don’t have to face things alone. I offer a warm, understanding space where you can feel truly heard. Together, we’ll gently explore what’s troubling you and work towards healing, hope and growth. If you’re ready to talk, I’m here to listen. Book a free, informal chat today.
