Hello and welcome.

I’m Ed and in counselling I can help you to explore the issues that impact your ability to live and enjoy your life to the fullest, in the hopes that you can begin to have more better days.

I’m a fully qualified counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). The BACP’s Ethical Framework informs my therapeutic approach, ensuring our work is conducted professionally and safely, while maintaining a good standard of practice.

I currently offer sessions in person, online, and over the phone.

At times life can seem tough. Maybe you feel like you’re stuck in a rut or that you’re lacking purpose. Perhaps something has happened, everything has changed but you weren’t quite ready.

It feels difficult reaching out to those around you; especially when you’re left feeling frustrated, unheard, and misunderstood. You don’t have to cope all by yourself; it’s normal to feel this way sometimes, and it’s OK to ask for help.

Step out from under the clouds...

Seeking support for our challenges can bring clarity to our lives but can also be overwhelming and confusing. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help, so well done for getting this far. Whether you choose counselling with me or with someone else, I hope you get the help you need.

If you'd like to arrange an initial session or have any other questions, please email me or give me a call.

How we'll work.

The therapy you’ll experience with me is person-centred, focusing on your needs and experiences. It's based on the humanistic belief that under the right circumstances, everyone has the natural capacity to heal and thrive.

In our counselling sessions, I create a warm and understanding space where you can freely express yourself, knowing you'll be truly heard and accepted.

We will work together focusing on what matters most to you. Our goal is to help you take charge of your own life, making choices and decisions that feel right for you, without anyone else's interference or influence.

I'm here to support you in overcoming challenges in a way that feels true to who you are, empowering you to embrace your strengths and what makes you, you!

What people often come to talk about

Anxiety
You might feel on edge, restless, or constantly worried; even when there’s no clear reason why. It can show up in your body, thoughts, or sleep, and feel like you're stuck in “fight or flight” mode.

How counselling can help:
We can work together to make sense of what’s behind the anxiety and find ways to manage it, so it doesn’t control your day-to-day life.

Low Mood or Depression
You might feel flat, disconnected, or like you're just going through the motions. Even things you used to enjoy might feel like a struggle, and small tasks can feel like mountains to climb.

How counselling can help:
Counselling gives you space to talk about how you’re feeling without pressure or judgment. Over time, it can help you reconnect with yourself and find a way forward. You don’t have to face this alone.

Relationship Difficulties
Whether with a partner, family member, or friend, you may feel misunderstood, stuck in conflict, or unsure how to fix communication issues or trust problems.

How counselling can help:
Together, we can unpack the patterns playing out in your relationships and understand how past experiences may be affecting current dynamics. Counselling can help you communicate more clearly, set boundaries, and feel more connected in the ways that matter.

Grief and Loss
Whether it’s someone you’ve lost or a big life change, grief can be heavy and confusing. It can affect your mood, energy, and sense of direction and leave you wondering if life will ever feel normal again.

How counselling can help:
There’s no right way to grieve. Counselling offers time and space to talk about your loss and how you’re coping. We can also explore ways to carry the memory of what was lost with care and compassion.

Loneliness
You might feel like no one really sees or understands you, even if you’re around people. Loneliness isn’t just about being alone.

How counselling can help:
Counselling offers a space where you can be truly seen and heard. Together, we can explore your experiences of connection, understand what you need from relationships, and gently rebuild a sense of belonging, starting with yourself.

Stress and Burnout
When life’s demands feel constant, you might feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or like there’s no room to breathe. Burnout can leave you feeling detached, irritable, or physically unwell.

How counselling can help:
Counselling can help you step back, look at what’s going on, and find ways to manage stress that actually work for you.

Low Self-Esteem
You might feel like you’re not good enough, or doubt yourself even when others don’t. You may be overly self-critical, or constantly comparing yourself to others. It can affect your confidence, choices, and relationships.

How counselling can help:
Together we can explore where those beliefs come from, and start building a more balanced, kinder view of yourself over time.

Big Life Changes
Changes like moving, job shifts, breakups, or becoming a parent can feel disorienting, even when they’re “meant” to be positive. You may feel lost, anxious, or unsure what comes next.

How counselling can help:
Together, we can make sense of what this transition means for you. Counselling gives you space to process what’s changing and figure out how to navigate the new phase in a way that feels more settled.

Identity and Self-Discovery
You might be unsure who you are anymore, feel like parts of you are changing, becoming unsure with what you believe and how you want to live. That can be confusing, especially if it doesn’t feel safe to explore openly.

How counselling can help:
You can use counselling to explore questions about who you are, what matters to you, and how you want to live, without judgment.

Anger and Frustration
You may find yourself snapping at others, bottling things up, or feeling like emotions spill over. It’s ok to feel angry, but sometimes anger can feel hard to control.

How counselling can help:
We can look at what’s underneath the anger, and find better ways of understanding and expressing it without it damaging your relationships or wellbeing.

Shame and Guilt
You might carry a sense that you’re flawed, broken, or “too much.” Shame and guilt can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or afraid of being seen.

How counselling can help:
Counselling gives you a space to talk about these feelings openly. Where we can start to separate your mistakes or past experiences from your sense of worth.

People-Pleasing and Boundaries
You might struggle to say no, avoid conflict, or put everyone else’s needs before your own. It can leave you feeling drained or resentful.

How counselling can help:
Together, we can explore what’s behind that pattern and find ways to start setting boundaries that feel right for you; without the guilt.

Past Trauma or Childhood Wounds
Experiences from the past might still affect how you react, relate to others, or feel about yourself; even if you thought you'd moved on.

How counselling can help:
Counselling offers a safe place to look at what happened and how it’s shaped you, and to start healing in a way that feels manageable.

Feeling Stuck or Lost
You might not know exactly what’s wrong, just that something doesn’t feel quite right. You may feel disconnected or unsure what you’re doing things for.

How counselling can help:
Counselling gives you time to reflect, get to know yourself better, and explore what direction you want things to go in, even when you don’t have the answers yet.

Difficult Decisions
You may be facing a big choice and feel stuck, scared of making the wrong move, or unsure what you really want.

How counselling can help:
Counselling won’t give you the “right” answer, but it can help you work through your thoughts and feelings, so you feel clearer and more confident about your next step.
