in-person and online counselling based in woodley, reading and Henley

Welcome to

New Direction Therapies


Providing nonjudgmental support online, by phone, or in person in Woodley, Reading, Berkshire, and Henley-on-Thames.

Do you often feel overwhelmed, overthink every situation, or find yourself catastrophizing the worst possible outcomes?

Anxiety, insecurity, and low self-esteem can make even everyday challenges feel impossible to manage, leaving you exhausted, restless, and unable to sleep. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to face it alone.

I can help you make sense of these feelings, understand why they arise, and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

Together, we’ll work on strategies to bring calm, balance, and a renewed sense of control to your life.

You deserve to feel confident and at peace. Let’s take the first step together.

Compassionate, Professional Counselling to Support Your Well-Being

Located in Woodley, Reading, I also see clients in Henley-on-Thames at the Cherry Tree Centre.

I understand firsthand how powerful it can be to talk through your feelings. My own experience of finding a safe, nonjudgmental space to express my emotions made a profound difference in my life. It helped me build a foundation for a brighter, more peaceful future—and inspired me to help others do the same.

With three years of dedicated training as a counsellor, I have made it my mission to support individuals in understanding their emotions and unlocking their full potential.

In addition to running my private practice, I have spent many years working in education, supporting young people and adults with their mental health and personal development. I have also had the privilege of working as a Counsellor in a local hospice, guiding individuals of all ages through grief, anxiety, and depression with care and understanding.

These experiences have given me the skills and insight to help you and your family navigate the challenges you may be facing. Whether you’re struggling with overwhelming emotions, anxiety, loss, or simply seeking clarity, counselling can provide the tools to restore balance, regain control, and move forward with confidence.

If you’re ready to take the first step toward a calmer, more fulfilling life, I am here to support you.

You don’t have to go through this alone. Let’s begin this journey together.

My Qualifications

  • Level 5 Prof Dip in Psychotherapeutic Counselling Practise MNCPS (Acc)
  • Level 4 Dip in Counselling Skills and Theory
  • Dip in Hypnotherapy and Counselling Skills

Your counselling will be held in a comfortable space. Whether online, on the phone, or face-to-face, you will have the opportunity to explore your feelings sensitively without judgment.

Together we can explore any hurdle.

My Approach

As a pluralistic counsellor, I draw upon various therapeutic styles to tailor your therapy to suit your needs. What suits another person may not suit you.

The key to a successful counselling experience is not the training, but building a relationship where we can work together so you can feel comfortable enough to be able to explore and unpack your feelings, in a non-judgmental space. I can help you navigate through the hard times, learning coping strategies to help you to your desired outcome.
