I'm an experienced therapist offering therapy sessions to individuals and couples in-person and online. I believe deeply in the potentials of compassion, empathy and self-awareness as a means of healing psychological wounds and helping us reach our full potential. People seek counselling for all kinds of different reasons, from stress, anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, relationship problems, and many others. I aim to build an authentic and trusting relationship with the clients I work with and cultivate an environment of unconditional acceptance and non-judgement to work through whatever issues they may need to explore.

People come to therapy for many reasons. Some are dealing with anxiety, low mood, stress, or relationship issues; others feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next steps. Many want a space where they can talk openly, feel heard, and understand themselves better. Therapy can support people in making sense of emotions and experiences, managing challenges, and developing skills that help them feel more balanced, confident, and connected to themselves. Therapy with me is just that, it's tailored to you and your unique needs and therapy goals.

I provide support for people wanting to make a change to their lives in order to live well and live healthy. Changing an element of your lifestyle can be extremely challenging, for example managing your weight, stopping smoking or reducing alcohol consumption. Often these factors are tied up with the complexities of our lives, managing stress, living with illness, overcoming obstacles in our lives. I work with people to help them make lasting and meaningful changes to behaviours that are causing them difficulties and find ways to improve overall health and wellbeing.

Is this what life was supposed to feel like?
Perhaps you’ve hit some milestones - but now you're at a crossroads. Maybe you're questioning your career, struggling with your old friendships, processing a break-up, or just feeling like something is missing? You can’t shake the nagging feeling that life wasn’t supposed to feel like this.

Let go of comparison.
So that you can feel clear about your future, and confident to start living your life again!
