If you're feeling stuck or seeking something more from life - a sense of purpose, connection, or change - I can help. I’ve seen people weighed down by past experiences, uncertainty, self-doubt, unsure of how to move forward.  I’ve been one of these people too. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem, or life transitions, I understand from my own experience what it is like. I can help you discover who you really are and break free from the patterns that hold you back so that you can start living a life that feels authentic and fulfilling - one that you want to get out of bed for each day.
As someone with both lived experience of mental illness and a Masters in Counselling, I blend real-life understanding with practical therapy that works. Having successfully made it through my own internal struggles and external setbacks, I know that the journey can be painful and difficult, and I am here to listen and offer help.
Starting or resuming therapy can be a scary step - you might ask: Will this person listen to me? Will I match with them? I believe it is important to find someone that you gel with and that you feel comfortable with. To make this step easier, I offer a fifteen minute free chat so you can see if you would like to book a counselling session with me.
