Thank you for being here! Are you dealing with the effects of trauma, relationship issues, addiction, or just feeling overwhelmed? No matter how big or small the problem seems, I would be honoured to support you on this journey. In our work together, we can unpack your emotions and triggers, and use the tools you have within yourself to guide change. I’ll provide a space for you to slow down and explore the patterns affecting your life. I also focus on emotions, because changing your thoughts doesn’t always change how you feel. Together, we can work through these core issues, helping you build a more fulfilling and balanced life.
As a relational therapist trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, we will focus on developing more effective ways to manage and respond to your emotions rather than ignoring them. I provide a safe and supportive space where we can explore and understand the impact of our emotions, thoughts and behaviours, in order to develop effective strategies for change.
Having navigated my own experiences of trauma and anxiety, I bring a profound sense of empathy to our work together. I understand the challenges of being vulnerable, but I've also witnessed how embracing vulnerability can lead to remarkable healing. Please know that I’m here with you, ready to walk alongside you in your journey towards healing and growth.

I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) as it helps individuals and couples deepen emotional connections and address underlying issues by focusing on emotional responses. EFT is grounded in the belief that emotions are key to understanding and improving relationships. By exploring and validating these emotions, clients can shift negative patterns of interaction, fostering more secure bonds.
