I work with sensitive, kind and self-aware people who feel things deeply and know there has to be more beneath the surface of their experiences that they can't make sense of on their own. Many people come to me feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in repeating patterns, disconnected, feeling lost, lack of confidence or searching for deeper meaning and clarity. Through intuitive counselling, emotional insight and energy work, I help people understand what’s really going on beneath the surface on multiple levels, so they can heal, reconnect with who they really are and move forward feeling more empowered, confident and at peace.

You might be holding things together on the surface — managing work, relationships, and responsibilities — while underneath feeling anxious, stuck, or under constant pressure to cope.
You may notice patterns you can’t quite shift.
Overthinking conversations long after they’ve happened. Being hard on yourself in ways others don’t see. Or finding the same difficulties showing up in relationships, even when you try to do things differently.
Something about it doesn’t fully make sense — but it keeps happening.

To date I have worked with clients who experience: deep loneliness and isolation; anxiety and/or depression which takes up so much of their life and stops them from connecting with what they want to do and how they want to be; who want to change their outlook of their life; who have an inability to cope with recent or continual change; who experience unhappiness with their work/life balance or relationship issues; who are impacted by or have been impacted by domestic violence.

Domestic Abuse Counsellors
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognise that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.
When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.
What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.
How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
