Hello and welcome! I'm a Pluralistic/Integrative counsellor passionate about supporting people in coping with life stressors and improving their wellbeing. Do you feel sad, lost, overwhelmed? Do you struggle with anxiety and feel like your wants/needs aren't being met? Do you want to improve your self-esteem and relationships and enjoy life more? In my practice, I strive to create a space where insight is cultivated and offer tools and methods to make sense of things. One thing I often hear from my clients is their regret for not starting counselling sooner. For more about how I work, please visit my website.
Anxiety, low mood and low self-esteem can accumulate from daily stress or might stem from past trauma and our upbringing. They might be work-related or arise from relational issues. It helps immensely to have a safe space where our concerns are warmly heard without judgment. I offer tools to process the triggers, patterns and beliefs that often hold us back.
We are all human, experiencing challenges in life. You don't have to go through them alone! Everyone can benefit from counselling, psychotherapy, therapy. I'm using these terms as one, to mean one thing: the deep work to the rewarding self-awareness and growth. Being here is the first step in improving your wellbeing and your life. It's time to get in touch!
