Feeling uncertain or apprehensive about seeing a professional? That is completely normal. Please know that you have nothing to fear, as I will ensure you feel as comfortable as possible and that this experience is a stress-free one (life is stressful enough!). Seeking support from others is a normal part of our human existence. Allow me to support you as you face the overwhelming storms of life. You will look back after a few sessions and not understand why you were so worried about starting counselling.

I am a dynamic professional with four psychology degrees, as well as extensive experience and training working with adults, teenagers and couples with various struggles. Whatever is challenging you at the moment, I will be able to assist you. I specialize in many areas within the field of psychology and wellness, incorporating various treatment methods.

Together in the safety of our session space, we will focus on your unique needs and tailor a treatment plan specific to you. Make your mind, and your life, a place of peacefulness. Book counselling sessions with me today.
