Going to therapy takes guts. Often, it takes a person, or a couple, years to move from contemplating therapy to booking a first appointment. It’s not an easy process. But, what you get out of therapy is directly related to what you put into it. And I will match your dedication with mine. The process of healing and recovery is also one of becoming and realising. Therapy is self-development at its most satisfying. Yes, it takes courage, effort, and, often, a leap of faith. But, if you are ready to give yourself the gift of therapy, I am here to take that leap with you.

As a parent of two teenagers and a young, neurodiverse adult, I know how challenging it can be for families at times. Many families are complex and time-poor, and we all need support in a non-judgmental way. While I have my own lived experience of family life, I know that each family system has its distinct strengths and challenges, and comes with its own unique story. It is my sincere desire and responsibility to listen with an open heart and mind and to truly understand the needs of each individual I meet. Therapy needs to be tailored for each person, given the complex systems they operate within.

Brave souls, we live our lives to the best of our abilities; we aim to achieve our dreams with what life has to offer us. However, due to various reasons, and often beyond our control, we might hide from ourselves ... in ourselves, or in other people. Depression, anxiety, personality disorders, dissociative features, psychotic experiences ... We fall, we rise. We laugh, we love, we feel anger and pain. In a conversation with another we could find our way out of this state of being lost in these states. Recovery from trauma perhaps is not about forgetting the past; perhaps it's about expanding your Self, your narrative.
