I honour the innate wisdom in all of us, and hold deep respect and compassion for people. My aim is to provide a safe, compassionate and healing space, where you can talk about, explore and find solutions to what's really happening in your life and whatever brings you to counselling. I will support you to create a healthy relationship and connection with yourself and others, and will walk with you, as you overcome the obstacles, and celebrate the steps you take towards living more of the life you desire.

I use my skills, knowledge, life experiences, understanding and common sense to guide and teach if needed.
Life is never a smooth sailing. It is full of ups and downs and sometimes nasty surprises. It might be difficult to think, sometimes, that things can get better. There may be troubles at work with boss or a co-worker, unsettled feelings around in-laws, difficulties in resolving issues with a partner, or even issues within yourself. As difficult as those issues may sound, it is possible to attend to them, and with the right help, to resolve them.

It’s often said that the most powerful tool in a person's life comes from within - your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. As a clinical psychotherapist with experience across diverse demography ranging from teenagers to working professionals, I know just how true this is. My journey has taught me one thing – we all have the power to make our lives better if we put in the effort and work towards cultivating our inner resilience. My philosophy is guided by evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Are you constantly asking yourself: ‘Should I stay or leave?’ ‘How do we resolve conflicts?’ ‘Why can't I keep my relationships long term?’ ‘Why do I feel dissatisfied with my life?’ If the answer is ‘yes’ to any of these questions, you are likely to benefit from individual, couple or family relationship counselling. Strong, healthy relationships, whether social or intimate, have a positive impact on our physical and mental well-being. People with poor relationships are more likely to suffer from depression and loneliness. Living in conflict or within a toxic relationship is more damaging than being on your own.

My journey, from being a Hungarian Olympic-level gymnast to navigating the complexities of life as a widow and single parent, has equipped me with a broad understanding of the human experience: mindfulness, trauma-informed practices, and skill-focused techniques in my work, providing you with tools not only to understand but also to heal, manage, and grow.
My professional mission is to assist clients at various stages in life, especially when changes are hard to deal with. When we experience a loss, we grieve. We grieve for losing our jobs, loved ones, relationships, finances, or identity. I bring comprehensive knowledge of therapeutic techniques to my practice and a deep empathy from my own experiences with losses. By guiding individuals through the seemingly insurmountable pain, I empower them to navigate their grief with resilience and courage. My therapeutic approach helps clients handle their suffering and find growth opportunities as they courageously rebuild their lives.

My aim is to support clients to feel empowered to achieve their personal goals and feel confident in their everyday life.
If you are experiencing challenges or changes in your life, please know you are not alone. I support clients to make sense of what they are feeling, to better understand their situation, and secure coping strategies to help them with what they are going through so they can feel empowered, more in control and be fully present in their everyday life. Moving from a place of stress, worry and confusion, to a place of understanding, open discussions and empowered action. As a highly sensitive person myself, I enjoy supporting other highly sensitive people to better understand themselves and navigate the world.

Sometimes things feel like they are too hard. Sometimes we may feel like we are 'stuck' because of a challenging situation or from a past pattern of behaviour that doesn't seem to let us go. Sometimes our thoughts seem to go around and around and take control of our actions. Sometimes, we just don't know which direction we need to head in, or want to head in, and why. These transitions in life need some time to process. And sometimes it feels like nobody understands us and we just need someone to talk to and to find a bit of grounding and presence.
