Psychotherapy offers a space to explore these states safely - To learn about yourself and devise ways to manage these states effectively. YOU are the expert in your own life - I would be honoured to walk alongside you to support you to find and develop your inner knowing and direction.

Guys…I know well that sometimes it may feel hard or impossible to narrow down what exactly you may be struggling with, or when your gut tells you things aren’t quite right. Sometimes we may have a fair idea, but what’s the next step? Often our thoughts and feelings take a back seat, being dismissed or ignored. However, often these unmet thoughts and feelings can manifest into forms of depression, lack of self-worth, grief, addiction or anger. I would say for a lot of us, talking with friends or family seems impossible. Sound familiar?

Everyone has their own strengths and potentials - often all you need is a leg-up to help reach for them. We experience life differently, too. One person's anger, trauma, grief or self-doubt is not the same as the next person's. My interests in animals, nature and outdoor sports taught me to value the whole person; mind, body, heart and intuition. So you won't have to perform in any way. Each session is designed for you, based on Master’s degree-level expertise, evidence-based approaches, compassion, respect and experience.

I am a passionate advocate for authentic, open and respectful collaborative relationships with my clients, believing it is the first step in empowering positive personal change and reduced emotional suffering. I value the restorative nature of counselling as an opportunity to reflect on values, goals and expectations and to promote self-awareness and personal growth. I can support you to discover the source of your concerns and by uncovering and exploring barriers and potential roadblocks, guide you towards goal-orientated solutions for positive, sustainable change.

As an Accredited Social Worker with over 25 years experiences, I am aware of how difficult it can be to take the first step in reaching out for support. I am aware that for many clients, this may also be the very first time they have spoken with a counsellor, and may be ready to disclose an extremely distressing and/or traumatic experience. When we take into account our very human differences, human strengths, our upbringings, our cultural and religious experiences, I have the responsibility to demonstrate to you trust, safety, dignity, kindness, and uphold the ethics and standards of my profession, Social Work.

Those times when someone says, "I have been everywhere", or "tried everything", and they feel worn down by their emotional pain or discomfort are times when the therapeutic space I offer can bring back hope, reduce pain (emotional, physical or spiritual pain) and enhance life flow for an individual. Leading people out of their suffering is what shapes and underpins my business, services and life. I work holistically, with a client centred approach and often work with those who have re-occurring or persistent emotional, spiritual or financial stress, or chronic health conditions, to bring relief and peace to their life and inner world.

I consider it a great privilege to listen to people’s stories and support them as they work through challenges, towards a more meaningful, fulfilling life. Everyone needs support at key times in their life and we don't need to carry heavy burdens on our own.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
