Life as a woman can be difficult, especially without adequate support. As a practitioner, my goal is to provide a safe, secure, and accessible environment to help you through your difficulties. If you find yourself struggling with self-care, relationship issues, past or current trauma, depression, anxiety, or body image issues (amongst others) and you would like to overcome these issues, then look no further. I believe that therapy is a means of empowerment and control, where together we will work through these problems, in order to make way for a healthier, happier, you.
We all know that feeling when you're so caught up in everyone else's life that you forget about your own. I specialise in women's health and well-being through online therapy, as my ultimate aim is to provide a space for all women to access affordable therapy whenever it suits them best.
If you're struggling with your health, relationships, overall well-being, or you simply need someone to talk to, feel free to reach out. I am available during the in between hours - that time during your day when you finally have a breather - so reach out and let's talk.

I mainly work with women who have experienced abuse, trauma, or difficult life experiences which may or may not lead to depression, anxiety, eating disorders, or self harm. During these sessions, we begin by doing a general introduction. Thereafter we tackle the main problem(s), and after that we brainstorm ideas for a treatment plan.

I often prefer a holistic and integrative approach to therapy, as I believe that disruption is a result of imbalances in both mind and body. In the first session, I get to know you, and we will explore how you feel currently, where you'd like to be, and what your past was like. Thereafter, I may ask other questions regarding your lifestyle to understand you better and what treatment may work best.
