If you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, stress, or major life transitions such as migration or parenthood, I’m here to support you. You may be looking for a safe, culturally sensitive, and compassionate space to process your experiences and find effective ways to manage your emotions. Together, we’ll work toward healing, building resilience, and gaining clarity. My goal is to help you feel heard, validated, and empowered, so you can move forward with confidence and achieve the growth you’re seeking.
I use an integrative approach, combining CBT, ACT, and Psychodynamic Therapy, to meet your unique needs. I specialise in working with survivors of sexual abuse, domestic violence, and complex trauma. I also have experience supporting clients through life transitions and the migration settlement process, helping them manage anxiety, stress, and grief.
I understand that life's challenges can feel lonely and overwhelming. I’m here to support you! Using a personalized and compassionate approach, I’ll be by your side throughout your healing and resilience-building process. Try therapy with a free first online session!
