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 about it. 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 contribute to feelings of inadequacy and anxiety. 

 

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 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. 

 

As a humanistic therapist, I hold that we all possess the capacity to lead meaningful and satisfying lives, but sometimes we encounter difficult life experiences that cause us to become stuck along the way. I see my role as walking alongside you, guiding us to uncover potential blind spots that we can explore together. I believe collaborative positive change can be fostered with empathy and openness, rather than judgement or criticism.
