seem to gravitate towards my services more than most.
People seeking psychological services know that it is a deeply personal experience to connect with another human being trying to improve their life experience. I have always believed in personal service, the one-on-one conversation where the person feels heard and validated, instead of big business where clients feel like a number. I aim to be respectful and connected and ensure a high standard of care for all my clients.

I specialise in Grief and Loss relating to (loss of job, home,
child
or significant person, relationships, body function due to illness or trauma), Emotional regulation (relating to disorders and disability, illness and pain, anxiety, trauma) and Personal development (self-esteem, spirituality and positive relationship between mind and body).
My approach is client centred and holistic with the client’s emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing the focus of my sessions. I believe in a mind-body connection and understand the power in releasing emotion that we often store in our bodies when it doesn’t feel safe to express. This can be the result of trauma or life experience that prevents us from living with a sense of stability or peace and often without the ability of knowing what to do with these big emotions.
Children
especially struggle with this, and Art therapy provides them with the opportunity to express these feelings without the pressure of using words.
