My ideal clients are adults and couples who feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or are struggling to cope with life's challenges. They often seek support for anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, self-esteem concerns, pregnancy and postpartum adjustments, or major life transitions. At A Drop in Emotion Counselling, I provide a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients can feel heard and understood. Together, we explore what's keeping them stuck, develop practical coping strategies, strengthen relationships, and build confidence so they can move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and emot
At A Drop in Emotion Counselling, I support adults and couples navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Using a warm, collaborative approach and Gottman Method techniques for couples, I help clients build insight, resilience, and meaningful change.
Life can be challenging, and sometimes it helps to have someone alongside you who will listen without judgment and help you make sense of what you're experiencing. Whatever you're facing right now, support is available. If you'd like to explore whether counselling is the right fit for you, I'd be happy to connect.

CBT is a staple, but I tailor my sessions with a person-focussed approach. Initially sessions are about exploration and expectations, and then we collaboratively decide what works best for you. One size does not fit all. For my lovely couples, I primarily use the Gottman Method and EFT, we rebuild trust, increase fondness and admiration and rewrite communication.
