Life can be a lot to handle, but you don’t have to deal with it on your own. I offer a safe, supportive, and confidential space where you can talk openly and feel truly heard without judgement. Reaching out for help can be hard, but I’m here to make the process as easy and manageable as possible. Therapy is a space for reflection, growth and moments of joy as well as challenges. We’ll work together at your pace, exploring what you want to change, and helping you work out your own best ways to get there, with trust, understanding and openness.
This world can be hard for all of us. I will listen to, support, and value you as we navigate your journey together. My expertise includes helping people affected by relationship difficulties, grief, childhood trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, sexual assault, questions about identity and confusion about how to be yourself in the world.
Inclusivity is at the heart of my practice. I strive to be race and culturally aware, am LGBTQIA+ allied, neuro-affirming, and often work with those with neurodivergent diagnoses. I work face to face or online. To help you take that first step, I offer a free 15-minute consultation by phone or online, so we can connect and see if I’m the right fit for you.

Therapy is an investment, and also needs to be affordable, especially in these times that are difficult for many of us. I offer concessionary rates by negotiation or other approaches like sessions every other week to try to help to find a workable balance.

I began working in therapeutic settings in psychodynamic therapeutic communities in 1994, and completed my most recent training in 2024. I think continuous training and development is essential for a therapist, and am currently studying for a Masters in Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice.

I'm an integrative counsellor, using mainly an existential approach informed by psychodynamic ideas. This means the relationship we make is central, and therapy is a kind of exploring together, led by you, of what you want to change, how life brings you here and how you want to grow. Doing this, you gain understanding and control and make more fulfilling relationships with yourself and others.
