Life can feel overwhelming at times—whether from anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, cultural pressures, or simply feeling “stuck.” Counselling offers a confidential, non-judgemental space to slow down, reflect, and begin making sense of things. Like the Japanese art of kintsugi—where broken pottery is repaired with gold—therapy can help us see that our cracks are part of our story. Healing doesn’t mean erasing what has happened, but instead finding new strength and meaning in the patterns we may have carried for too long. With support, those places of pain can become places of resilience, authenticity, and growth.
I offer a warm, supportive space to explore what’s been happening and find a way forward. I specialise in domestic abuse, child-to-parent violence (CAPVA), and relationship breakdown, including divorce, separation, family court, or workplace stress. My integrative, trauma-informed approach helps rebuild safety, confidence, and self-connection.
Having been on my own healing journey and supported survivors of domestic abuse, I understand the strength it takes to face difficult experiences. Therapy isn’t about fixing you, but about creating a safe, compassionate space to reconnect with yourself and take small, steps toward change. Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit

I support adults navigating divorce, domestic abuse, or child-to-parent violence (CAPVA). We'll explore what has been happening and how it's affected you, especially if you've felt isolated or disconnected from yourself or others. I also offer support through the challenges of family court or statutory services, helping you rebuild boundaries, safety, confidence, and calm. There is always hope.

I often use integrative integrative person-centred, trauma-informed and relational therapies, drawing on psychodynamic and CBT elements where helpful. You can expect a calm, supportive space to explore and make sense of your past and present experiences. Therapy can help connect the dots in your story, piece things back together, and build safety, clarity, self-connection and self compassion.
