Life can be tough sometimes. But I fully believe that each and every one of us is equipped to overcome adversity and challenges, and I am passionate about helping my clients discover and develop their innate tools to bring about healing and growth.
I offer a safe and confidential space for clients to process past trauma, grief and loss as well as explore existential issues, anxiety and low mood/depression. As a qualified integrative counsellor, my work is rooted in the person-centred model, but also draws on psychodynamic, CBT and existential approaches according to the presenting issues.
I know that taking the first step to counselling can be daunting, but my aim is to offer warmth and empathy without judgement. I would encourage you to reach out and begin the journey towards making sense of yourself and your response to life’s challenges.
