Whether you’re a parent concerned about your child’s behaviour, a young person feeling overwhelmed, or an adult managing anxiety or life transitions, I’m here to help. Therapeutic approaches I use include: Play Therapy – using play to support emotional and behavioural needs in children and strengthen family connections Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) – to build emotional regulation, resilience, and communication skills Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – focusing on values-based living and gentle growth, even through life’s challenges Therapy focus areas: Anxiety Depression Stress
My approach is gentle, compassionate, and grounded in trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming practices. I work hard to create a safe, welcoming space where children, teens, and adults alike feel respected, understood, and supported – especially those who are neurodivergent or living with learning differences.

As a counsellor, I offer an integrative and holistic approach to therapy. This means draw
