I work with a large variety of clients from 16 years to retired persons, couple sessions as well as one-on-one sessions. Most of my clients are dealing with some of the following: trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, relationship problems, lack of direction, eating disorders, performance problems, emotional turmoil, low self-esteem or are just generally demotivated and tired! Some just need to talk through their grief or anger. They all come with the need to heal, manage the world and find the joy in their lives again.

Life can bring us to unexpected thresholds. Loss, trauma, motherhood, burnout, relationship difficulties and other major life transitions can leave us feeling lost, overwhelmed or disconnected from ourselves. I offer a supportive and non-judgemental space where you can feel, release, explore, integrate, heal and dream. Together we create space to heal old wounds, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and discover new possibilities for the future. I meet clients where they are, help them release the burdens they carry from the past, and support them to discover who they are becoming.

Together, we work on reflection, open conversation, and new perspectives all of which lie at the heart of the healing process. Counselling is for anyone who wants a little extra support or just a space for self exploration.

My work focusses on clients who are struggling with the effects of childhood abuse and trauma as well as the emotional effects related to narcissistic abuse, past or present. I provide a space for clients to feel safe and to allow them to loosen their defences they needed to protect themselves and to understand their inner world and change old repetitive and obstructive patterns of being and relating. My focus is in working with young and older adults. I also include expressive therapy approaches, where needed, as a means to access emotions and experiences that are difficult to verbalise.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with experience in both private and public sector. I have a special interest working with people who struggle with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, PTSD or phase-of-life-challenges. To me, therapy is a collaborative partnership in which both therapist and client join hands in developing the changes the client seeks. My approach is informed by Narrative therapy, but I also works in more structured body-based modalities such as Somatic Experiencing, TRE (Trauma release exercise), EMI (Eye movement integration) and Resource therapy for clients who live with the effects of trauma.

We navigate your anxiety, stress, trauma, life transitions (including the postpartum and peri-menopause period).
You're good at holding it all together, showing up, and keeping going. But privately, you're exhausted, quietly falling apart in ways you haven't told anyone. Maybe you've been through a life change, a loss, the transition into motherhood, or a chapter that took more out of you than expected. You feel overwhelmed, disconnected, like you don't recognise yourself anymore. You're tired of pretending you're fine. You might have thoughts that you're afraid make you a bad person. Knowing something and actually shifting it are two different things.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Counsellors
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.

When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.

How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioural therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviours. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
