My biggest inspiration has always been people. Over the past decade, I’ve found real joy in supporting individuals, couples and families to deepen emotional awareness, build understanding and compassion and move toward goals that feel meaningful. I’ve supported people through major life transitions and significant mental health challenges and I especially connect with marginalised and racialised folk. Many of the people I work with feel out of step with what society expects of them and together we work to de-gaslight those narratives, reconnect with inner resources and shape a future that actually aligns with their values.
I believe we are all resourceful beings and sometimes it helps to have someone alongside you to support accessing that. That’s where I come in. My style is open, warm and collaborative. I work holistically, utilising systemic practice, narrative therapy and CBT. As a qualified yoga teacher, incorporate mind-body connection when that feels supportive.
Reaching out can be hard, even being here is already a win! I’m happy to answer any questions and offer a free, no commitment, 15-minute informal conversation to see whether working together feels like a good fit.
