Clients have come to me for many different reasons. From dealing with past traumas, connecting with their emotions and understanding their reactions, to working on a better sense of self and building confidence. Each client comes to therapy seeking a safe and non-judgmental space to unpack their thoughts and emotions. They often come because they don't feel heard in their day-to-day life, or need somewhere to explore emotions without fear of reactions or feelings of guilt.
I help clients by offering a trusting, safe non-judgmental platform wherein I work collaboratively with them, human to human, supporting them in exploring what makes them who they are, identifying their needs, becoming more attuned to their emotions and offering them the tools to better cope when life inevitably throws a curve ball as it so often does.
Emotions are complex and we often have them invalidated by others, and ourselves. What you are feeling is valid but may be difficult to understand, leaving us feeling lonely or confused. To me, there is no greater honour than a client allowing me to hold a space for them to explore what they are feeling and supporting them in finding a way forward.

I trained as an Integrative therapist, meaning that I have a knowledge and understanding of multiple modalities that I have applied to different clients. I believe there is no 'one size fits all' therapy, and as such, work collaboratively with my clients to use the approach/approaches that they feel comfortable with,
