I work with individuals, couples, and professionals who want to better understand the patterns affecting their communication, confidence, relationships, performance, and emotional wellbeing. Many clients come to me feeling stuck in repeating cycles — difficulty speaking up, conflict that keeps returning, self-doubt, stress, emotional overwhelm, people-pleasing, avoidance, or a sense that they are not showing up as fully as they would like in life, work, or relationships. My work supports clients to make sense of these patterns, understand what may be driving them, and develop clearer, more grounded ways of responding.

I see children, adolescents, and adults with ADHD or autistic profiles who feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, or worn down by systems that weren’t designed for them. They may be navigating anxiety, burnout, emotional regulation challenges, trauma, identity questions, or life transitions. Their goal is to better understand themselves, feel accepted rather than “fixed,” and build confidence using strengths-based, practical strategies that genuinely fit them. I am also an EMDR therapist and support clients in processing trauma in a safe, compassionate way. I too am a mum of two and proudly neurodivergent myself.

I support those suffering from anxiety, trauma and life burnout. Those who are curious in re-setting their life. I am an IFS informed Clinical Psychotherapist. I work with the body and its signals. My training has been in trauma informed modalities - we don't always have to know the story. I work with domestic and international clients (individuals and also couples), many of whom are neurodiverse. My passion is supporting people to uncover patterns that no longer work for them. Awareness of our parts, and integrating them, supports living our purpose.

Do you feel stuck in an unfulfilling career, but not sure where to pivot?
My therapy approach is relational, which means I meet my clients where they’re at and tailor my approach to suit their needs. A therapy session with me could look very different from one client to another. In the past, I’ve received feedback that my style is empathetic, thoughtful, and grounding - these are at the heart of what I offer my clients.

I am super passionate about my work as a Counsellor after many years of working in the corporate world left me searching for a more fulfilling and meaningful career.
I view anxiety, depression, behavioural issues, anger management, relationship issues as symptoms or rather coping strategies. While we focus on addressing the strategies in my approach depending on the client's goals, I also like exploring the underlying issues behind them so that to achieve more profound results.

How do I know if I need career counselling?
Determining whether a career counsellor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counselling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counsellor.

Who can benefit from career counselling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counselling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counselling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counsellor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counselling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.

How long does career counselling typically last?
The length of career counselling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counselling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counsellor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.

How to prepare for career counselling?
Clients can prepare for career counselling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counsellor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counsellor, particularly if the career counsellor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counselling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
