Each person's experience is unique. You might be struggling with past hurts, experiencing challenging thoughts, have feelings of self-sabotage or that no matter what you do, you end up in the same relationships and repeating the same patterns. The answers lie within you and I can help you uncover them. I bring non-judgemental acceptance, belief in your resilience, and compassion to the journey that we embark on together. I will support you to find the patterns and behaviours in your life that no longer serve you.

I enjoy working with clients who want to rebuild their sense of self and overcome difficulties of the past or present. My particular interests are supporting teenagers and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, relationships concerns, building confidence and self esteem to lead a happy and meaningful life. If you want to learn tools and strategies to better manage your concerns or just have a listening ear to make sense of your difficulties, I will ensure you will feel heard and supported. I believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship and I am not afraid to be a little humorous where appropriate.

At the heart of my counselling practice is my capacity for deep listening, compassion, empathy, and developing a trusting therapeutic relationship. I am mindful that people lead busy lives and are investing time and money into counselling. Therefore, my aim is to provide impactful counselling that will enable you to achieve what you need, in the minimum number of sessions. I work with individual clients from diverse backgrounds whose emotional, psychological, or behavioural functioning is impacted by life circumstances.

Do you feel somewhat stuck? Perhaps overwhelm, physical pain or yearning for something different? Maybe you'd simply like to do better? Why not consider a coupling of counselling, clinical hypnotherapy and strategic psychotherapy? Unaware, you may be running outdated patterns which are at odds with the YOU of today, making it difficult to navigate and effect change. I use permissive Ericksonian hypnotherapy (particularly the Gordian Pillars) to uncover well-worn patterns of stuckness, then gently infuse the subconscious with alternate options. Safe, effective, gentle and life-changing.

It upsets me to see so many people struggling to live their day to day lives with the scars and painful wounds that somebody else inflicted on them through no fault of their own. The world is not meant to be this way. People should be free to live their lives without being imprisoned inside of themselves and feeling cheated out of life. The aim of Renewed Hope Counselling is to give you support during the time your life is most difficult. I see infinite value in every single human being and provide an understanding, non-judgmental, caring environment where you feel respected, safe, and able to face and overcome life’s challenges.

“This isn’t how I thought my life would turn out.” “This isn’t where I want to be!” When we’re feeling stuck or lost in our life circumstances, it can seem overwhelming and never ending. We feel alone. We can spend our days constantly thinking about what’s gone wrong, and our nights unable to sleep with all the worry. Each day becomes the same as the day before, There seems no end to it, no future without these dark thoughts. Making it harder is the fact that no one understands what we’re going through. No one knows how anxiety, hopelessness or dread can engulf us.

Life can be challenging at times. It may feel like the simplest tasks that used to be achievable are now insurmountable. The things you used to enjoyed may not be as enjoyable anymore and you may feel like you're stuck in a work/life imbalance that has taken away any pleasure or meaning in your life. Counselling can help by providing a space to express your thoughts, process your feelings and gain perspective in order to change those behaviours that are limiting your quality of life. Small incremental changes are possible. You are worthy of living a meaningful and purposeful life.

The core of my approach is to provide a warm, collaborative, and caring relationship. In doing so, I wish to provide a space in which people may reflect on their life and experiences to better understand themselves and the world around them. In my career thus far I worked with people who have brought a broad range of different concerns to therapy, including but not limited to difficulties with emotion regulation, depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, trauma, rumination and worry, low self-esteem, and burnout. I am passionate about working with older adults, adults and adolescents.
