New Start Counselling and Psychotherapy
Counselling Services
At New Start Counselling and Psychotherapy, I specialise in providing counselling services for females aged 14 and above. My mission is to empower women to live their lives to the fullest, embracing authenticity and self-discovery. Through our sessions, I aim to create a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their emotions, confront challenges, and pursue their aspirations. Together, we work towards building resilience and confidence, empowering each individual to navigate life's journey with strength and authenticity.
Counselling for Teenagers
Hey there, teens and parents! Let's talk about those rollercoaster teenage years, shall we? It's a time filled with all sorts of changes and hurdles that can sometimes feel like a whirlwind. From school stress to figuring out who you are, dealing with ups and downs in friendships, and battling those inner doubts – it's all part of the journey.
But here's the thing – you're not alone in this. Counselling can be your safe space, a place where you can talk openly about what's going on in your life. Together, we can tackle those challenges head-on and come up with strategies to overcome them.
As a mum of teenagers myself, I get it. I understand the ups and downs that both teens and parents face. So whether you're a teen struggling to find your place or a parent navigating these turbulent years alongside your child, know that there's support here for you. Let's navigate this journey together.
Counselling for Females
As a woman myself, I deeply understand the unique perspective we bring to life. We face a myriad of challenges as we juggle the complexities of relationships, fulfill various caregiving roles, and navigate the roles of mothers, sisters, friends, and confidants. It's no secret that sometimes, it can feel like a daunting task to balance everything life throws our way.
​
But fear not, because counselling is here to provide you with a safe and supportive space. Here, you can freely share your story and explore effective strategies to support your mental health journey. You don't have to navigate these challenges alone – together, we can empower each other to thrive.

Counselling for Parents
Parenting is undeniably one of life's most challenging roles. We often perceive other parents as having it all together, but the reality is, there's no such thing as perfect parenting. As a single parent of teenagers myself, I intimately understand the trials and tribulations of this journey. We often seek support from well-meaning family and friends, only to find advice that doesn't resonate with who we are. It's a tough road to navigate, but over the years, I've discovered positive strategies that can help you become more engaged, confident, and connected parents.
​
Counselling offers a supportive space where you can gain the tools and insights needed to navigate the ups and downs of parenting. Together, we can explore effective strategies tailored to your unique parenting style, helping you foster stronger connections with your children and navigate the parenting journey with greater confidence and resilience.
Supporting females through life changes and diagnoses
Embarking on the journey of life changes can feel like navigating uncharted waters, particularly for women facing transitions such as empty nest syndrome, diagnoses, divorce, retirement, or the challenges of raising teenagers. These shifts often herald significant transformations, accompanied by a mix of emotions including grief and loss.
As a counsellor specialising in supporting women through life-altering events such as MS diagnosis, I offer a nurturing space for females to explore and navigate these transitions. Together, we uncover resilience, strength, and the potential for new beginnings amidst the upheaval.
Whether you're adjusting to an empty nest, grappling with a diagnosis like MS, navigating the complexities of divorce, embracing retirement, or guiding teenagers through their formative years, know that compassionate guidance and practical strategies await you here. Let's embark on this journey together, finding inner peace, redefining purpose, and embracing the opportunities for growth and renewal that accompany life's inevitable transformations.
