I am passionate about helping people through their change and growth process. With over 10 years experience as a counsellor, I am able to offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space for you to explore any challenges you face. I provide both short and long-term therapy with an approach that is warm and respectful; that gives you the space to explore thoughts and feelings to gain greater clarity and insight; that works alongside you to find new ways of coping; and supports you to identify goals, strengths and values. Together we can work to find solutions so you can live a rich and meaningful life.

Are you struggling to talk about what's going on for you to people in your life? Perhaps you don't feel comfortable sharing certain aspects of yourself with them or maybe there isn't anyone there you can actually trust/ talk to. Therapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space to curiously explore/learn more about yourself and whatever is troubling you, so that you can make the changes necessary to live a more fulfilling life.

I see therapy as a safe space where you can work through whatever is causing you stress or distress in your life. Therapy can allow you to explore your thoughts, emotions and behaviours, learn different ways of coping, process grief and traumatic experiences, improve relationship dynamics, and learn to manage psychological and physical symptoms. I work in a down-to-earth, friendly, and professional manner. I try to help my clients feel as comfortable as possible discussing their difficulties with me, and draw on my full range of training and professional

When we trust ourselves, we trust Life. We know we are meant to be loving, caring, and compassionate beings, who courageously trust in the love and abundance of the Universe. However, Life happens, and there are times when we forget this and feel lost! Then it can be too hard to name confusion, pain, grief, and loss. Luckily, music can speak for us! Stress, anxiety, and the pressures and challenges of relationships, family, work, and daily life can feel overwhelming. So we reach out for help to find our way back to ourselves. We want clarity about our issues and a safe place to explore them. We want help!

My approach combines professionalism, honesty, warmth and humour, without judgement. I take a holistic approach to mental health and wellbeing, exploring lifestyle and health, as well as emotional factors. During the first session, I will spend time getting to know you and what has brought you to counselling. We will then identify what the goals of therapy will be, and together, build a strong relationship in order to help you achieve these. I will take into consideration who you are as a person, what your needs are and tailor an individual approach.

I seek to meet my clients where they are, sensitively feeling into what it might be like to be you, with respect, openness and warmth. I have a particular interest in guiding individuals through the intimate process of working through emotional pain and early relational trauma. I tend to focus on what is happening in the client/therapist relationship. How do you feel about the way we are working together? What does the connection between us feel like today? Examining relational patterns in this immediate way can help us discover what it means to engage non-defensively and authentically with ourselves and with life.
