I place an emphasis on a respectful relationship where thoughts and feelings are treated with sensitivity and honesty. I provide a supportive and relaxed environment, and believe that no thought or feeling deserves judgment in therapy. I enjoy helping people with anxiety, phobias, OCD, depression, trauma, problems with assertiveness, anger, behavioural problems, and relationship issues. I hope to offer people an opportunity to understand what is happening inside themselves that is causing their suffering, to build skills to regulate anxiety, to gain stability in relationships, and to heal and unlock potential.

Are you trapped in repetitive patterns, struggling to define healthy boundaries? There is a reason behind these struggles, and together, we will uncover what is holding you back, providing you with the clarity and confidence needed to turn things around.

Welcome to my therapy space! I am particularly interested in helping women overcome perfectionism, people pleasing, self-worth challenges and body dissatisfaction. I love to help women explore all the different parts of who they are and who they want to become, through dismantling old stories and belief patterns, and identifying new ways of being. I also offer a space where women are able to discuss sexuality and delve into taboo topics, if that is something that they wish to explore.

Are you feeling stuck? Do you feel like there are always challenges that stop you from a balanced life? Or maybe you are struggling with the same patterns and trauma that just won't go away? Modern life can be so complicated, there is so much happening in the world it can be hard to find our own place in it. People are struggling in this global climate. Counselling can help you to connect to yourself. So often we think about connection to others, but how can we do that when we feel a sense of unrest and disconnection to our true self?

I support clients moving through midlife and older age who are navigating depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, burnout, or unexpected major life transitions, and they're wondering what comes next. Clients reach out for many reasons: a career that no longer fits, caring for family member living with dementia, adjusting to retirement, processing loss, or feeling stuck and ready for something different. I help clients make sense of what they're going through, challenge limiting stories, and explore clearer purpose and direction. Together, we explore what this chapter of life is asking, and what it might still offer.
