Counselling is a creative, very human process. I work with a person centred, integrative approach drawing from a range of counselling modalities. Attunement in the therapeutic relationship is key. This ensures that the counselling process is flexibly designed to meet your needs. Reflecting on one’s deepest issues, life path, pain and joy can be a transformative experience leading to insights and change. Witnessing and facilitating this therapeutic process and positive outcomes for clients is what continually renews my passion for this work. I work with adults, teens and children. For younger children I work with play therapy.

Stressed, stuck, or ready for real change? Life can feel relentless, even when you’re doing all the “right” things. You’re the kind of person who’s capable and thoughtful, yet lately life feels heavier than it should. Maybe anxiety keeps you on edge, past experiences still echo, or burnout has dulled your sense of joy. You long for calm, connection, and a clearer sense of yourself, to stop overthinking and start feeling grounded again. You want therapy that’s gentle but real, a space where you don’t have to perform, fix yourself, or feel judged, just be met with understanding and guidance toward genuine change. I'm.here.for.you!

Every person's journey is unique, and I like to understand the background and goals of the people I support to ensure we create a personalised plan for them. I am very experienced in supporting adults, and adolescents and I have a strong interest in supporting people navigating anxiety, grief and loss, PTSD, developmental trauma, and the myriad of life's challenges. My approach is twofold: I believe in equipping you with immediate tools to cope with present concerns, while also delving into the roots of these issues – be it past events, deep-seated beliefs, or coping mechanisms – to pave the way for a brighter future.
