Deeply self-aware and neurodivergent people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted from constantly holding everything together. Some of my clients come to counselling feeling lost in questions of identity, belonging, relationships, self-worth, grief, trauma, life transitions, or the lasting impact of difficult experiences. They may be struggling to understand themselves, navigate change, process emotions, or find a way forward that feels authentic and sustainable. At the heart of my work is helping people see themselves as whole human beings, not problems to be fixed.
Imagine carrying a bag through life. Over time, things get added to it, and eventually it feels heavy, though you're not always sure why. Together, we can gently unpack it, making sense of what you've been carrying and what still belongs. I tailor my approach to you, often using imagery, curiosity and creative exploration.
Looking for a counsellor can feel a little like searching for a stranger and hoping they'll understand something deeply personal. You don't need perfect words before reaching out. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, lost, disconnected, or simply curious about yourself, we can begin wherever you are.

People often come to me carrying questions about who they are, where they belong, or why life feels harder than it should. Together, we make sense of your experiences, relationships and the stories you hold about yourself. Rather than focusing on fixing you, I can help you understand yourself more deeply, reconnect with your strengths and move through life with greater clarity and self-compassion.

As an integrative counsellor, I draw on person-centred, psychodynamic, Gestalt, embodied and creative approaches depending on your needs. I tailor therapy to the person sitting in front of me rather than following a one-size-fits-all model. Our sessions might involve conversation, reflection, imagery, creativity or exploring patterns and experiences together.
