I work with individuals and couples from all walks of life who are navigating stressful times and difficulties—from everyday challenges, life transitions and traumatic events. You might be trying to navigate relationship issues, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, burnout, family difficulties, or a complicated relationship with food. I also support people through specific, challenging periods of life, whether that is the pressures of motherhood, finding balance as a carer, adjusting to the unique changes of aging, or finding a way through grief and loss. No matter what you are carrying, I can support you to find your way forward
My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and non-judegmental. With 10 years working with people as a Counsellor and Social Worker, I know life is messy. I work integratively from a person-centred foundation to fit your needs. My understanding also comes from my own therapy journey—I know what it’s like to sit in your chair, and I’ll meet you exactly where you ar
Reaching out can feel daunting, I offer a free 15-minute chat to see if we’re a good fit. I walk alongside you to help you discover your resilience and way forward. I offer online sessions, including late-night appointments, and rest home visits for older adults (visiting rates vary by request). Flick me an email to arrange a time to get started
