Our Story
Polaris Therapeutic Services is dedicated to offering holistic counselling and mental wellbeing interventions to those struggling with a range of difficulties.
Prioritising a person-centred approach, we aim to offer our clients a space where they can safely grow, discover, and explore whatever they might need to, to meet their goals.
Founded recently in the Spring of 2024, the concept of Polaris Therapeutic Services has been years in the making. Named after the North Star, which historically has guided sailors in the night, we hope that you also find the tools you need to guide you to your destination. Whatever is bringing you to our site, we hope you find the support that you need in this moment.
“We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. Yet listening, of this very special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know.”
- Carl Rogers, 1980.

Get To Know Me
As the counsellor behind Polaris Therapeutic Services, I became fully qualified in 2024. I am trained in working a variety of ways, and value adaptability and individuality in the way that I work with my clients. I have experience working with a range of mental health difficulties, as well as complex grief and traumatic loss, but please find more information on my approach HERE if you're interested.
From experience, I know that finding a counsellor is hard, and it can be tough to judge a person based on what they write about themselves online. I've written one of my first blog posts to tell you a bit more about me. As a counsellor, as well as a neurodivergent, LGBTQ+ human being, I hope that we will get the chance to get to know each other.
