I believe that counselling is about providing a safe, non-judgmental space where clients have the autonomy to explore their needs at their own time and pace. With over 15 years of extensive experience working with trauma in both adults and young people, I am trained in trauma-informed approaches and specialise in supporting those with low self-worth. I understand, counselling can sometimes feel daunting. By fostering a trusting, supportive, and comfortable therapeutic relationship, I strive to help my clients achieve growth and healing.

Are you feeling lost and confused? Are thoughts whirling in your head leaving you feeling exhausted? Maybe you have a major life decision to make, or have had to adjust to a change that you did not want? Do all your relationships end the same way, and you want to learn how to stop repeating the pattern? Whatever reason you have for looking for counselling, I’d like to reassure you that I have probably already helped someone in your situation, and I can help you. The first step, asking for help, is the hardest.

I work with individuals, couples, and families who are navigating emotional and relational patterns, including neurodivergent experience, anxiety, low mood, parenting stress, and family conflict, in ways that honour your unique story.
Clients sometimes wonder whether difference, cultural, religious, or otherwise, will get in the way. In my experience, what matters most is genuine curiosity, respect, and the ability to talk openly about what’s present. I won’t impose interpretations or focus on culture, family, or identity unless it feels relevant to you and to the work we’re doing.

Parenting Counsellors
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.

When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.

How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
