Compassionate counselling for adults in Chester, Cheshire, and online throughout the UK
I am a person-centred, trauma-informed counsellor in Chester, and I also work online nationwide. I offer you a compassionate space where you can make sense of what you've experienced, reconnect with yourself, and begin to find your way forward.
Karuna is a Sanskrit word often translated as compassion. A compassionate response to suffering and a wish to help ease it.


Has life changed you in ways you never expected?
I work with grief, bereavement, loss, anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, and relationships.
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”— Ralph Waldo Emerson
At the heart of counselling is the relationship we build together. Feeling safe, accepted and genuinely heard can create the space to explore what's happening for you and begin to make sense of your experiences. I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can bring whatever is on your mind. We'll explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at a pace that feels right for you, helping you gain clarity, develop a deeper understanding of yourself, and find a way forward that feels right.

Sometimes life can leave us feeling overwhelmed, lost, or simply unlike ourselves. You may be living with loss, navigating a difficult experience or life transition, or finding that your confidence and sense of self have changed along the way.
Counselling offers you space to slow down, talk openly, and make sense of what you're experiencing. I'll be alongside you, listening without judgement and working at a pace that feels right for you, as you begin to reconnect with yourself and find your way forward.

I have a particular passion for supporting people through the loss of a beloved companion animal. Pet bereavement was the focus of my Master's research, giving me a deeper understanding of a form of grief that is often overlooked or misunderstood. Our animals are family. The relationships we share with them can be deeply meaningful, and their loss can leave us feeling heartbroken, isolated, or misunderstood.
You don't have to minimise your loss or justify your grief. Here, it can be heard with compassion and without judgement.
