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.

Many of my clients come to counselling during times of significant change. They may be navigating relationship difficulties, divorce or separation, family conflict, grief and loss, stress and burnout, anxiety, depression, or a growing sense that life is no longer working in the way it once did. Some feel overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted, while others feel stuck or uncertain about the future. I provide a warm, supportive space where clients can explore their experiences, gain insight into themselves and their relationships, and find a way forward with greater clarity, resilience and self-understanding.

I offer a space where you can meet yourself with kindness and curiosity. Many of us carry experiences of shame, self-judgement, grief, or a general sense of dissatisfaction. At the same time, there is often a deep longing to live a fulfilling and authentic life, and to experience meaningful connection with others. In my practice, I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship challenges. Others come to counselling with a desire to better understand themselves and to grow into a fuller, more aligned version of who they are. Whatever brings you here, you are welcome.

So many are carrying the heavy weight of grief, heartache, loss of connection and so much more. We feel isolated, forgotten, alone in our struggles and often punish ourselves for feeling broken and lost. But the truth is you are stronger than you think, braver than you know, and most certainly not alone. I help people like yourself reconnect with themselves and others, learn new and healthy ways to cope, and find their own way towards healing and meaning.

I today’s fast-paced world, many of us feel overwhelmed, stressed, and constantly on the go. We’re pulled in countless directions, managing the pressures of work, family, and an ever-changing landscape. With the constant demands of work, relationships, and responsibilities, it’s easy to feel scattered, overwhelmed, and disconnected. In a world that often measures our worth by how much we achieve, presence allows us to open to new possibilities of being in our lives, not by tuning out, but by tuning in.

I see you as a spiritual being navigating a human experience that can be challenging. Like me, you are on a journey back to the magic of the present moment—where your heart leads the way, and you feel secure in your connection to yourself and your loved ones. The first step in this journey is exploring the emotional triggers that arise in your daily life. Working with me, is an invitation into presence, honesty and embodied listening. It isn't about fixing or improving who you are, it's about gently meeting what has been shaped by conditioning, fear and/or protection.

I work with couples who have been stuck for a while. The same arguments, the same distance, the same feeling of not quite reaching each other. After a time, it gets exhausting. Partners start protecting themselves, pulling back, saying less. It can start to feel like the person you chose is now someone you can't get through to.

Spirituality Counsellors
What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?
Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.

What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?
There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviours. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.

Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?
Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.

How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?
​​Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
