Most of my clients come to me feeling confused, emotionally drained, and questioning themselves. On the outside, they often look like they’re coping. But inside, there’s a quiet sense of not feeling good enough, of second-guessing their needs, and of carrying patterns that don’t feel like their own. I work with women who grew up in environments where love, approval, or safety felt inconsistent. You may not have a formal label for what you experienced, but something in you knows it was difficult. That’s enough. My approach is active and collaborative. I’m not here just to listen while you vent.
I integrate evidence-based therapies with body-based practices, because insight alone is rarely enough. We work with thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations so that change is not just something you understand, but something you feel and embody. I will challenge you when needed, and support you as you build clarity, boundaries, and self-trust.
If you’ve spent years feeling “too much” or “not enough,” second-guessing yourself or walking on eggshells, you’re not alone. These patterns often begin early and follow you into adulthood. I help you understand them, reconnect with yourself, and build self-trust. If this resonates, you’re welcome to reach out.

My path into counselling was shaped by two decades of hands-on bodywork. my experience as a Remedial Massage Therapist and Pilates Instructor gave me a profound understanding of how the body holds our stories. My Masters in Counselling brought that together into a truly holistic approach.
