Welcome to my blog, where I share professional insights and practical guidance on mental health topics that matter to you and your family. As a specialist counsellor based in Newbury, Berkshire, I'm passionate about making mental health support accessible and understandable. Over the coming months, I'll be developing this space with thoughtful articles exploring the latest developments in counselling and psychotherapy, practical advice for those considering therapy, and evidence-based guidance on managing anxiety, building resilience, and navigating life's challenges. My first article explores social anxiety in teenagers – a topic close to my heart as I regularly work with young people and families facing these difficulties.

Thank you for joining me here – I look forward to sharing more valuable insights with you soon.
