Do you find yourself overthinking, feeling guilty when you try to set boundaries, or caught in repeating patterns that leave you feeling drained and burnt out? I work with young women who are highly self-aware, yet still find it hard to break out of these cycles. It can feel confusing and frustrating, like insight alone isn’t enough to create change. I offer a warm, and safe space, where we can gently explore what’s beneath this and help you feel more grounded, clear, and able to show up in your life with more confidence and internal trust.

I offer online and in-person counselling services to individuals, couples and families. I see counselling as deeply collaborative work, where I seek to understand the unique aspects of each person’s lived experience, tailoring my approach specifically to their needs. I value the co-creation of a warm and respectful therapeutic relationship, centring safety and empowerment. I acknowledge that we all resist the impacts of oppressive systems in unique and creative ways. I work with people towards uncovering the many skills, values, commitments and abilities that might allow for change and healing.

I value building an authentic therapeutic relationship where people feel safe to explore their inner world in a non-judgemental, empathic space. I work from an integrative approach to help people develop a deeper understanding of themselves and patterns that may be causing emotional suffering. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, self-esteem and relationship difficulties. My therapeutic approach is predominantly informed by emotion-focussed and experiential frameworks, including Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP).

Shame, anxiety, relationship difficulties are just some of the struggles that can leave you feeling caught in painful patterns that are difficult to change. You may also struggle with self-criticism, perfectionism, people pleasing, or the lasting impact of childhood trauma, emotional neglect, and difficult life experiences. Despite years of trying to change, you may find yourself repeating the same patterns. My work helps you understand why these patterns developed with compassion rather than judgement. Together, we make sense of your experiences, build self-trust, and create lasting emotional and relational change.
