It's completely natural to seek support when life feels overwhelming, confusing, or painful. You may be dealing with anxiety, depression, loss, relationship difficulties, or the long-term impact of childhood trauma. Or perhaps you’re feeling stuck, unsure of your direction, or simply want to know yourself better. Whatever brings you to therapy, it can be a powerful step towards healing, growth, and self-understanding.
I am a humanistic, creative counsellor, trained in Person-Centred Therapy, Gestalt, and existential approaches. My work is grounded in warmth, empathy, and a deep respect for your unique journey. I offer an integrative approach tailored to your individual needs.
I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can talk freely about what matters most to you. Together, we can explore the challenges you’re facing, uncover your inner resources, and support you in living a more authentic and fulfilling life.
