I work with individuals who are ready — whether confidently or cautiously — to explore what’s happening beneath the surface. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, substance use, or difficulties with identity and relationships. I often support people experiencing mental health concerns, alcohol and other drug (AOD) challenges, and members of the LGBTIQ+ community seeking a safe and supportive space. My approach is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. Together, we work at your pace using evidence-based strategies to help you feel heard, empowered, and supported
I often work with people who feel stuck in cycles they’re struggling to break — whether that’s challenges with alcohol and other drugs (AOD), ongoing mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, or trauma, or the experience of navigating identity, belonging, and relationships within the LGBTIQ+ community.
My approach is down-to-earth and collaborative — we work together at your pace, focusing on what matters most to you. I use evidence-based strategies, but more importantly, I aim to build a genuine connection that helps you feel safe, empowered, and understood. At Thrive Within, I am here to ensure you can envisage a new life that you have always wanted.

I am a person-centred, humanistic, solution-focused counsellor. I often use practical worksheets in my practice that will guide you through your recovery journey. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. I will always be guided by you and will work with your timeline.
