If you're struggling with shame, anxiety, or existential concerns related to your religious background (whether you have left your religious community or are still happily a part of it), I'm here to help you move forward. Religion plays a huge role shaping our understanding of ourselves, our values, and the world around us. It can be a daunting but incredibly rewarding journey to open these ideas up for examination. My goal is to provide you with a safe, supportive space to explore, deconstruct, and create new understandings that feel true to who you are.

As a counsellor my role is to create a safe space for you to explore the issues that you are dealing with in your life, to find understanding, peace and resolution. If you are experiencing frustration, anxiety, depression or trauma from the challenges of everyday life, loss, bereavement, the end of relationships, or abuse, I am comfortable sitting with you and quietly exploring the emotions and thoughts which arise. I intentionally keep my fees affordable, so that cost isn't a barrier for people to access help.

You give so much to others — your family, your relationship, your work — but somewhere along the way, you’ve lost connection with yourself.
Maybe you’re:
In a relationship that feels disconnected or painful
A burnt-out mother who’s forgotten who she is
Single and tired of repeating the same dating patterns
In a partnership that’s struggling, and you don’t know what to do next
You’re craving clarity, connection, and real support. You want to feel seen, valued, and like you again — not just surviving, but truly living.
You're not broken. You're not failing.
You're just ready for change — and you don’t have to do it alone.

Have you spent years trying to understand yourself, only to find the same emotional patterns and relationship difficulties resurfacing? Insight can take you far, yet sometimes something deeper remains unmoved. Often, this is because trauma is not held only in thought. It is also held in the nervous system and in the protective responses the mind and body learned long before there were words for what was happening.

Trauma is something that affects many people and for some it is debilitating: insomnia, triggers, social anxiety, loss of confidence, relationship issues, life meaning, self-worth, etc. You've lived with it for so long, but just imagine the possibility of sharing the burden, gaining understanding, and feeling freedom as you're released from it. I am here to understand you, to listen respectfully, and to assist in finding what's right for you.

As a psychotherapist I create a field, I prepare the ground and the conditions, I set processes in motion, I resonate and synchronise with the rhythm of the person. I help the person to centre inside, to anchor in the body, in the present and in reality. What I am most interested in is the relationship people have with themselves. Most problems that occur in interpersonal relationships have to do with conflict within us. My work is about lowering fears, taking small and big courageous steps, regaining the capacity to love, rebuilding trust in ourselves so that we can find and follow our path.

Like roots growing quietly beneath the surface, I believe that healing happens when people feel safe, connected, and supported. When we feel connected, both within ourselves and with the communities around us, we can create the right conditions for meaningful and and lasting change, unfolding gently in its own time.
I bring a calm, compassionate, and curious presence and my experience in university services, hospitals, and in community teams reflect my deep commitment to offering accessible care. My practice offers a warm and grounded space where you can slow down and feel heard, and this is possible when we work collaboratively.

I offer in-person Counselling, Coaching and Supervision, face to face and via Zoom.
My ideal clients are women who look capable and successful on the outside but privately feel emotionally exhausted. Many grew up with emotionally immature or narcissistic parents and learnt that being responsible, keeping the peace, becoming the peacekeeper, or carrying everyone else's needs. They often struggle with people-pleasing, guilt, anxiety, self-doubt, hypervigilance, or difficulty setting boundaries. Together we'll make sense of these survival patterns, calm your nervous system, rebuild self-trust and healthy boundaries, help you reconnect with the woman you've always been beneath years of adapting to survive.
