I am passionate about helping people navigate life's challenges with compassion, understanding, and practical support.
I work with adults and teens experiencing grief and loss, anxiety, overthinking, negative self-talk, and the emotional and mental health challenges associated with menopause. Whether you're coping with the loss of a loved one, feeling overwhelmed by anxious thoughts, struggling with self-doubt, or finding it difficult to adjust to life's transitions,
I come from a place of understanding and in some cases first hand experience in dealing with emotions, loss, menopausal mental health, along with negative self talk and any life transitions you may be going through.
I only do face to face therapy to ensure that your time is not filled with distractions, and we can build report in a much more organise and natural environment. Your time is important and so should be your space in which we use to explore your concerns.
