I work with individuals, couples and professionals, offering a grounded, respectful and practical approach to therapy. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, burnt out or disconnected, we’ll work together to understand what’s happening beneath the surface... and find a way forward that feels right for you.
I specialise in anxiety, relationship conflict, emotional reactivity, addiction and long-standing patterns that feel hard to shift. I also support clients with anger management and emotional regulation, with a strong focus on building awareness, control and deeper connection.
I work with many couples facing conflict, disconnection or communication issues, including those navigating separation or long-term patterns. I also support people dealing with anger, emotional reactivity and addiction, using calm, evidence-based approaches that focus on lasting change.
With 20+ years in high-pressure roles across sport, government and corporate settings, I understand how stress, relationships and expectations can collide. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, addiction, anger or relationship challenges, I’ll meet you where you are... and we’ll work from there.
