If you are someone who is feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges, whether you are dealing with anxiety, relationship struggles, or transitions in your personal or professional life, I am here to support you, You may seek a safe and non-judgmental space to express your thoughts and feelings, and you need guidance in navigating your emotions and gaining clarity on your goals. By working together, I aim to empower you to discover your strengths, develop coping strategies, and achieve a greater sense of balance.
My areas of specialisation include Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Exposure Therapy, and a Person-Centred Approach, tailored to address a range of issues such as anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties. By combining these approaches, I empower clients to take control of their mental health and well-being.
As I reflect on my own journey of navigating trauma, chronic illnesses, and mental health challenges, I'm reminded of the impact that empathetic and personalised support can have on the healing process. Through my lived experience, I've developed a deep understanding of the complexities and nuances of these struggles, allowing me to connect with my clients.
