It gets full-on at times. Life feels demanding, people seem harsh or confusing, the hurt feels overwhelming, and the answers seem so far away. Other times, you’re left wondering what the point of it all is, and whether there is more to life. I want to help however I can. Helping people to understand themselves, navigate relationships, perceive the world more clearly, and discover meaning in life brings me great joy. Even better is helping people find their own innate resources to cope and to heal.

I am super passionate about my work as a Counsellor after many years of working in the corporate world left me searching for a more fulfilling and meaningful career. I find that so many of my clients echo this search – in addition to wanting to address their day-to-day life struggles – they are searching for something more. And this is where I love to be, fully attentive, empathising with my clients but most of all working alongside them to explore ways of improving all aspects of their lives, be that work, relationships, childhood attachment wounds or trauma.

My ideal client is feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or at a crossroads — often after years of being the one others rely on. They may be navigating a life change, burnout, or simply feeling disconnected from themselves. They want clarity, emotional support, and practical tools to manage anxiety, build resilience, and reconnect with what matters. Above all, they’re seeking a safe, compassionate space to feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful change.
