I am a trauma-informed Specialist Wellness Counsellor helping adults and couples rewrite their relational stories, reclaim inner-child healing and cultivate purpose. Do you find yourself constantly reacting to old wounds, caught in familiar patterns with yourself and others, and longing for something more meaningful? Maybe relational conflict keeps resurfacing, or you sense a deeper inner-child pain beneath your everyday struggles. If you’ve reached a point where you’re ready for real healing and transformation, I am here to walk this path by yourself.
I specialise in: 1. Adults navigating trauma, inner-child wounding or relational patterns. 2. Couples who find themselves stuck in cycles of conflict, disconnection or unspoken tension. 3. Integration counselling for alternative plant based therapies.
I believe the most meaningful change happens when healing is grounded in compassion, rooted in connection, and aligned with your deeper values. In our work together you can expect honesty, warmth and a respectful journey into the parts of you that have longed for voice, integrationI and freedom. I invite you to schedule a 15-minute free consultation.
