For some of us trauma from our past is captivating enough to feel stuck and hold us back to fully become who we are suppose to be or experience of loss and grief impact our well-being and challenge our mental health.

I work with people who may be struggling with trauma, anxiety or self esteem related to relationships.
I specialise in wellness for women, because even the strongest among us need a hand sometimes. Stress and worry are a normal part of life but can become problematic when they dominate and impact our quality of life and relationships. The same goes for addictive habits. Sometimes things we’ve ignored and avoided can no longer be kept down. In other cases, we are blind-sided by experiences out of our control - loss, grief, depression, anxiety, traumatic events and relationships, and unexpected or unwanted change. We all have the capacity to heal and change, and I offer a safe and supportive space in which you can do your work.

Much pain and anxiety occur when, through grief, trauma, or simply through difficult life experiences, we disconnect internally and we are no longer able to understand ourselves.
My overall purpose of counselling and psychotherapy is to help you untangle your mind and reconnect the dots so that you can get back in touch with your essence and take charge of your life. The purpose of PsychoEnergetic therapy is to connect you back with who you truly are rather than who you were conditioned to be – to reconnect you to your inner wisdom and guidance, your innermost dreams and your fundamental purpose. It enables you to connect to the existential reality of life so that you can gain a level of acceptance of anything that can’t be changed. This will help you to find the courage to change those things you can.
