Are you familiar with the internal crow that constantly promotes negative and self-critical thoughts? I want to help you connect with your inner Robin bird, which patiently awaits discovery through self-care, self-acceptance, and self-compassion. My role is to help you understand and appreciate how each person's unique background and experiences shape their perception of themselves, others, and the world. I aim to provide guidance in comprehending and making sense of both comfortable and uncomfortable emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that often impede your overall well-being in adulthood.
As an integrative counsellor, I draw on various modes best suited for each clients needs. Your journey may involve us looking into your childhood, helping you to understand where behaviours, thoughts and feelings come from, making connections, helping you to make sense of things and in turn subsequent change through new self awareness.
My goal is to truly listen within a safe holding environment, highlighting the therapeutic connection as being a fundamental part towards your growth and change. I am committed to setting aside my own opinions, desires, and judgments and standing beside you as you embark on your journey of transformation, whatever that may entail for you.

I use Humanistic, Psychoanalytical and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy depending on the individuals needs. We may likely tap into all modes during our time together but essentially it will be different for each client. Its important that I identify my clients learning style so I can tailor the work as this can contribute to processing, retaining and the way clients apply information.
