Simple. Honest. Yours.

You talk, we listen.
No scripts, no jargon. Just a real conversation with someone trained to hear what you're actually saying - and support that's shaped around you.At your pace.
There's no timeline. Some people come for a few sessions, some for longer. You decide what feels right.No crisis required.
You don't need to be falling apart to deserve support. Feeling stuck, flat, or overwhelmed is enough.

I am an integrative counsellor with a person-centred foundation, offering a warm, supportive, and confidential space where you can talk openly about whatever is troubling you.I believe that everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and valued. My approach is centred on building a genuine therapeutic relationship where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace, without judgement.I work with adults facing a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and life transitions. Together, we can make sense of what you are experiencing and find a way forward that feels right for you.I founded Offload following my counselling training, during which I met many people who simply needed a safe space to unburden themselves before they could begin to understand what they were thinking and feeling.Those experiences reinforced my belief in the value of being truly listened to and inspired me to create a place where people feel supported, accepted, and empowered to explore whatever is on their mind.

Do I need to know what I want to talk about?No.You don’t need to arrive with everything worked out, and you don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong.Sometimes you just know that something doesn’t feel right, you’re feeling stuck, or you need somewhere to put everything that’s been going on.We can start there.What happens in the first session?We’ll spend some time getting to know each other and talking about what has brought you to therapy.You can share as much or as little as you’re comfortable with.We’ll also talk about what you might want from therapy and how we can work together.There’s no test to pass and no right thing to say.How often will I have therapy?This depends on you, your circumstances and what we’re working on together.Weekly sessions are often helpful, particularly at the beginning, but fortnightly sessions may also be appropriate.We’ll talk about what feels manageable and useful for you.

How long will I need therapy?There isn’t a fixed answer.Some people come for a few sessions to work through something specific. Others choose to stay longer when they need more space to explore things in greater depth.We’ll regularly check in about how things are going.You decide what feels right for you.Do I need to be in crisis to have therapy?Absolutely not.You don’t need to be falling apart to deserve support.Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, unhappy, anxious or simply not quite yourself is enough.You don’t have to wait until things become unbearable.What can I come to therapy for?People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons.This can include anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, life changes, feeling stuck, or simply wanting a space to understand themselves better.You don’t need a neat label or diagnosis to get started.
