Too often I hear stories of people struggling in silence, battling inner thoughts and not knowing what to do with them. Shrouded in fear and shame, they do their best to navigate their daily lives hoping things will get better, but sometimes the struggle continues. Seeing a counsellor can help ease this burden. Whether it's about relationships, careers, family or personal challenges, talking to a trusted counsellor can be the start of offloading these troubling thoughts and allowing space for clarity, growth and direction.
I offer counselling services for individuals, couples and families. I have 20 years of experience working with adolescents and their families/caregivers. As a counsellor, I hope to create a safe space for my clients to be able to explore their inner thoughts and challenges, and to rediscover their hidden strength and wisdom.
I incorporate a variety of therapeutic practices including but not limited to Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Collaborative Family Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. My therapeutic approach is influence by various researches around neuroscience, trauma, polyvagal theory, attachment theory and addictions.
