About Chloe
I came to counselling through a long-standing interest in people, relationships, and the ways we learn to adapt to the worlds around us. I’m someone who naturally wants to understand what sits underneath things, not just what’s happening, but why.
I know therapy can feel intimidating. Most people don’t arrive feeling calm, self-aware, and ready to talk openly about their emotions. More often, they arrive overwhelmed, burnt out, stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand, or quietly wondering why life seems harder for them than it appears to be for everyone else.
My aim is to create a space where you don’t have to perform or get therapy “right”. A space where you can think out loud, be honest, and explore things at your own pace without fear of judgement.
Outside of therapy, I’m also a parent, a shameless lover of country music, and someone who values humour, honesty, creativity, and genuine human connection. I believe difficult conversations can coexist with warmth, curiosity, and even moments of laughter.
Neurodiversity is both a personal and professional area of interest for me. I’m AuDHD myself and also parent to an AuDHD child, which gives me lived insight into the complexity, exhaustion, masking, overwhelm, and constant adaptation that can come with navigating a world that isn’t always designed for different nervous systems. That doesn’t mean I assume your experience will look like mine, but it does mean I approach difference with curiosity, respect, and understanding rather than judgement.
I’m particularly interested in the ways past experiences shape how we see ourselves, relate to others, and move through the world. Often the things we struggle with made sense at one point in our lives, even if they’re now keeping us stuck or causing distress. Rather than focusing on “fixing” people, I’m more interested in helping people understand themselves more fully and find ways of living that feel more sustainable, authentic, and connected.
My work is informed by my training in Gestalt therapy (DipHE), alongside ongoing learning around trauma-informed practice, neurodiversity, attachment, and relational approaches to therapy. I continue to develop my understanding through regular supervision, professional development, and personal reflection, in line with the standards set by the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy.
I currently offer counselling in Salisbury, online, and through walk-and-talk sessions.
