I am a registered counsellor and logotherapist with a passion for growth, insight and engagement. If you often find yourself overwhelmed and needing to withdraw to manage your emotions, struggling to make decisions or enforce boundaries, are uncertain how to cope with your challenges, then the right therapy can be a fast and effective way to regain optimism and resilience and to feel empowered. My aim is for you to finish your sessions feeling engaged, stimulated and hopeful. I provide my clients full presence and engagement, with no judgement, with empathy, and with an invitation for introspection and meaningful contemplation.

I'm particularly interested in questions of meaning and purpose, anxiety, emotional-overwhelm, value-conflicts, existential concerns and relationship tension. Through dialogue, metaphors and analogies, I provide clients tools and perspectives for authenticity, insight and confidence.

Connection, deep listening, and rapport come naturally to me. I encourage you, as part of your journey - to get in touch and find a sense of engagement and inspiration right from the start.
