I'm a neurodivergent affirming counsellor operating via Telehealth. I work with adults who are looking for support through various life challenges and experiences, including stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, gender identity, ADHD and Autism. I value providing a space in which you are seen and heard without fear of judgement. We can identify areas that you'd like to focus on, and set goals for those inclined. My approach uses evidence based therapy that is suited specifically to you.
I'll work in collaboration with you, looking at the whole picture of your life and what might help in navigating the challenges that present themselves. For you this might mean being able to vent, an empathetic and non-judgemental listener, or support around making changes in alignment to your values.
I offer friendly therapy with your aspirations at the centre. If you are interested, check out some more info below. I offer 15 minute consultations at no cost so we can work out if my services are right for you. Reaching out is often the hardest part. Though I look forward to hearing from you, and I appreciate your time reading this profile.

I work with many clients, some who are LGBTQIAplus, experience Anxiety and/or Depression, are Neurodivergent, and have experienced trauma. Initially I'd like to get to know you, which helps us both work out what might be the best approach to navigate the issues you're facing. Talking is powerful, as is trying new strategies to employ when faced with life's difficulties.

My approach to therapy is best described as Process-Based Therapy. This means that I use a variety of therapy types depending on what you're dealing with. This involves understanding you as a person, building on what's already working for you, and work out what might be the best approach for a particular issue you are facing. After all, you are a person in a context, not a list of diagnoses.
