Feeling overwhelmed, stuck in familiar patterns, or facing a transition that's quietly destabilising your sense of direction? Reaching out is a meaningful first step. I spent nearly 20 years in a demanding professional environment before becoming a therapist. I know what it's like to look capable while feeling depleted or disconnected underneath. What I learned is that clarity doesn't come from pushing harder, but from working with yourself rather than against yourself.
I work with people who are capable, self-aware, and tired of repeating patterns that no longer work, often in the context of burnout, anxiety, or major life transitions.
My work is grounded in a person-centred, humanistic approach. Therapy is collaborative, respectful of your autonomy, and tailored to your needs. I integrate approaches including CBT, Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness. Direct, collaborative therapy. Humour welcome.
