My ideal client is someone who feels emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in repeating patterns, or disconnected from themselves or loved ones. They may struggle with anxiety, unresolved family dynamics, or challenges in their relationship. What they truly need is a safe, non-judgmental space to be heard and understood. Their goal is to heal, find clarity, and build healthier relationships — with themselves and others. They want change because they long for emotional balance, deeper connection, and a more authentic life.

As a holistic counsellor and psychotherapist, I support adults experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, navigating major life transitions and living with the legacies of trauma. I help people reconnect with their inner strengths and resources, and build a steadier, more grounded relationship with themselves and others.
I also support adults through identity shifts and life transitions, including relationship changes, career shifts, becoming a parent, midlife and other periods of change. This also includes working with adults exploring a late-identified or late-diagnosed neurodivergent identity, including ADHD, Autism and AuDHD.

Life doesn't always go as we plan. We can end up experiencing relationship struggles or abuse, find it difficult to get past grief and loss, find ourselves relying on substances or other addictive behaviours to get by.
We may experience depression or anxiety, or wake up one morning and realise that for whatever reason, things that used to work for us are just not working anymore.
We may feel exhausted or empty or disappointed and not really know why.
Whether you are battling a long term problem or experiencing a new and unexpected struggle, we can support and equip you through empathetic and confidential counselling.

I'm quite passionate about helping people to understand the stories that their minds hold about their sense of safety, security, worth, control and belonging. Trauma stories were created in the past, when the mind tried to make meaning from experiences that felt scary, unsafe or out of our control. The mind holds on to these stories as a way of protecting us from being hurt in the future, and replays them when it predicts future danger or suffering. But that's not the whole story. Using evidence-based, neuroscientific psychological approaches, we can process traumatic memory, distress and disturbance, and heal psychic wounds.
