Life can be overwhelming, and whether you’re feeling stuck, anxious, or weighed down by past experiences, seeking support is a powerful first step toward change. Many of my clients come to me feeling lost, unsure of their next move, and often exhausted by the pressures of daily life. You might be wrestling with feelings of isolation, frustration, or a sense of “not being enough.” Therapy offers a safe and confidential space where you can slow down and work through challenges in a meaningful way. I work collaboratively with clients to overcome challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem issues.
As a person-centred therapist, I believe you have the strength and resilience to find your own answers. My role is to walk beside you as we explore your thoughts and feelings at your pace, but that doesn’t mean I won’t challenge you. I will encourage you to dig deeper, question old patterns, and consider new possibilities—all while being accepted and heard.
I specialise in working with LGBTQ+ individuals, providing a welcoming and affirming environment where you can feel seen, heard, and valued. Together, we can build resilience, celebrate your individuality, and work towards a future of self-acceptance and fulfilment. Your story matters. Your identity matters. Please reach out to start the process of healing.
