I am a registered counsellor and logotherapist working with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain despite trying to make sense of their lives. I offer a calm, accepting and attentive space where we slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and then move toward practical ways forward. At times, people reach a point where thinking things through on their own stops being enough, and having a structured space to untangle what’s happening becomes necessary. Therapy can help you regain clarity and a more grounded sense of direction.
I often work with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, overthinking, value conflicts, and questions of meaning or direction. This also includes experiences of loneliness, shame, and ongoing relationship tension. We use conversation, reflection, and practical reframing to help you see your situation differently and respond with more clarity.
Connection, deep listening, and rapport come naturally to me. My aim is for you to leave sessions with more clarity, perspective, and a sense of direction. If this resonates, you’re welcome to reach out (email preferred). Please note: I currently work only with individual adults.

I often use a mix of humanistic, person-centred therapy and existential, meaning-centred therapy. The focus is on your felt and lived experience, and on Socratic questioning to help explore and understand where your values are and what your challenges mean to you.
