About Me
Hello! I’m Tristan, a qualified counsellor with a passion for walking beside others through life’s challenges and helping them discover new perspectives along the way.Counselling helped me through some unexpected and difficult changes in my own life, so I understand that life can be tough, and often doesn’t go the way we planned. But I also believe there is strength and beauty in the gift of life. Years after experiencing counselling as a client, I returned to it from a different perspective: as a qualified counsellor. With experience working in structured organisations and charities, I’ve created my own counselling space where people can feel safe to be fully themselves, without judgment.
What I Offer
I offer individuals in-person, online, and walking (wheelchair accessible) therapy.
Because I work with body language and non-verbal communication, I tend to avoid phone-only sessions, which can miss those important cues.Over time, I’ve worked with people with all sorts of stories. From college students navigating anxiety about the future, to new parents experiencing postnatal depression, to those in midlife questioning their direction, and even clients in later years reflecting on meaning and legacy.
Whatever your stage in life, you are welcome here.I believe that true understanding comes from compassion. When we learn to offer compassion to ourselves, we unlock new paths for freedom and growth. In sessions, I create a space where all emotions are welcome, from tears to laughter.
Together, we’ll equip you with the tools you need to move toward who you want to be.
How I Work
I work in an integrative way, which means I use different types of therapy depending on what feels right for you. Kind of like picking the right tool for the job. I believe there’s no one-size-fits-all in counselling.I always start with person-centred listening. By really listening to you with kindness and without judgment, helping you find your own answers in your own time. Along the way, I might bring in ideas from different approaches like Transactional Analysis (TA), which helps us understand how we talk to ourselves and others, or Gestalt, which helps you tune into what you’re feeling right now so you can make better choices. Existential therapy can help you explore meaning and purpose in life. I also love using creative methods and the calm of nature and outdoor spaces to support your personal growth.Because everyone is unique, the space we create together will be shaped to fit your needs.

Testimonies
Here is what past clients have said about the work I offer:"I don’t get how just sitting in a room and talking works — but it does. It feels like magic." - HW"I had low expectations and thought I’d try counselling as a last resort. Now, when negative thoughts come, I don’t just listen to them, I hold them, choose what to do with them, and most of the time put them down and remember that I am good at what I do." - DH"Being in this space has helped me explore my anxiety around being with friends. In this time, I’ve made new positive friendships and realised that some friends are going through their own struggles, and I don’t need to take their stuff personally." - RW"After losing my husband, I felt disconnected from my family and always felt like I had to say yes to everyone. Counselling gave me the space to breathe and the courage to say yes only when I truly can." - SJ
