Sometimes in life, we may face challenges that make it difficult to function on a day to day. These challenges can be physical, emotional, relational, or psychological. During this time, we may need professional assistance to support us during our healing journey and help us build skills and coping mechanisms. My psychotherapy approach is holistic, and I work collaboratively with the client to help them overcome challenges they may face and build skills to aid them in future. I primarily work from the psychodynamic modality; however, I may utilise knowledge, techniques as well as skills from other modalities where indicated.

My ideal client feels stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed—longing for clarity, healing, and purpose. They may be navigating life transitions, burnout, or emotional patterns that repeat. They crave depth, authenticity, and support that honors both their psychological and spiritual needs. Ready for real change, they seek tools, not just talk, someone to guide them back to their true self with insight, compassion, and practical steps for transformation. Their goals include emotional healing, healthy relationships, spiritual connection, and aligned decision-making. Ultimately, they want to come home to themselves.

My ideal client would be someone who is looking to discover their true self and potential. At some point in your life, you've perhaps felt invalidated, judged, or misunderstood by others (or even yourself). Perhaps you're neurodiverse and are looking for guidance, understanding, compassion, and support. You want to become comfortable with and accepting of who you truly are. You're willing to put in the work both inside and outside of the therapy room to achieve your goals.

My ideal client is a woman who carries a quiet heaviness, feeling overwhelmed, unseen or unsure of where to turn. She may be going through significant life shifts, struggling to maintain boundaries, or feeling disconnected from the person she used to be. She longs for a space where she can exhale, be heard without judgment and gently find her way back to herself. Her goal is to feel grounded, safe and empowered to create a life that reflects her truth.

I help people who are stuck, in their heads or in undigested emotions, or in difficult life circumstances, relationships and families. I teach that the only person you can change is yourself, but when you do, the ripple effect is massive. Be the change you want to see, never mind what trauma has led to your anxiety, depression etc. We're all addicts: we all have devoted habits or coping mechanisms. After a while these harm us. Find another way. I use a Transpersonal approach because it's v effective. This means I remind you you are connected to something greater than yourself, however you define that - and how to employ that daily.

I am a Specialist Wellness Counsellor that journeys with individuals, couples and families though depression; anxiety; loss and grief; addiction; adjustment struggles; conflict; disease management; trauma; abuse; victim empowerment and many others
Life is tough, sometimes very tough. Us, as human beings often forget to take care of the most basic of our needs in favor of immediate responsibilities and often put off the things that fuel us - when our fuel runs out, we are left with the wreckage and very little motivation to pick up those pieces. The healing journey offers a space to recuperate and learn to know and love ourselves again and to remember that sometimes its okay to not be okay. I journey with those who come see me, and noting is more beautiful and rewarding for to see someone transform their lives into something they have always wanted.

Cedar Psychology was established to cater to different mental health needs within a safe, non-judgmental and containing environment. We all have our ups and downs, where support from family and friends can be enough to help us manage our stress. Sometimes we may feel that we need more. Some may enter therapy because they have felt sad, worried, confused, angry, or numb for a long time, or would like help processing their past. Others may enter therapy because of sudden life changes such as the loss of a loved one, work/school stressors or relationship difficulties. Whatever your reason may be, support is available.

My ideal client feels overwhelmed, stuck, or quietly worn down from carrying too much for too long. They may look “fine” on the outside while struggling inside with trauma, grief, anxiety, or life changes. They don’t need to be in crisis — they just know something needs to shift. They’re longing for clarity, steadiness, and support that feels safe. They want practical tools, compassionate guidance, and space to heal at their own pace — without pressure, judgment, or having to explain everything perfectly. They’re ready to grow, gently, and to rebuild confidence, resilience, and a deeper sense of self-trust.

Therapy has become very clinical in the pathological world we live in. I focus on ways to make ethical, values-based choices that help you build a life of purp & meaning. I use an Existentialist approach (Humanistic) and my methods generally follow Acceptance & Commitment Therapy guidelines. I have a unique perspective on many issues resulting from my experience in life with personal challenges: raised in poverty, suffering male-anorexia, failed early-life relationships and 20 yrs. as an entrepreneur. This lived experience helps me be an effective counsellor, mental health speaker and provide ethical services as a life-coach.
