What is Creator Counselling?
What is Creator Counselling?
Life in the public and digital eye brings a world of opportunities to talented individuals, keen to make their mark in public spaces. However, the down side can be immense. From trolls to unrealistic expectations to feeling disconnected from your authentic self when work creeps into every facet of your lives, 24/7. That's why I'd like to introduce Creator Counselling to help you navigate through the complexities of your success.
While talking to friends and family can help with everyday challenges, it’s not always easy to feel fully seen or understood when your experiences are shaped by an online presence. Counselling offers a deeper kind of support: a consistent, confidential relationship where you can slow down, reflect, and begin to make sense of how you feel. For people with public profiles, this need can be even more critical. Online abuse, trolling, impersonation, or having every word scrutinised can have a serious emotional toll, yet it’s often minimised or misunderstood by those outside the industry, including well-meaning friends, family, or even professionals.
This space recognises the impact that public exposure and digital scrutiny can have on your wellbeing. It’s a space that doesn’t ask you to justify or downplay what you’re going through, but instead invites you to explore it with honesty, care, and support.
Why I created, Creator Counselling
Why I created, Creator Counselling
With over a decade of experience working directly with creators, influencers, celebrities, agents, brands, and agencies, I understand the unique pressures, visibility, and expectations that come with a public facing career. I’ve seen first-hand how this can affect mental wellbeing, and how vital it is to have a trusted space to speak freely and feel truly understood.
Alongside this, I bring over 5 years experience in the mental health field. I'm a qualified Person Centered Counsellor, BACP registered, with clinical experience in both the NHS Talking Therapies service and the charity sector. I’ve trained and volunteered with Samaritans and undertaken training in areas such as unconscious bias, anti-racism, trauma, and bereavement.
This blend of background, in talent and mental health, gives me a deep, nuanced understanding of your work, and the skills to support you in navigating it with care and authenticity.

There are many reasons why someone might seek counselling. You don’t need to be in crisis, and it doesn’t have to be work related.

From all the clients I have worked with, the most important thing they value is a safe and confidential space to speak openly, and without fear of being judged. Creator Counselling offers this space to explore whatever you’re facing, work related or not.
What counselling is, and what it isn't
What counselling is, and what it isn't
My approach is grounded in humanistic person centered counselling, which means I won’t give advice or tell you what to do. For some, this can sound a little deflating, as being given the answer feels like a quick and easy fix. The truth is, you and only you are the expert on your life, my role is to create the conditions you need to collaboratively explore, and find the answers you’re looking for. If desired, I can integrate tools from CBT and mindfulness into the sessions, and I aim to provide psychoeducation to support the therapeutic process.
In practice, this might look like being asked questions you’ve never considered before, or exploring ideas, perceptions, and experiences, to help expand awareness and clarity. If you are engaged and curious, you'll walk away from your therapy with a better understanding of yourself, how to navigate your emotions and to reconnect with your strength and sense of self. My role is to support you in tuning into your inner knowing and to build trust in your own voice and decisions, especially when life feels confusing, noisy, or overwhelming.
This is a space for you to be fully yourself beyond the screen, the brand, or the performance. Like any meaningful relationship, therapy works best when it feels like a good fit. You should feel safe, respected, and free to show up as you are without pressure or judgment. Counselling is a process, not a single moment of change. It takes time, reflection, courage, and sometimes it can be challenging, yet it can be a deeply empowering experience. You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin. You just need to be curious about what might unfold when you give yourself the space to really look inward.
