I welcome adults and couples seeking support for a range of concerns, including anxiety, mood difficulties, relationship challenges, self-esteem, substance use, grief, trauma, or navigating neurodivergence. Many clients initially attend feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about their next steps. I employ a collaborative, compassionate, neuro-affirming, and strengths-based approach, working alongside clients to foster insight and self-compassion. Together, we tailor evidence-based therapies to individual needs and explore practical strategies in alignment with each person's unique context and goals.
With 19 years’ experience, a Master in Psychology (Organisational) and a Master in Counselling, I offer a warm, integrative approach using EMDR, IFS, Ego State Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, DBT, ACT, CBT, and Narrative Therapy. For couples, I use Emotionally Focused and Gottman Therapy. I have a special interest in neurodivergence, including Autism and ADHD.
I understand that reaching out for support can feel daunting. I am here to listen with compassion and respect, meeting you wherever you are in your journey. If you would like to discuss your concerns in a safe and supportive environment, I invite you to connect and explore how we might work together.
