I specialise in family-based trauma, grief and adolescent issues for clients who feel like they want more out of life but just can't get there. I have lived, studied and breathed being stuck in family patterns (past or present) and figured out what helps to heal and create a life you are excited to live. I love to work with clients to understand them, process their experiences and work together on their goals so they can thrive, not just exist.

For adults seeking 1-1 support from an experienced and caring psychologist. Together we can work on issues such as adjusting to life changes, symptoms of anxiety and depression or simply getting your mojo back. I created Anahata Psychology and Consulting Practice to facilitate change, with Heart. I’m a big fan of telehealth. I’ve spent time teaching online in universities, so when COVID came, the move to online psychotherapy was easy for me. Telehealth suits people who don’t necessarily have the time to come into an office or prefer the privacy of their own home. Instead of paper handouts, I give you links.

My aim in counselling is to foster a sense of safety and empowerment - a feeling of resolve and purpose that comes from connecting to our deeper selves, our values, and our strengths. I want you to finish a session feeling excited, stimulated and hopeful. I aim to promote inisights - intellectual or emotional. And clarity - a sense of knowing who you are and what you are capable of. And, ultimately, resolve: the desire and confidence to make changes, take action, and live for yourself. I look forward to connecting with you in kindness and understanding, and guiding you to that place where you feel confident and at home.
