I help adults and couples who want to have healthy and supportive relationships but instead find themselves feeling misunderstood, unheard, and unhappy. My clients find that issues with romantic partners, family or friends, can be difficult and unfulfilling. They feel lonely and disconnected.
Relationships can be challenging; I understand and can help. Together, we'll discover your hidden skills, values, and knowledge that will help you to build strong connections. You'll gain a deeper understanding of yourself and others, learn effective communication strategies, and develop the skills to navigate conflict constructively.
I began my career as a successful artist before earning a master’s in counselling. For nearly 20 years, I’ve helped people find strength, healing, and new perspectives. I’ve presented internationally on narrative therapy, trauma, and domestic violence, and worked as a Counsellor and Clinical Supervisor at New Start Counselling and Bridges Institute.
