It has become increasingly apparent in recent years that talking to somebody outside of your family or friendship circle can bring a refreshing perspective to difficult life issues. By providing a therapy space where you can feel heard and accepted without bias, you are encouraged to share and explore those detrimental issues that have prevented you from totally embracing life.

Life can feel really difficult at times. Perhaps you have experienced events in the past that are still having a big impact on the quality of your life now? Or are you facing a major life challenge such as bereavement, loss, ill health, relationship issues etc?

On the outside you may look like you're coping, but inside you feel overwhelmed, anxious or burnt out. I work with high-functioning individuals struggling with pressure, perfectionism and the constant need to keep going. Having worked in the demanding music industry myself, I understand the burnout, anxiety and self-doubt that can come with high-performance environments. If you feel like you're holding everything together while struggling behind the scenes, you're not alone. I currently have limited availability for new clients on Mondays and Wednesdays (online and in person).

I work with individuals (18+) who are seeking to increase their self awareness and to better understand how they think, feel and act. My therapeutic approach can help you take notice of unhelpful relational patterns that feel automatic and cause distress, worry and self doubt. As you progress in therapy, you will feel more able to respond to stressors with greater flexibility and confidence. This frees you up to think and act in a manner that serves your needs better and helps you achieve the sustainable balance you seek.

Life can sometimes feel heavier than you expected, and you may find yourself carrying more than you’ve ever said out loud. You might feel worn down, unsure of your direction, or simply not like yourself. I understand how overwhelming that can be. I offer a calm, steady space where you can talk openly and begin to make sense of what’s been happening. Together, we can explore what’s weighing on you and what it might look like to move forward in a way that feels more grounded.
