Integrative Counselling for Adults in Leek and Online
Counselling for anxiety, low self-esteem and emotional overwhelm — supporting real change, not just short-term coping
I offer a warm, person-centred space where clients often feel relief early on, and then continue working to build lasting confidence, emotional resilience and healthier relationships with themselves and others.

Reaching out for counselling can feel daunting — especially if you’re unsure what to say or whether your struggles are “serious enough.” You don’t need to have everything figured out before getting in touch. Many people come feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or simply tired of carrying things alone. We can take things at your pace, starting with a free 30-minute consultation where there’s no pressure or obligation — just a chance to talk, ask questions, and see if working together feels right for you.
Many clients notice some relief within the first few sessions. We then use this increased steadiness as a foundation to explore deeper patterns, emotional blocks and self-beliefs that often sit underneath anxiety or low mood.
While the pace is always guided by you, clients commonly choose to work with me for 8–16 sessions or longer, allowing time for reflection, integration and meaningful change — not just symptom reduction.
Is this the right therapy for me?
-
You want more than coping strategies alone
-
You’re curious about understanding why anxiety or low mood keeps returning
-
You value a steady, relational approach rather than quick fixes
-
You’re open to ongoing self-reflection and emotional growth
Anxiety is often a sign that something inside you needs attention, safety or understanding. In our work together, we don’t just aim to reduce anxious feelings — we explore what they’re protecting, what they’re responding to, and how you can build a more trusting relationship with yourself over time.
I recommend beginning with a commitment of at least 6 sessions, as this allows time to build trust and notice meaningful shifts. Many clients then choose to continue for further sessions to consolidate changes and deepen the work.
Clients often experience therapy in three phases:
-
Stabilisation & understanding – feeling heard, calmer, less overwhelmed
-
Exploration & change – recognising patterns, building confidence, emotional processing
-
Integration – strengthening new ways of relating to yourself and others

Starting counselling is an investment in yourself, and choosing the right counsellor really matters. A strong, trusting relationship can make all the difference.
