I believe in empowering clients to build healthier thoughts, emotions, and behaviours through practical, compassionate support. Using CBT and DBT techniques together with sand tray therapy, I help individuals develop coping skills and emotional balance. For children, I incorporate Play Therapy to foster self-expression and healing in a safe, creative environment. My Solution-Focused approach emphasises strengths and small, achievable steps toward meaningful change. Together, we’ll work toward growth, resilience, and lasting well-being.
Together, we’ll uncover patterns, set clear goals, and create lasting strategies to help you feel more confident, connected, and in control of your life. I love using sand tray therapy for all psychological problems, as it opens the way to self discovery and behaviour patterns which can bring in cognitive and healthy changes.
You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone — I’m here to walk beside you every step of the way. I invite you to reach out so we can begin your journey toward healing and growth together.

I work with clients who suffer from anxiety by creating a calm, confidential space where they feel heard and safe. Treatment plan: assess triggers and symptoms, set shared goals, teach breathing and grounding skills, explore unhelpful thoughts, build coping strategies, and review progress at client's pace.

I use Dialectical Behaviour Therapy often where I would balance validation and acceptance of your current experiences with practical strategies for change. I would use core DBT skills like mindfulness and emotional regulation to help you manage intense emotions and respond more effectively to difficult situations. We would focus on looking at unhelpful patterns, supporting you emotionally.
