Areas of focus
I work with individuals from all backgrounds and stages of life. Although I have specialised areas of focus, I am not limited to them. Whatever you’re carrying, we can explore it together in a safe and supportive space.
You may be navigating one or more of the following:
Pregnancy, motherhood and shifts in identity
Feeling changed, stretched, or unsure of who you are now.
Difficult or emotionally unsafe relationships
Feeling unheard, controlled, or as though you are walking on eggshells.
Burnout, overwhelm and emotional depletion
When coping feels exhausting and rest never feels enough.
People pleasing and self worth struggles
Putting others first at the cost of your own needs.
Grief and loss
Whether recent, unresolved, or quietly carried for years.
Big life transitions
Changes that leave you feeling unsettled, uncertain, or disconnected.
Challenging habits and patterns
Repeating cycles you want to understand and gently shift.
Whatever brings you here, your experience matters. You do not have to carry it alone. Counselling can be a space where you are met with care, curiosity, and understanding, moving at a pace that feels right for you.
Pregnancy, Motherhood & Shifts in Identity
As a mother myself, I can understand how pregnancy and motherhood can bring profound change.
Alongside love and joy, you may also feel stretched, overwhelmed, or unsure of who you are now. Your body, relationships, priorities, and sense of self can shift in ways you didn’t expect.
It’s common to grieve parts of your old life and I understand that.
In counselling, we explore these transitions whilst helping you reconnect with who you were, while embracing who you’re becoming as a mum.
Difficult or Emotionally Unsafe Relationships
Relationships can shape how you feel about yourself in quiet but powerful ways. If something feels off, like you’re second-guessing yourself or trying too hard to keep the peace, it can slowly leave you feeling unsettled and unsure.
Over time, that kind of experience can blur your sense of what’s real, especially when your reactions aren’t met with understanding.
I hear you!
At The Listening Rooms we offer a safe and steady space to gently explore your experiences.
I can help you build clarity, strengthen your sense of self and support you in understanding your needs, boundaries, and options moving forward.
People-Pleasing & Self-Worth Struggles
Are you guilty of being a YES (wo)man when all you want to say is NO?
Do you feel responsible for everyone else’s comfort and happiness? Do you give to everyone else but yourself?
If this sounds like you, over time this will come at the cost of your own needs and boundaries.
People-pleasing often grows from a deep desire to be accepted, valued, or to avoid conflict.
This can leave you feeling resentful, overlooked, or unsure of what you truly want.
You might struggle with guilt when asserting yourself or question whether your needs are “too much.”
If this is something that has been affecting you, we can start by discovering where these patterns began and go from there.
Remember little steps leads to big steps.
Challenging Habits and Patterns
How often to we find ourselves repeating the same cycles, even when they no longer serve us?
These patterns can show up in relationships, work, self-care, or ways of thinking and reacting.
Over time, they can leave you feeling frustrated, stuck, or unsure why things keep happening the way they do.
Rest assured that nearly everyone on the planet is guilty of this.
It’s common to struggle with guilt, self-judgment, or a sense of powerlessness when habits feel beyond your control.
In counselling, we explore these patterns and understand what drives them. We uncover the beliefs or experiences behind them.
Together, we can support you in making shifts that feel sustainable, empowering, and more aligned with the life and person you want to be.
Grief & Loss
Grief can take shape in many forms.
If you are experiencing a recent loss, or it may be something you’ve carried quietly for years-I got you!
I have been where you are. Some days you want to talk and some days you don’t. You may want to stay in bed and hide under the covers or you may be having a good day and even laugh, and then feeling bad for laughing.
Grief and loss comes in waves and you never know when it’s coming. You're either riding the wave or you feel you have been knocked over by a mammoth wave and swallowed a tone of salt water.
Loss isn’t always limited to death. It can include the end of a relationship, a change in health, unmet expectations, or the life you once imagined.
Grief doesn’t move in a straight line. It can show up as sadness, anger, numbness, guilt, or even relief. At times it may feel overwhelming; at others, it may sit quietly in the background.
Together, we can gently process what has been lost, making meaning of your feelings, and support you in carrying your grief in a way that feels less heavy and more integrated into your life.
Big Life Transitions
Life transitions, whether expected or unexpected, can leave you feeling unsettled or disconnected from yourself.
This might include career changes, relationship shifts, relocation, becoming a parent, children leaving home, or changes in health or identity.
Even positive change can bring stress and self-doubt.
You may feel in-between versions of yourself, unsure of what’s next or questioning your direction.
If this sounds like you, a good place to start is to reflect on where you’ve been, where you are now, and where you’d like to move towards in the future.
We can explore your values and discuss tools to help ground and calm you.
At The Listening Rooms we offer support and a non-judgemental ear whilst navigating changes with greater clarity and positivity.
Burnout, Overwhelm & Emotional Depletion
There are times when coping itself feels exhausting and you are not alone.
You may be getting through each day, but underneath it all feel drained, irritable, detached, or even close to tears.
You may be unable to sleep due to a racing mind or rest might not feel restorative, and even small tasks can seem heavy.
Burnout can build quietly, particularly when you’re used to being a capable, responsible, and “holding it together” for others kind of person.
Over time, the constant pressure can leave you feeling depleted and unsure how to reset.
Together, we can slowly unpack the heavy mental load and find sustainable ways to restore your energy, boundaries, and emotional capacity.
