Welcome. People come to therapy for a number of reasons and most want relief from suffering, emotional symptoms, inability to thrive or feel satisfied, overwhelm or stuckness. With my 20+ years of experience as a registered psychotherapist I offer evidence based tools (backed up by my interest in current neuroscience and wellness science), to help reduce your current discomfort. Alongside this we start to look at how life long patterns/ideas of self are limiting your ability to thrive and feel truly authentic/seen and we carefully rewrite some of these narratives to help you live a more equipped, authentic, satisfied life.

Life sometimes invites you to pause and take stock. This may be in response to a big shock – the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a job or an event that shakes you to your core. Or perhaps it's a subtle, gnawing sense that there’s more to life than what you're currently experiencing. These big shocks or subtle gnawings can start to erode your sense of happiness and fulfilment. You may be experiencing depression, sadness, isolation, confusion or deep overwhelm. I help people reconnect with their strengths, passions and purpose, so they can rediscover meaning, joy and peace in their lives.

I see individuals for a wide number of needs. I generally see clients above the age of 18. People come to counselling because they want changes in their lives and are unsure how to make those changes. Often they are stuck in stories or habits of the past , or traumas have locked them into unhelpful ways of being. People use therapy to achieve those goals and then move on.
