I have experience and specialise in helping clients heal from trauma and adverse childhood events, navigate relationship difficulties (including dating app dilemmas), patterns of attachment and help to build self-esteem and confidence. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and insight-driven, helping my clients understand how past experiences may be impacting their life today, and more importantly, what they can do to move forward. Feeling stuck in life can stop us from being the best version of ourselves, and while we can't change the past, we can most certainly influence what happens next.
I help you to find solutions to and provide relief from negative feelings, life difficulties and problems. Counselling can help identify changes in ways of thinking and patterns of behaviour, providing new options in how you live your life.
Life can feel overwhelming when you're caught in the middle of difficult emotions, strained relationships, or unresolved family issues. If you're feeling stuck, not coping or weighed down you're not alone—and you don't have to work through it on your own. In our sessions, we'll explore what's been going on in a safe and supportive space.

I work with people going through tough times whether you're feeling down or dealing with stuff from relationships or family. In our first few sessions we'll look at what's been going on and what might need to get you back on track. Most clients start noticing improvement and change as we work together.

Many of the individuals I support are carrying the weight of past trauma, adverse childhood experiences or challenging relationships. As a psychodynamic relational therapist what happens in counselling is to help you connect past experiences with present day struggles, in order to create positive change.. While we can't change the past, we most certainly can influence what comes next.
