You woke up one day & didn’t recognise yourself. Maybe it was a career that disappeared, a new baby, children leaving home, a move to a new country or a changing body. Maybe you’ve spent so long being everything to everyone else that you’ve lost sight of you. I work with women standing at life’s crossroads. Women navigating transitions that question their sense of identity and purpose. Together we slow down the noise, untangle what you’re feeling, and begin the work of rediscovering who you are. Not who you were, not who someone needs you to be, but Who You Are and who You Want To Be. I can support you and be a safe place for you.

Beyond formal studies I have completed additional courses through SACAP, including Crisis and Trauma Interventions, Addiction Counselling, Management of PTSD, Fundamentals of Counselling, Counselling Children and Youth, Human Sexuality, Sexology, and Counselling Couples through Humanitas.
My ideal clients are individuals who feel overwhelmed by the pressures of everyday life. They may be experiencing ongoing stress, anxiety, burnout, relationship strain, or difficulty coping with major life transitions. Many are high-functioning people who appear to be managing on the outside, yet internally feel exhausted, stuck, or unsure how to regain balance. Some clients struggle with academic or workplace pressure, while others feel emotionally drained from caring for others, navigating family challenges, or managing chronic stress and chronic illness.

Counselling is a supportive process led by an empathetic counsellor who helps individuals and relationships engage in deep self-examination, awareness, and healing. I facilitate this journey by delving into the entrenched belief systems that influence behaviours and emotional responses in daily life, ultimately offering support throughout the transformation process. Clients are welcomed into a warm and safe environment where they can freely express themselves at their own pace, without the fear of being judged.

Everyone of us faces challenges in life, our struggles just looks different. I believe that no matter how small or big the challenge, you have to work through it. As someone who taught at a high-school for 4 years, I know the effect that low self-image, trauma, relationship troubles between parents etc can have on their kids and on the parents. I would love to create a safe space and offer support to clients with low self-image, trauma, relationship problems and people who experience challenges. If your goal is to become happier, healthier and to stress less, you should give online counselling a try.

Being a teenager or young adult can feel overwhelming.
Counselling is tailored to each person rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach. I combine meaningful conversation with practical strategies and activities to help clients understand their thoughts, emotions and patterns, develop useful coping skills, recognise their strengths and make positive, intentional changes in their lives.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
