Counselling in L1
Are you feeling overwhelmed, depressed or anxious? Do you feel haunted by your past? Does it feel like you’re not in the driving seat of your own life, repeating the same patterns of behaviour that have a negative impact on you or others around you? Do you want things to change? It’s very easy in today’s world to become lost, not able to navigate our way through and find meaning, which can lead to feeling like we have no compass guiding us. We might lean on people, places or behaviours that help us to cope in the moment but take away our power. I work with people who want to find their way again.

I’ve been a client twice, the first time for over 2 years. So I understand how hard it is to be vulnerable and open up to someone. I also know that therapy can make a big positive difference in our mental health and relationships, by helping us discover who we truly are, work through tough feelings from the past and present, and be ourselves, unapologetically.
I’m familiar with feelings like sadness, guilt, shame, anger, and anxiety; these are part of being human. Therapy helps us recognise these feelings, name them, and learn ways to manage them. I offer counselling in English, French, or Arabic.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious or stuck in patterns that you don’t understand, counselling can help you make sense of what’s happening and begin to move you forward. You may be struggling with your relationships, self-esteem, difficult family experiences, trauma or a sense that you’re never quite good enough. Together, we can explore where these patterns come from and what you need to feel more secure, confident and in control of your life.

You've recognised the patterns, how narcissistic abuse shaped your sense of self, how your relationship repeats the same painful cycles, how you've adapted in ways that no longer serve you. You're not looking for crisis management or surface-level coping strategies. You want to understand the deeper mechanisms at play and do the work to change them. You're ready for a therapist who takes you seriously & works at the level of depth you're seeking.

I work with adults who may feel overwhelmed, stuck or unsure of who they are.

Together, we create a safe, accepting space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace, develop greater self-understanding, and move towards a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.

I am a person centred counsellor and also have a qualification in cognitive behavioural therapy. I believe counselling is a journey of self-discovery and personal development that is a continual process both during and after therapy has taken place. Through counselling, a person will learn about themselves in a way they would never intend or maybe expect. As a counsellor I will be alongside you on your therapeutic journey and create a safe space that is respectful and non-biased to allow you to discover yourself and work through any issues that may be troubling you.
