ABOUT ME

Untitled_edited.jpg

Hello, I'm Juliet (she/her).

I’m a qualified counsellor with a deep commitment to helping people explore, understand, and heal from life’s challenges.

 

I offer both long-term and short-term therapy, as well as Bereavement Counselling. I am honoured to be featured in the Miscarriage Association's Counselling Directory of specialist counsellors. Supporting individuals through miscarriage, pregnancy loss, and fertility challenges.

​

I work face-to-face in North Leeds, LS8. I also offer sessions online and by telephone.

​

My counselling journey was shaped by my training and volunteering with Cruse Bereavement Support and the St Giles Trust, where I supported individuals coping with grief, trauma, and complex life transitions. These experiences affirmed something I’ve always believed: that we are made to communicate with each other and when we do so in a safe, supportive space, incredible change is possible.

 

My work is also influenced by my lived experiences of Autism and ADHD, Chronic illness and Disability, and being a Carer. My work sits at the intersection of lived experience, therapeutic counselling practice, and theory.

​

I’ve seen firsthand how therapy can help people not only survive difficult times but also rediscover themselves, build resilience, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence. It’s a privilege to walk alongside people as they make sense of their experiences and emotions.

A key aspect of my approach is fostering self-awareness and understanding. I believe that when we begin to truly understand ourselves, our thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and patterns, we unlock the potential for lasting change. Whether you’re dealing with grief, anxiety, low self-esteem, or simply feeling stuck, therapy offers a space where you can be heard without judgment and explore what’s going on beneath the surface.

​

My role is to support you with empathy, honesty, and care, wherever you are on your journey.

​

If you feel that you could benefit from speaking to a down-to-earth, friendly therapist, then please do get in touch. I understand the importance of finding a counsellor that you can trust and feel comfortable with.
