Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected? You're not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it alone. I help people work through anxiety, stress, trauma, dissociation, and relationship struggles by creating a safe, collaborative space where your inner world can be understood, not judged. My clients often say they feel truly seen and supported, sometimes for the first time in their lives. I use a compassionate and evidence-based approach, from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Metacognitive Therapy (MCT), ACT, Ericksonian Hypnosis, and somatic techniques. These methods help us go deeper than surface-level coping,

Rising from within with clarity, meaning, and hope! Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, leaving you stuck in the same cycle of frustration, anger, or sadness. Whether you’re navigating challenges in relationships, marriage, parenting, or your career, these moments of feeling lost or unmotivated can make it hard to move forward. I work with individuals who are ready to take the first step toward clarity and emotional well-being. My clients are those who recognise that something needs to change and are seeking a supportive, nurturing space to explore their thoughts and emotions. I see children +8, women, parents, couple and elderly.
