I provide therapy for for adults, children (10+) and families, with a focus on trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship issues. I provide a nurturing, insightful and respectful space to explore your concerns and forge a path forward. My clients seek greater self-awareness and self-knowledge, often working on overcoming past trauma and attachment issues. I am especially passionate about practicing EMDR, but also offer CBT, ACT and strengths-based tools in my approach.

If you are an adult, wanting meaningful help to alleviate suffering, be it from longstanding depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, relationship problems or work issues, please feel free to reach out. Perhaps you have tried therapy in the past, and found that, while helpful at the time, it didn't facilitate long term change or get to the heart of the matter.

Whether you've seen many therapists in your time or this is your first venture into the world of therapy and counselling, it would be my pleasure to support you. Finding a psychologist can be a daunting process, therefore when we meet, I'll provide a calm, relaxed and welcoming environment, and will take the process at your pace. I see adults and young children, and my previous experience as a dancer and teacher brings forth a warm and educational experience to the therapy room.

I work with clients across the life span and from all walks of life. People come to me because they feel stuck, depressed, alienated, conflicted, lost, unfulfilled or curious. They yearn for a confidential, compassionate and inspiring therapeutic space where they can feel safe enough to encounter different aspects of themselves and their life circumstances with more depth, honesty, dignity and clarity. They hope to cultivate their self-understanding and to nurture their heart in order to find more ease and a deeper sense of belonging with themselves, their loved ones and the wider world; so as to live a life of joy and connection.

My approach to therapy is to use an integrated model because every person I work with is a unique individual with their own set of circumstances. I'm open minded, non judgemental and interested in helping clients to explore the contents of their hearts and minds to better understand their internal struggles, interpersonal relationships and how they exist in the world.
