​Counselling is like a cove - a sheltered space amid life’s rough seas. Just as a cove offers protection from crashing waves, counselling provides refuge from stress, anxiety, and emotional turmoil. It’s a place to pause, breathe, and find clarity. Like the steady rhythm of waves against the shore, a counsellor’s support can offer reassurance, helping to steady the mind and heart. Even in life’s most turbulent moments, there is safety, understanding, and healing to be found.

 

I created The Counselling Cove to offer that safe harbour. Sometimes, stepping back can change everything. You might reflect and adjust course, gather new tools to face challenges, or simply rest and recharge. Maybe you’ll invite trusted companions on board so you don’t have to navigate things alone. Whatever your journey, I’m here to help you find your way.

 

I’ve always been drawn to the complexity of the human experience. We all struggle, yet in a world of social media perfection, sharing our truth can feel harder than ever. While we hear "it's okay to not be okay," vulnerability still takes courage. Working in crisis support, I witnessed remarkable strength - people reaching out at their lowest and fighting their way back. The first step, no matter how small, is the start of changing your direction.

 

A client once shared how healing it is to simply “have company with”, and I thought it was such beautiful phrasing - we all need "to have company with" when facing challenges. There’s power in being heard. When we seek support - whether from a counsellor or a loved one - it’s not always advice we need, but understanding. A space free from judgement, where we can be honest about the good, the bad, and everything in between. With that kind of support, we begin to see our own path forward. My hope is that The Counselling Cove can be that space for you.
