I provide telehealth counselling (phone or video) to adults seeking support for a wide spectrum of life experiences and challenges. Whether you are navigating grief, relationship concerns, stress, anxiety, life transitions, or pursuing deeper self-understanding, my practice is responsive to your unique needs. My approach blends evidence-based modalities with a sensitivity to the language and meaning of your lived experience, creating a therapeutic space where your story is valued and your strengths are recognised. Together, we foster meaningful dialogue, reflection, and personal growth.
I offer a flexible, strengths-focused approach tailored to your communication style and preferences. Through attentive listening and thoughtful conversation, I help clarify your thoughts, deepen emotional insight, and support you in reframing patterns. My goal is to nurture resilience, confidence, and purposeful progress across a broad range of concerns.
It’s natural to feel hesitant about seeking support, especially if you’ve been carrying challenges by yourself. You’re not alone in this process, and reaching out is a courageous step. If you’re considering counselling, I invite you to a free 15-minute consultation to discuss your needs, ask questions, and explore whether my approach is a good fit for you.

I often use a combination of evidence-based modalities in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate modality to help you make progress, depending on your situation and goals in therapy.
