Hi,

I’m Bella

I am a qualified BACP-registered psychotherapeutic counsellor and I specialise in working with young adults between the ages of 18 and 25. I have chosen to work with this age group because back in my university days, I realised that there was a mental health crisis amongst the young, and I wanted to do something to help.

I’m really aware of the pressures faced, including rapid societal changes, academic and career pressures, and the impact of social media. I understand the stress caused by this age of comparison and competitiveness amongst peers that contributes to feelings of inadequacy and anxiety.

You’re not alone if you’re experiencing fear of failure - the destructive rise of perfectionism amongst young adults is a very real, and challenging thing.

Supporting those who feel a bit adrift in life is close to my heart because I’ve been there - feeling lost, isolated, and unsure how to move forward. My personal experience means I can resonate as a fellow human-being and offer a sense of hope that better days are coming.

A BIT ABOUT HOW I WORK…

I am dedicated to fostering a warm, compassionate, and inclusive space where you are invited to share your whole self in a safe and validating environment.

Human diversity is a wonderful aspect of life, and therefore I strive to adjust my approach to meet your unique needs.

I primarily work relationally, and I think the most important thing is that, at the core, we’re just two people meeting and connecting as humans.

Some of the things I can help you with:

Anxiety

Domestic violence

Relationship difficulties

Bereavement, loss and separation

Trauma

Eating disorders

Narcissistic abuse

Depression
