Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in painful patterns? Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or the impact of a distressing life event? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to face this on your own. Therapy offers a safe and supportive space to heal, grow, and reconnect with your true self. I work with adults facing stress, burnout, relationship challenges, grief, and the lasting effects of trauma. Many clients come to me feeling lost, isolated, or emotionally drained. Together, we explore what your mind and body are telling you—helping you understand these signals and respond with compassion and strength.

My ideal clients come to therapy feeling lost, overwhelmed, burnt out, and unsure of who they really are. They’ve spent years adapting to meet everyone else’s needs, often neglecting their own, and find themselves repeating painful patterns that create chaos and anxiety. They want to understand why this keeps happening. More than anything, they long to feel heard, seen, grounded, and calmer within themselves, and to build a stronger, more secure sense of identity.

You might be neurodivergent or exploring how past experiences still affect how you show up in the world. You´re looking for a Therapist because, in part, you want to understand yourself and know how to change. You want to understand what's holding you back and feel empowered to live a fulfilling life.

As an integrative therapist, I holistically blend a number of modalities tailored to each client, with experience in somatic work, sexual therapy, IFS, ACT, and mindfulness-based therapy.
Contact Via WhatsApp/Email. My focuses are relationships, eating disorders, & addiction. In both our relationships with self and others, most long to experience love, belonging & growth. In relationships and in hardships, I see infinite potential for transformation and evolution: through the stuck places, the old patterns, the failed attempts to connect or feel safe. Underneath, the true you is waiting to be heard through the surface ‘symptoms’. If you can recognise where you’re at, you’re halfway there — and rather than just treating the symptoms, together we listen to what’s underneath, and help you to get free from the root.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Counsellors
What is Internal Family Systems therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on sub-personalities, or “families,” within a person, which may be made up of wounded parts and unpleasant emotions like anger and shame. These sub-personalities can come into conflict with each other and with an individual’s core Self, leaving the person feeling detached from positive traits such as the “8 C’s” of confidence, calmness, creativity, clarity, curiosity, courage, compassion, and connectedness. By healing a patient’s wounded parts, a therapist aims to restore balance and bring on positive change.

How does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
An IFS therapist will work with a patient to identify their particular sub-personalities, recognize the emotions powering them, and release them. By doing so, the patient should become more able to address any underlying problems their sub-personalities may have been trying to protect them from. Ultimately, a patient discovers ways to manage internal and external conflicts on their own, through techniques such as relaxation exercises, journaling, and making charts depicting the relationships between their core Self and their distinct parts.

Does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
IFS therapy has been shown to help people address conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic, fears and phobias, trauma, and substance use disorders. Some research has also found that it can help individuals deal with symptoms of physical health conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, such as pain, everyday functioning, depressive feelings, and low self-compassion. There are some conditions for which IFS treatment, specifically discussions of one’s “parts,” may be less appropriate, such as schizophrenia or other states that involve psychosis or paranoia.

How long does Internal Family Systems therapy take?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for IFS therapy. After becoming comfortable with a therapist and the core concepts of IFS, some patients quickly make progress. While experiences vary, most will find that it is a relatively longer-term therapy, involving months and sometimes years of sessions.
