Counselling is an individual experience. I offer a calm, respectful space where you can feel heard, supported, and understood. My approach is reflective, creating time and space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your pace. I provide professional and compassionate counselling across a wide range of areas, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, burnout and stress, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and health-related issues. With over 20 years of experience in emergency services, I bring a strong understanding of people navigating pressure and stress in complex life situations.

I am passionate about helping people break through barriers that are commonly imposed by the dominant culture while finding ways to work more comfortably both inside and outside ‘the box’ to achieve goals. I've worked with clients in settings ranging from prison to university, and you can count on my acceptance ‘as you are’ without judgment while helping you recognize and recover your own strengths. I bring expertise to support you with a wide variety of concerns, and I have particularly enjoyed working with clients whose lived experience includes neurodiversity, gender diversity, and relationship diversity.

Having been trained as both a psychotherapist and a Yoga psychology teacher, I view life’s experiences as integral to our soul’s journey toward wholeness. By learning from our past and transcending suffering, we cultivate greater awareness, awaken our inner light, uncover our purpose, and recognize our innate qualities & gifts. My approach integrates the scientific foundations of Western psychology—including psychodynamic & transpersonal perspectives—with the wisdom of Eastern and Indigenous traditions, such as Yoga philosophy & mindfulness. If this perspective resonates with you, I would be honoured to support you on your journey.

The stories of our lives through the events and experiences, wanted and unwanted, that happen around us and to us, are the keys to our present-day ways of being. Our approaches, responses and understandings are based on these stories. These stories, and our formed views of those, are called narratives, and these narratives are both powerful and influential in wanted, and unwanted ways. I am interested in the stories of your life and your formed Attachment Styles which started at birth through to childhood and into adulthood, and what is happening in your life now, which at times is unwelcomed, unwanted and disruptive.

As Bessel van der Kolk notes, trauma is specifically an event that overwhelms the central nervous system, altering the way we process and recall memories. “Trauma is not the story of something that happened back then," he adds. "It's the current imprint of that pain, horror, and fear living inside people.” I am a well-established health professional who has dedicated my professional life working on releasing trauma in a natural, nurturing way, returning my clients to their natural state of wholeness. I call this "The Journey Home". I work from a neuroscience perspective. Harmonizing all aspects of our being Mind, Body and Soul
