Are life's demands feeling hard to manage? Grappling with anxiety, low mood, or maybe something just feels off?
I'm here to offer a calm, non-judgmental space where we can gently explore whatever you're carrying and find ways to feel more grounded. I welcome everyone to this space, and I especially offer a safe, affirming place for gay and queer clients around identity, relationships, belonging, and living more openly.
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent twenty years in the high-pressure film industry. I understand how chronic stress, long hours, burnout, and people-pleasing can affect wellbeing, mood, and sense of self. As a Compassionate Inquiry Trainee, I use compassionate, person-centred, and emotion-focused approaches to uncover root causes and support change.
I’m here to offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can finally set down whatever you've been carrying alone. We all deserve a life that feels truly ours - not just functional, but alive and meaningful. My hope is that you leave sessions feeling clearer, more grounded, and more yourself. If this resonates, I invite you to reach out.
