Change is inevitable so the saying goes. Changes in our relationships are changes we often feel deeply: with our partner; in our family; with our children as they grow; with our parents as they get older; in our workplace; with friends. We can also experience change in ourselves: the place we live; our health; our life goals. Mostly we have the capacity and resilience to thrive through change. But sometimes we experience frustration, hurt, pain, anger, sadness, despair. Sometimes we can feel stuck. It may be working with a counsellor like me will help better understand the experience and rediscover your resilience.

As your counsellor, I work with you to meet the challenges in your life as you experience them. In a safe, caring space you are free to express your feelings, be heard and understood: where you can honestly explore your concerns. Together, we can clarify what kind of life you want to live, recognise your strengths and resources, discover your options, increase your self-awareness, and develop strategies to help you live your life the way you choose. My background in the performing arts has given me an appreciation of the incredible diversity in perspectives and choices we make as individuals, and to truly value the human spirit.

I offer gentle, supportive therapy in person with kinesiology if you choose, or online via video call.
I offer professional counselling for teachers. As a teacher, you spend your days pouring energy into others: your students, your colleagues, your community. But who holds space for you? Imagine having a supportive space to decompress, where your thoughts can settle and you reconnect with your sense of purpose, both in your personal and work life. I help teachers release the tension they've been carrying in their bodies and minds, so they can show up fully for themselves and everyone in their world.
