I am a psychologist, consciousness coach and writer. My unique approach is working with psychology as a component of consciousness - not the other way around. I trained at New York University & the NY Psychoanalytic Institute. I draw from psychoanalysis, somatic & inner child work. I have a deep reverence and respect for each person’s unique chosen path. My therapeutic approach is respectful, gentle and eclectic. I teach Kundalini, Yin yoga & meditation in my spare time. I work online.

Safety is not the absence of threat... it is the presence of connection - Gabor Maté. I firmly believe that therapeutic relationships where there is authentic connection between therapist and client create healing contexts where burdens can be lightened and lifted. Therapy is a collaborative process that is tailored to each person's individual needs.

For me, therapy is not only one thing but many different things. I believe that therapy is a sacred space. A space that holds both pain and growth. A learning space, a teaching space. A space where we get to better understand ourselves and a space of freedom. Freedom to experience, express and explore the most vulnerable parts of ourselves free of judgement and instruction. A space that, at times can be challenging but brings with it an opportunity for change. In a world filled with expectations and demands, this is a space of acceptance, where being yourself, just as you are, is good enough.

Occupational Therapist
I work as an occupational therapist, with a special focus on mental health and vocational rehabilitation. I like Arthur Ashe's quote: "Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can." This is the heart of what we do: we walk alongside people of all ages, helping them to re-engage with the roles and activities that bring meaning to their lives. It’s an incredible privilege to witness someone reclaim their confidence—especially when they return to work and start doing things they once thought were out of reach. In many ways, I see my role as a professional cheerleader—backed by science, strategy, and heart.

It takes some courage to take the decision to come to psychotherapy. You may have experienced a sudden painful disruption in your life which has thrown into question your beliefs about your relationships, yourself and the world, creating a loss of safety. Or perhaps the difficult feelings have been building over time, but you can no longer push them out of mind and tell yourself to bear it and carry on. It can feel both hopeful and frightening to come to therapy. The thought of talking about very personal things to a stranger is understandably anxiety provoking and the need for emotional safety to do so, is essential.

We are taught to be tough early on —but that protection can become a cage. Healing from betrayal, family dysfunction, and emotional enmeshment takes immense courage. I work with parent-child struggles, inner child wounds, and unsupportive relationships daily. Counselling can provide a space for reflection and release. I’ve been on my own journey of healing and understand the courage it takes to seek support. Let’s take the first step towards resilience. We are becoming increasingly anxious and overwhelmed. If we don’t understand or heal our own wounds, we may pass them on. Counselling helps you reflect, reconnect and repair.

Sometimes the demands of life can become overwhelming, and we could do with kind heart to journey alongside us as we explore a life of more meaning, purpose and joy. Whilst life is challenging, and hurtful things happen, often not of our choosing, resulting in trauma, grief and distress, I believe that through this we can grow and heal. At times, we need someone to really listen to our story and other times; we need to be guided to acquire skills to help us navigate distress, difficult relationships and overwhelming emotions.

Female Counsellors

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
