I see people who can feel stuck, and anxious in relationships, overly responsible, or carrying self-doubt. They may long for closeness yet fear it, repeating patterns that leave them feeling unseen or misunderstood. Deep down, they want relief, clarity, and the ability to trust themselves. Their goal is to heal old wounds, find healthier ways of relating, and finally feel at ease in their own skin and connected in their relationships.

The mind and body are inseparable systems. When one heals, the other follows.
The mind and body are inseparable systems, constantly influencing how we think, feel, and act. When stress or uncertainty take hold, neural pathways narrow, and clarity fades.
Through neuroscience-informed counselling and integrative coaching, I help you restore balance to your nervous system and strengthen the neural connections that support calm, confidence, and emotional intelligence. This is not simply about coping; it’s about rewiring the brain for long-term resilience.

Not Accepting New Clients at the time.
I believe passionately in being flexible, tailoring sessions, supporting personal development, growth, and insight with evidence based practices. My work is informed by mindfulness, attachment theory, schema therapy, family systems theory, and science. High achievers can appear to be fine on the outside but harbour problems on the inside that they know are impacting their personal lives. Therapy is a safe space to address subtle, chronic, and even complex mental health concerns. Many clients can recognise patterns in their mental health.

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
