Life’s challenges can leave you feeling lost, disconnected, or overwhelmed.
You may find yourself weighed down by sadness, guilt, or shame - or feel numb, as if nothing reaches you anymore. It is common to withdraw, avoid certain people or places, or engage in behaviours to escape difficult emotions, only to feel worse. Trusting others, expressing yourself, or breaking free from repeating patterns can feel impossible. If any of this resonates, you are not alone, and therapy offers a safe space to explore, reflect, and adapt to create meaningful change in your life.
I’m a compassionate counsellor who supports teenagers, adults, and couples as they navigate life’s challenges and changes. If you are facing relationship struggles, grief, or past experiences that have shaped you, I provide a space where you can explore, grow, and create the life you want. My approach is centred on empowerment, helping you gain clarity, strengthening your inner resources, and enabling you to move forward with confidence.
I incorporate trusted approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Gottman Couples Therapy to create sessions that feel meaningful and truly supportive of your journey.
Some of the areas I work with include:
Anxiety and depression
Couples and relationship challenges
Domestic and family violence
Grief and loss
Suicidality
Trauma and PTSD
Understanding yourself more deeply is a journey, and it is okay if it takes time. Together, we will explore the patterns shaping your experiences, uncover what is beneath them, and move toward meaningful, lasting change - at a pace that feels right for you.
A Little About Me:
I believe connection is at the heart of healing.
I share my home with both dogs and cats, and they remind me daily of the importance of unconditional love and presence.
I have had the opportunity to live in New Zealand, the UK, and Australia, which has deepened my appreciation for different cultures and ways of life.
There is nothing quite like catching a sunrise to feel grounded and reconnected.
As an avid reader, I love exploring new ideas, stories, and perspectives.
Just as I value these meaningful experiences, I am here to support you in exploring what brings connection, growth, and fulfilment in your own life so that you can grow and thrive in your life pursuits.
