I offer a safe, non judgemental space where you are able to deeply explore and process stressful life events and times of transition. A space where you are able to discover parts of yourself, seek meaning, recognise your personal power and honour your life story.

I have worked with people for 25 years. Depending on the person my approach would vary. For some more clearly defined problems a short-term practical approach is suitable. I support the client to deal with his or her difficult situation and to find solutions which will work best in that particular setting. For more complex issues which have persisted over a long time it is necessary to explore and address the underlying issues in order to achieve long-term improvement. Therapy should provide a safe and professional space from where to start a journey with the aim to find more balance and greater enjoyment and meaning in life again.

Wellness counselling is a primary health care service focussed on holistic wellness. This is shift away from the medical model towards a holistic and noetic approach where the interplay between mind, body and spirit is acknowledged. I believe that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is vital in the healing journey. Every person has the capacity to heal and to thrive. It all starts from within, reconnecting to ourselves using mind, heart and intuition. Through mindfulness and compassion we learn to respond rather than react, we become kind towards ourselves, we nourish ourselves and we allow a new way of knowing to arise.

Providing individual counselling for children of any age is my main focus. I also provide counselling for adults struggling with grief, trauma, non-clinical depression and anxiety, and daily life challenges. "Trauma is personal. It doesn’t disappear if it’s not validated. When ignored or invalidated, the silent screams continue internally, heard only by the one held captive. When someone enters the pain and hears the screams, healing can begin," - Danielle Bernick. Allow me to take your hand on this healing journey and help you regain your inner peace.

There are times in life when we feel stuck and there seems to be no way forward. You might struggle to concentrate, feel anxious and stressed all the time, lie awake at night, and get angry for no apparent reason. You might also experiences more severe symptoms like phobias, panic attacks, social anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance abuse, self harm, eating disorders etc. The reason might not be apparent, but sometimes it might relate back to unresolved traumatic experiences you've had growing up like bullying, sexual abuse or rape, family violence, sibling rivalry, parents divorce, death of a loved one.
