Online Counselling for Young People (16+) and Adults Across the UK
Hello I'm Cassandra.
I'm really glad you've found your way here.
If you're reading this, life may feel difficult at the moment. You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or simply carrying more than you feel able to manage on your own.
Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to face it alone.
I offer online counselling in a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, explore your thoughts and feelings, and be accepted for who you are.
I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling heard and understood. My role isn't to tell you who you should be or how you should live your life. Instead, I'll work alongside you as we make sense of your experiences together, helping you discover what feels right for you.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, identity, life transitions, bereavement, or simply feeling lost, counselling can offer a space to pause, reflect and move forward at your own pace.
Finding the right counsellor is important. That's why I offer a free 20 minute introductory call, giving us the opportunity to meet, answer any questions you may have and see whether working together feels like the right fit.
I'd be delighted to hear from you.
What You Can Expect
If we work together, my hope is that you'll experience a space where you can:
- Talk openly without fear of judgement.
- Feel heard, accepted and understood.
- Explore your thoughts and feelings at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
- Develop a greater understanding of yourself and move towards meaningful change.
About me
Thank you for taking the time to visit my website.
Choosing a counsellor is a very personal decision. I know how important it is to find someone you feel comfortable talking to, so I'd like to tell you a little about myself before we talk about qualifications or counselling approaches.
I've always been interested in people - what shapes us, how we make sense of our experiences, and what helps us move forward when life feels difficult. That curiosity, together with a genuine belief that everyone deserves to be heard without judgement, is what led me to counselling.
One of the things I value most is creating a space where you don't have to pretend. Life can place many expectations on us, and it's easy to feel we should be coping better, doing better, doing more or somehow being different. I believe counselling offers an opportunity to step away from those pressures, explore your experiences openly and reconnect with the person you are, rather than the person you feel you ought to be.
No two people are the same, so I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I work collaboratively with each client, adapting my way of working to meet your individual needs and what feels most helpful for you.
Alongside my private practice, I continue to work as a volunteer counsellor because I value supporting people in different settings and believe that learning never stops.
Outside of counselling I enjoy spending time in nature, travelling and discovering new places. These quieter moments help me slow down, reflect and reconnect with what matters, and they remind me of the importance of creating space for ourselves in our everyday lives.
Professionally, I am an Integrative Counselling Psychotherapist, an NCPS Accredited Registrant and a BACP Registered Member. I work within the ethical frameworks of both professional bodies and am committed to providing a safe, respectful and confidential space for my clients.
Whether you're considering counselling for the first time or returning after a previous experience, I hope you'll find a warm, accepting space where you feel able to be yourself.
If you feel I may be the right counsellor for you, I'd love to hear from you
A Few Things I Believe
Everyone's journey through life is different, but there are a few beliefs that guide the way I work as a counsellor.
- I believe everyone deserves to be heard without judgement
- I believe you don't have to have everything figured out before asking for help
- I believe there isn't one "right" way to be. We are all unique, and our differences deserve to be understood rather than judged.
- I believe meaningful change doesn't always happen through big breakthroughs. Often it begins with feeling truly heard, understood and accepted.
- I believe counselling should feel like a collaborative journey, where we work together at a pace that feels right for you.
- I believe self-compassion is just as important as self-improvement.
- Above all, I believe that every person has inherent worth, whatever they may be facing.
