My passion is working with clients ready to develop their understanding of self, and improve their relationships with those around them. Clients I work with may be facing challenges such as binge eating, ADHD management, sleep, and issues surrounding relationships, sex, and sexuality.
I love working to support individuals facing life transitions surrounding fertility and pregnancy, as well as health challenges like Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder and pain or discomfort during sex. I've worked extensively with clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma and life stressors. I'm also passionate about supporting parents and carers!

My ideal client is someone who feels stuck despite their capabilities. They might be a gifted individual struggling with perfectionism and self-doubt, a veteran navigating civilian life transitions, an athlete facing performance anxiety or mental blocks, or someone managing anxiety that's preventing them from living authentically. They're ready to do the work but need guidance understanding their patterns. They want to develop psychological flexibility, practice self-compassion, and align their actions with their values. They're seeking not just symptom relief, but genuine life satisfaction and the tools to handle future challenges

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!

Becoming a parent, or hoping to become one, can be both exciting and overwhelming, and sometimes an experience of loss and disappointment. Even when there are happy moments, it’s normal to also feel uncertain, stretched, or like some things are out of your control. Many parents/parents-to-be, feel pressure to look like they have it all together, while privately struggling with sleep disruption, anxiety, low mood, grief and loss, relationship changes, or a sense of losing themselves.

Big life changes can leave you feeling all kinds of lost—like you’re not quite sure who you are anymore or how to fit in. Maybe past experiences keep showing up uninvited. Maybe your relationships feel distant, or you’re stuck between cultures, trying to hold on to who you are while adapting to something new. If this sounds familiar, I see you—and I’m here for you. For over 20 years, I’ve worked with people from all walks of life, especially migrants navigating identity and belonging. I offer a warm, safe space to talk things through, get unstuck, and start healing.

Men are often taught not to reach out for help. You may have been made to believe that to seek help for yourself was to admit weakness or that it would make you a burden. Maybe you don't know where to start. But you've been thinking about getting professional support for some time now, that's why you are here. You know you need help, maybe because you're experiencing social anxiety or an overwhelming difficulty to get out of bed. You might no longer enjoy the things that used to make you happy, or you're having darker, more intrusive thoughts. It's starting to impact your relationships, your work & your physical health.

Are you feeling anxious, stressed, confused, emotionally overwhelmed? Does life seem overwhelming, unfair, sad, unfulfilling, directionless, hopeless? Do you simply want more from life? You’re not alone. I endeavour to understand what is important for you, which means that I don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach.

I create a safe space to be open and real about what you are experiencing.
