Heal Your Past, Create Your Future 

I help you heal from the past, understand who you are beneath it, release emotional ties & finally feel safe enough to fully be your authentic self 

Therapy For those who are Self-aware but still stuck  Stoke-On-Trent & Online

When I became a mum I knew I had to unpack my past to break unwanted patterns for myself & my son.

I now guide others to heal from their past, unlearn unwanted patterns, rediscover who they are at their core & build a future that feels authentic to their true self.

This isn’t just talking therapy.

We work with your nervous system, your patterns, & the parts of you that haven’t felt safe to be seen, so change actually happens.

Does this sound familiar?

  • You’re self-aware, but still feel stuck in the same patterns

  • You often doubt your own judgment

  • You feel emotionally drained after certain interactions

  • You struggle to trust yourself or others

  • You notice yourself repeating relationship dynamics you don’t want

  • You sense that childhood wounds are still shaping how you relate to others & yourself

  • You want to move forward after a toxic or abusive relationship, but don’t know how

  • You feel disconnected or just don’t know who you truly are 

If you’re ready to go beyond self-awareness and fully process unresolved emotions so your nervous system can finally feel safe and at peace, I would love to support you 

Why Choose
Relight Counselling?

Specialist Support for What You’re Facing

From anxiety and stress to trauma recovery, loss, and personal growth, our counsellors specialise in the areas that matter most to you. You deserve support that’s tailored to your unique challenges — not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Confidential, Evidence-Based Practice

Your privacy and wellbeing come first. Each session is conducted in a confidential, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences safely. Our methods are grounded in evidence-based practice and designed to create long-term, positive change.

    My Commitment to You

    I work with your nervous system, not against it; so the process feels safe, steady, & contained.

    We move at a pace that respects where you are

    I won’t position myself as the expert of you. Instead, this is a collaborative process where you reconnect with your own inner understanding & sense of direction.

    This work goes beyond insight —it focuses on gently working with the deeper patterns, defences, and emotional experiences that keep you stuck.

    Above all, I hold your best interests at the centre of everything we do.


    Relight Your
    Authentic Shine

    My personal counselling framework to relight your authentic shine consist of 3 vital pillars:

    Explore

    With your counsellor, you will explore both current and past issues. There will likely be themes or patterns that emerge. Through psychodynamic tools, the unconscious will be brought to light — which often reveals the root of the present issue(s).

    Empower

    Your counsellor is your guide and will help you put the pieces together so that you can gain greater awareness. This new level of insight is empowering, as it helps you feel more in control. The main focus is for you to gain insight with the support of your counsellor, thereby increasing your confidence and sense of empowerment.

    Embody

    From exploring your experiences to empowering you with new insights, psychodynamic counselling supports you in embodying real transformation. By working through unconscious patterns and deeply rooted emotions, you’ll integrate these changes into your daily life. This allows you to live with greater authenticity, self-awareness, and a deeper connection to your true self.

    Are you self-aware but still stuck?
    Here’s why

    this is why you are self aware but still stuck

    I call it the “cognitive box”  & this explains why you’re still stuck!

    You can make cognitive sense of your patterns & your triggers 

    You understand the why but still don’t know how to change 

    Awareness is the first step but staying there keeps us stuck

    Many are so self- aware the “deal” with the experience by putting it in a “cognitive box” full of understanding BUT disconnect 

    Staying in your head & seeking more awareness is not processing 

    Its creating more disconnect between the mind & body

    So if you think you’re too self-aware for therapy I would love to support you.
