Welcome to LSF Counselling. I offer a supportive, confidential environment to explore life's challenges through a tailored, integrative approach.
Every journey begins with a single word.

About Me
"Creating a space where you feel truly heard."
I am an Integrative counsellor, currently completing my Masters degree (dissertation in progress). My portfolio and assignments are complete, and I am fully qualified to practice.
My background includes a BA Hons in Sociology and a PGCE, bringing a unique academic and educational perspective to my therapeutic work. I believe in creating a non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely.

In Progress
Portfolio and assignments completed. Ready to support your mental health journey.
Currently undertaking my Masters dissertation, ensuring practice is informed by latest research.
I believe that good counsellors are lifelong learners. When I'm not in the therapy room, you'll often find me with my nose in a book—whether that's exploring new therapeutic approaches, delving into a novel, or simply recharging with a good story.
This love of learning and curiosity about the human experience informs my practice every day, helping me bring fresh perspectives and deep empathy to our work together.
A quiet, welcoming space just for you. Together, we can gently explore what is on your mind at a pace that feels comfortable.
A warm, nurturing circle where you can connect with others who understand. A place to share, reflect, and feel gently held.
Drawing gently from different therapeutic paths to create something that feels right for you. No two journeys are ever the same.
"Your journey to wellness starts here."
My Approach
Integrative counselling means I draw on techniques and theories from a variety of therapeutic models. Rather than sticking to just one method, I tailor my work to each individual client — because no two journeys are the same.
CBT
Practical strategies for thought patterns.
Person-Centred
Empathy and unconditional support.
Psychodynamic
Exploring past experiences & patterns.
Mindfulness
Present moment awareness & grounding.
Reach Out

What you share in sessions is treated as confidential. There are a small number of legal and ethical exceptions — for example, where there is a serious risk of harm to you or to someone else, or where disclosure is required by law. I will always aim to discuss this with you first wherever it is safe and possible to do so, and we will go through it together before we begin working.
Writing
Occasional writing on counselling, mental wellbeing, and the things that come up when people finally give themselves permission to talk.
Finding my way back to life.
There are moments that divide life into ‘before’ and ‘after’. For me, it was the sentence ‘You have a colloid cyst and hydrocephalus. I recommend that you have surgery as soon as possible’.

If something you read lands close to home, that's often worth exploring properly with someone — you're welcome to get in touch.

Your Information
Last updated: [TO CONFIRM: date]
Counselling involves trust, and that includes trusting me with your personal information. This notice explains what I collect, why I collect it, how it is looked after, and what rights you have. It is written to meet the requirements of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
LSF Counselling is the data controller for the personal information described in this notice.
The message box is optional and deliberately open. You do not need to describe your circumstances in detail at this stage, and I would encourage you not to — a short note is enough for me to get back to you, and we can talk properly once we are in contact.
Information about your physical or mental health is treated as “special category” data under UK GDPR. It is given a higher level of protection, and I only collect what is genuinely needed.
This website does not use cookies, analytics or advertising trackers, and it does not build a profile of you. Some resources on the page (web fonts and a styling library) are loaded from third-party providers, which means your IP address and browser information are visible to those providers as part of delivering those files. Nothing is stored on your device by this site.
I will not use your information for marketing, and I will not add you to a mailing list.
What you share is treated as confidential. There are a small number of exceptions where I may need to pass information on without your consent:
Wherever it is safe and possible, I will talk to you first before sharing anything.
Like all counsellors working to professional standards, I discuss my work in regular clinical supervision. Supervision is itself confidential, and clients are discussed anonymously.
I keep this list as short as I can. The following providers process information on my behalf:
These providers are based in or transfer data to the United States. Those transfers are covered by the UK's international data transfer safeguards, including the UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses, depending on the provider.
Your information is never sold, and it is never shared for advertising.
Under UK data protection law you have the right to:
To exercise any of these, email lsfcounsellinggroup@gmail.com. I will respond within one month. There is no charge.
Withdrawing consent will not affect anything already done on the basis of that consent, and some records may need to be kept where I have a legal or professional obligation to retain them.
If you are unhappy with how your information has been handled, please contact me first — I would rather put it right. You also have the right to complain directly to the Information Commissioner's Office:
If this notice changes, the updated version will be published on this page with a new date at the top. Where the change is significant and affects current clients, I will tell you directly.
Your enquiry has been received. Reaching out is often the hardest part, and I'm glad you did.
I'll get back to you as soon as I can, usually within a couple of working days. If you'd rather speak sooner, you're welcome to text me on 07404 554896.
