Although we may be trying our hardest, sometimes we can feel overwhelmed and unable to cope, or that our lives have taken a wrong turn. We can be plagued by depression, anxiety, grief or difficult life transitions. Or we may have mental illness or trauma that continues to get in our way and stops us flourishing. If these difficulties ring true, I believe I can help you get your life and your self back. Together, we will explore where you are now, the person you want to be and the way you want to live.

Counselling is a transformative journey that involves discovering new understandings, accepting them, and making bold choices. Life can be tough, and we face challenges, fears, and changes that can significantly impact our lives. We may feel overwhelmed, confused, and unproductive, which can affect our physical and mental health.

That's why I've dedicated myself to studying and training at the highest levels to support you in gaining clarity around your sexuality and relationships, both individually and as a couple. I'm here to help you understand and improve these vital aspects of your life.

I bring four decades of experience in mental health, art, design. I work with individuals, couples, and family members who seek to change their relationships with themselves and others. I aim to open possibilities to people who have little hope for change, struggle with depression, anxiety, and trauma symptoms, feeling overwhelmed and lost. This is often accompanied by counterproductive soothing behaviours such as substance use, addiction to gambling, gaming, sex, or screen use. Further, some clients may stay in relationships that deepen their belief that they cannot become the agents of their own lives.
