Are you feeling stuck in familiar emotional patterns or struggling to connect with others? Do past experiences shape how you handle stress, express emotions, or navigate change? Are you looking to strengthen relationships and feel more at ease in yourself?
I help individuals and families understand how past experiences influence present challenges—whether you’re adjusting to change, feeling caught in old patterns, or seeking deeper connections. Through insight and reflection, we’ll work together to create meaningful shifts for your emotional well-being.
Drawing from a strong background in developmental psychology, attachment theory and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), I approach counselling with curiosity for what makes us think, feel and behave the way we do. This type of enquiry leads to increased awareness and self-knowledge, which ultimately develops resilience and encourages emotional wellness.
Creating a validating and supportive environment is at the heart of my counselling approach. I strive to offer professional yet personable support, ensuring you feel deeply understood and respected throughout our collaboration. My goal is to help you feel comfortable to explore challenges and supported in taking the necessary steps toward meaningful change.
