Having worked for many years as a community pharmacist, I’ve seen how often mental health needs are overlooked—especially when cultural or religious backgrounds aren’t fully understood or respected. These experiences led me to train as a counsellor, so I could offer more supportive, inclusive care to those facing emotional challenges.

If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, you’re not alone. You may be carrying old wounds, people-pleasing patterns, or tension in your body you can’t quite explain. You might be tired of holding everything together on your own and longing for clarity and steadiness. I offer a gentle, grounded space where we can explore why things feel this way and begin to untangle patterns that no longer serve you, slowly, safely, and at your pace.

You’re someone others depend on, the one who keeps things moving, holds things together, and rarely lets things drop.
From the outside, you seem capable and in control. But internally, it can feel heavier than it looks. You might find yourself overthinking, stretched, or quietly carrying more than anyone realises.

The therapeutic process helps identify and understand what is happening in your inner world, in your relationships, your behavioural patterns and the difficulties in you experience. I work holistically with an evidence based theoretical framework. I believe that fundamentally we seek to know ourselves, to attune to our relationships, and to make sense of our story. These insights provide a foundation for a stronger sense of self, more fulfilling relationships, and an expanded perspective on life. Whilst therapy can provide symptomatic relief, my hope is that it will also bring you deeper awareness and sustainable progress.

Sometimes, you feel that you can talk to trusted family or friends. However, at this moment, a private, secluded space may be what you need because you feel depressed, low, anxious, scared, or hopeless because of a current situation or something that happened in previous relationships. As a result unwanted thoughts or images keep feeding overwhelming feelings and unwanted behaviours. These feelings, thoughts, and behaviours feel too difficult to understand, manage, or share with anyone, leaving you feeling alone or misunderstood. I offer privacy and a trusted space where you can share your experiences at your own pace.

I work integratively and welcome you as you are in mind, body and spirit. It can be helpful to have a non-judgmental and confidential space to explore what is happening in your life with someone who is not a part of your friend or family group. This is especially true in times of crisis or inner conflict, as well as the times when we feel isolated or unable to manage change. I believe that when we encounter difficulties in life, time and attention are sources for healing, integration and growth. It is this deeper listening and facilitation that is at the heart of the therapeutic relationship.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
