Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, traumatized, disempowered, or just plain stuck?
My preferred focus is facilitating adult women in dealing with self-esteem, past trauma, depression, anxiety, life changes or similar. Motivation, building coping skills and self-worth are vital in tackling any transitional stages of life. I'm also a qualified Enneagram practitioner which creates wonderful awareness and clarity for many clients.

I work with all age groups and focus on trauma, loss, stress & anxiety and relationship issues.
All of us have at least one thing in our lives that we wish we could overcome or conquer.

I have a special interest in helping those who are experiencing trauma, grief and loss and those who are struggling with depression and anxiety.
I am a registered counsellor in Psychology. Prior to qualifying as a therapist, I started my career as a teacher. During these years as a teacher, I realised the great need that existed for a safe space for individuals to journey with someone who would help them with hurt, loss and trauma. It was then that I embraced the world of psychology. At that time and presently, I feel passionate about helping those who are hurting, broken-hearted, hopeless and overwhelmed and traumatised.
