Counselling in Horsham and Online
Feeling Stuck, overwhelmed or unsure what comes next?
Counselling for women in midlife who are questioning their direction, struggling with change or wondering where they've lost themselves along the way.
Perhaps from the outside everything looks fine but inside something doesn't feel right.
Maybe you're exhausted from holding everything together. Perhaps your career is no longer fulfilling, a relationship has changed, children have left home, you're facing menopause, redundancy, retirement or other life changes. Perhaps you are wondering:
is this what I really want?
You don't need to have all the answers before you come to counselling.
I offer counselling in Horsham and online throughout the UK. Together we can slow things down and explore what matters most to you.
I offer a free 20 minute online introductory session.
There is no obligation to continue. It's simply a chance for us to meet, talk about what's happening and see whether I am the right counsellor for you.
I understand what it can feel like to lose your sense of direction and wonder "what now?"
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent many years working in senior roles within large, high-pressure corporate organisations in London.
Those environments can demand a lot from us, and eventually I began to feel the cost of being there. I became confused about what I needed, disconnected, and uncertain about my direction. Through my own counselling journey, I discovered what truly mattered to me and found a different sense of direction.
That experience shaped my approach as a counsellor today. I work with people who may be going through a similar period of questioning, perhaps after years of putting work, relationships or family first.
You don't have to arrive with a clear plan. Sometimes the first step is having somewhere to be able to say
"I'm not sure what I want anymore."
If you’ve found your way here, you might be looking for someone to talk to, someone who listens and who hears you. I hope to be that person for you. You don't need to know what comes next. Counselling with me is calm, safe, and centred around you. We’ll work together at a pace that feels right, so you never feel rushed or pressured.
Each of us has our own story, shaped by our experiences, relationships, and the challenges we’ve faced. Sometimes life feels heavier than we expected. We can feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure of who we are or what we want. When the way we see ourselves doesn’t match how we’d like to feel, it can make us feel sad, anxious, angry, confused and other emotions that can be hard to face alone.
Counselling with me means you don’t have to face those feelings by yourself. You’ll have someone alongside you, supporting you as you explore what’s happening within and around you.
Counselling for women in midlife who are questioning their direction
When life has changed, the path ahead isn't clear or you feel something isn't quite right, you don't have to have all the answers before you begin. I offer calm person centered counselling face to face in Horsham and online throughout the UK helping you make sense of where you are, what matters to you and what might come next.
Outside Work
Outside of my counselling work, I’m a dog and cat mum. I love being outdoors hiking with my dog, skiing when I can, or catching up with friends. I’m also a big book lover.
Why work with me
I know how demanding life can become, especially when you are juggling a high pressure career, family, relationships and everything else that comes with everyday life. I know what it feels like to keep going while wondering if this is what you really want.
I often think of life as a book with completed chapters we know so well and the unknown chapters yet to be read. Maybe you’re worried about what’s in your next chapter? Maybe you’re stuck in one that feels too heavy right now? Or perhaps you’re curious about the relationships between the characters in your story. Wherever you are, I’m here to help you look at your story at your own pace.
You might be here because...
You have spent years looking after everyone else and have lost touch with what you need
Your career has stopped feeling meaningful, but you don't know what you want instead
A relationship has ended or changed and you're trying to work out who you are now
Your children have grown up and you're wondering what the next stage of your life looks like
You're going through menopause or other major life transition and don't quite recognise yourself anymore
You're facing redundancy, retirement or another unexpected change
Everything looks "fine" but you feel unhappy, anxious, overwhelmed or disconnected
You feel stuck but can't explain why
You're wondering if there is more to life than simply keeping everything going
My location
I offer online sessions for clients throughout the UK. I also offer face to face sessions from a private room in Horsham West Sussex.
Fees, availability and what happens next
Taking the first step to book a session with a counsellor can feel scary and the unknown can put us off trying. I have felt this way too and I remember what I needed: a simple and clear way to start. You can use the contact form below. I’ll get back in touch with some time options for you to pick. We will start with a 20minute meeting which will be held online. I don’t charge for this 20-minute meeting. From there we can decide if we want to work together.
If we decide to go ahead with counselling sessions, I offer sessions online throughout the UK and in person from my therapy room in Horsham, West Sussex
