I specialise in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and the lasting effects of trauma. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when life becomes heavy or uncertain, and how easy it is to lose sight of yourself in the process. In our work together, you will find a space that is safe, non-judgmental, and genuinely supportive—where your story can be heard at your pace.
I believe that even in life’s most difficult seasons, there is the potential for growth, healing, and renewed meaning. My work as a counsellor is rooted in compassion, respect, and a deep commitment to walking alongside you as you navigate it.

I offer in-person and online therapy during the week in a calm, safe and welcoming space for children, teens and young adults.
Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally exhausted, or unsure why life feels harder than it seems to for others. They may be navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, neurodivergence, emotional regulation difficulties, self-esteem challenges, relationship concerns, or major life transitions. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, providing a warm, supportive space to better understand themselves, make sense of their experiences, build practical coping strategies, and move forward with greater confidence, self-awareness, and resilience.

I am a Registered Counsellor, in private practice. I love to get alongside clients struggling with personal or relationship issues and who need a safe space in which to unpack and process the "hard stuff". In my own life I have dealt with infertility, adoption, divorce and bereavement, and the need to reinvent myself as a single mother. We often encounter seemingly insurmountable roadblocks in life, but with support in unpacking and reframing issues, a positive way ahead can usually be found. My Christian faith is important to me, but I am happy to work with clients of other faiths.

It's the relationship that heals. That's the basis of more or less all therapy, it's certainly the starting place. There are many different reasons you might choose to work with a therapist. You might be feeling stuck, lost, frustrated with yourself, or something unexpected may have thrown you, or maybe your partner is nagging you to get help. Whatever the reason, and whether you have been to a therapist before or not, picking a therapist and going through the first few sessions can be a daunting process. I can’t guarantee that I’m the right therapist for you, but I would be honoured to journey with you.

I see therapy as a genuine human encounter—one that goes beyond roles or techniques. I aim to be fully present in the room, bringing my whole self into the work, rather than performing as a distant expert.
In my view, the most meaningful therapeutic work happens when both of us are able to show up as real people. Within that kind of relationship, deeper understanding, emotional clarity, and lasting change can occur.
My work is insight-oriented, helping you to understand not only what you are feeling, but why—tracing patterns, meanings, and experiences across the life course.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
