If you're feeling like you're constantly running on empty, overwhelmed or anxious, you’re not alone. You might find yourself meeting others’ needs while losing touch with your own. You may be feeling not quite right due to people-pleasing or perfectionism. These behaviours often show up quietly—draining your energy and leaving you feeling emotionally and physically exhausted. Therapy is about understanding yourself with compassion, making sense of your experiences, and finding new, healthier ways to respond to life’s challenges and reconnect with what truly matters to you. Therapy can help you find your way back to yourself.

Trauma can make us feel lost, hopeless, and disconnected from ourselves and others. You might notice that you keep falling into harmful patterns. Even though you want to form meaningful relationships, you might push people away or end up in relationships that cause pain. You want to understand your reactions and feel more in control of your life. You're ready to make better choices about treating yourself and others. You want to break free from cycles of trauma and abuse. You believe there’s something better for you—you need help to find it.

I am super passionate about my work as a Counsellor after many years of working in the corporate world left me searching for a more fulfilling and meaningful career. I find that so many of my clients echo this search – in addition to wanting to address their day-to-day life struggles – they are searching for something more. And this is where I love to be, fully attentive, empathising with my clients but most of all working alongside them to explore ways of improving all aspects of their lives, be that work, relationships, childhood attachment wounds or trauma.

I strongly believe that every person has a purpose and set of skills/strengths they bring into this world; however, that sometimes inconvenient/negative circumstances or unhealthy relationships can derail this potential by planting a seed of self-doubt into our minds. Regardless of where it applies to an individual's life (e.g. marriage, career, etc.), it would be my privilege to help clients along the way to achieving their life goals/vision by helping them identify and deal with any stumbling blocks in their way. Life loves to throw curveballs (it wouldn't be interesting if it didn't), but I'd love to prepare my clients for them!

My ideal client is ready for change. They’re insightful, proactive, and seeking clarity around patterns that no longer serve them—whether it’s anxiety, overthinking, or relationship challenges. They want practical strategies, not just talk, and are motivated to understand themselves more deeply. They’re not here to be rescued—they’re here to grow, to realign with their values, and to create a more grounded, authentic life.

Many of my clients are women 50+ facing major life changes—divorce, loss, burnout, or feeling lost after years of putting others first. They want clarity, emotional ease, and a stronger connection to themselves. I also work with individuals and couples of all ages who feel stuck and want lasting inner change. Using Internal Family Systems therapy, somatic practices, and self-compassion, I help you gently explore what’s going on beneath the surface—so you can move forward with more clarity, connection, and confidence. I also see anyone who wants to know themselves on a deeper level, healing past trauma and attachment wounds.

I am experienced working with people who are struggling with addiction, anxiety, stress, and adjustment challenges. This includes issues such as gambling, substance use, porn use, technology overuse, and difficulties with life transitions. The clients I work with present with a need to better understand their experiences, develop effective strategies for managing stressors, and foster self-compassion. Their goals frequently involve breaking free from unhelpful patterns, enhancing resilience, improving interpersonal relationships, and aligning their behaviors with their core values, striving towards more purpose in life.

Have you decided you like to make some changes in your life? Whether you’d like to deal with pass experiences or simply learn how to look after the here and now, I may be able help. I say ‘may’ because the relationship between a therapist and client is very important and as such it’s important you feel comfortable sharing your secrets with me.
