Hello, I'm Fee, I’m a qualified person-centred counsellor with experience across the social care sector, supporting individuals of all ages through life’s emotional complexities. Whether you're facing depression, burnout, relationship dynamics, anxiety, or suppressed emotions, I offer a calm and compassionate space where you can be truly heard.
Starting therapy can feel daunting, especially when life feels overwhelming. My approach is empowering, grounded, and respectful of your pace. I believe in your capacity to heal and grow, and I’ll Walk alongside you as you make sense of what’s heavy and reconnect with your emotional strength.
What You Might Be Navigating
You may find yourself:
• Feeling emotionally exhausted and unsure why
• Struggling with burnout or decision fatigue
• Questioning your relationships or personal boundaries
• Facing the weight of anxiety or depressive thoughts
• Navigating grief, loss, or life transitions
• Reacting to triggers tied to past experiences
In our sessions, we create a non-judgmental space where everything can be explored, gently, honestly, and at your own rhythm. My role is to help you untangle difficult emotions and develop tools for calm, clarity, and confidence.
My Therapeutic Approach
• Person-centred & collaborative: You lead the way; I support you with empathy and respect
• Warm and emotionally safe: I hold space for your feelings, without pressure to be anything but yourself
• Grounded & empowering: Together, we explore patterns and build new ways to feel more in control of your emotional world
Clients often say sessions feel like a quiet exhale, grounding, affirming, and gently challenging in a way that opens doors to insight and peace.
If you’re ready to take the first step, or even if you’re unsure, I’m here to walk beside you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
