At some point in our lives we all need additional support to deal with personal issues and problems that affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Starting counselling can be difficult, however it is the first step to the support and guidance you need. As a client centered therapist I work on the concept that every client is an individual. I will work with you to improve the way you are thinking and feeling.

You may be successful but your worries and tendency to go over worst case scenarios in your head are so hard to control. Perhaps your anxiety is making it difficult for you to sleep well, relax, causing problems in your relationships, or bringing on panic attacks. You may have been coping by trying to block the worries out or avoid the situations that trigger your anxiety, but this is only making it harder for you to be present in your life and relationships the way you want to be. I'm here to help and let you know that you can learn to live life in the moment and learn to trust in your coping skills again.

Sometimes the barriers we face aren’t just in the mind—they’re held in the body too. Fatigue, tension, or feeling disconnected from yourself can make even small changes feel impossible. In therapy, I help you: - Make sense of recurring patterns. - Understand how mind and body may be keeping you stuck. - Develop kinder, more sustainable ways forward. Together, we explore not just how you think, but how you feel and live day to day—so you can rebuild confidence, create lasting habits, and reconnect with the version of yourself that feels most authentic.

Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re carrying things that others can’t see. You might feel stuck, anxious, burnt out, or unsure why you’re not coping. You may also feel misaligned or uncertain about what comes next. I don’t offer quick fixes or advice, I offer a safe, non-judgemental space for counselling or coaching, to explore what’s going on at your pace. For trauma or distressing events, I use gentle approaches like the Rewind Technique, which can help you process difficult memories without having to relive them in detail. Sometimes, having someone who really listens is the first step.
