I like to think of myself as the relatable counsellor—someone who’s easy to talk to, approachable, and truly understands that therapy isn’t just for the ‘serious’ or ‘stoic.’ I believe therapy should feel comfortable, real, and human, and that’s exactly what I strive to offer.
I’m a happy-go-lucky kind of person who loves connecting with others. As a proud Leo, I’m passionate, energetic, and always up for a good conversation. You could probably guess that I’m into astrology—I find that horoscopes often resonate with me, and I love reading them for fun!
When I’m not counselling, you’ll probably find me enjoying music—something I often call “my kind of therapy.” Music has always been an important part of my life, and I believe it has the power to heal and uplift.
You’ll also find me on TikTok, where I go by the name @TashaTheRelatableCounsellor. On there, I share snippets of advice, tips on mental well-being, and some real talk about therapy. I aim to make mental health discussions more accessible, fun, and relatable for everyone.
At the heart of it all, I’m an honest, kind, caring, and loving person who genuinely wants the best for everyone I meet. That’s why I became a counsellor: to offer the support, understanding, and compassion that people need to live their best lives.
I understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating, but I want you to know that I’m here to guide you with empathy, honesty, and care every step of the way. My approach is rooted in a deep belief in your potential for healing, growth, and positive change—and I’d be honoured to walk that journey with you.

What I Like to Do in My Spare Time
As you’ve probably gathered from my website, I have a deep love for nature. I find so much peace and joy in walking outdoors, especially capturing the beauty of the changing seasons. I truly believe there’s something healing about connecting with nature, and it’s one of my favourite ways to recharge.
A big part of my love for the outdoors comes from my Scottish heritage. I’m half Scottish (on my dad’s side), and I feel a special connection to the country every time I visit. I absolutely adore everything about Scotland—its landscapes, its people, and the rich history. Despite the cold (and similar to Manchester!), I look forward to visiting in Autumn and Winter to experience the changing seasons and the fresh air.
Alongside my love for nature, I also have a dog named Menace—and yes, he lives up to his name! Menace is my fur baby; he’s full of energy, and we both love our walks. Whether I’m exploring the hills of Scotland or just strolling around my local area, he’s my constant companion.
When I’m not out walking or travelling, I’m always eager to try new foods. I have a real passion for exploring different restaurants, especially with friends. I believe that sharing a good meal is one of the best ways to connect with people, and it’s something I really enjoy. It’s all about the experience—good food, good company, and good conversation.
While I enjoy travelling abroad and discovering new places, Scotland will always have a special place in my heart. It’s a place where I truly feel connected to my roots, and no matter how many places I visit, I always feel at home there.
Volunteering and Giving Back
In addition to my counselling work, I’m deeply passionate about volunteering and supporting my local community. I currently volunteer as a Befriender for Being There Salford, a charity dedicated to providing emotional support and practical assistance to individuals affected by cancer and other life-limiting illnesses, as well as their families, friends, and carers. You can learn more about their incredible work here.
In my role as a Befriender, I have the privilege of visiting clients on a weekly basis, offering a listening ear, and providing emotional support. It’s not just about offering advice; it’s about being present—listening to my clients' concerns, helping them feel heard, and ensuring they know they’re not alone in what they’re going through. This connection can help reduce anxiety, promote well-being, and foster a sense of support and belonging.
I find this work incredibly rewarding. Spending time with my clients and knowing that they appreciate our conversations brings me a deep sense of fulfilment. It’s humbling to see how meaningful these visits can be, and I truly believe in the power of simply being there for someone when they need it most.
