Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed? You have tried your hardest to cope but feel like it is all too much? Or maybe you just want someone to talk to before it gets to that point? Together we can find a way through, to arrive at a place of increased psychological health and well-being.

I am a warm, passionate, and trauma-informed Counsellor/Psychotherapist who offers a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space to explore behavious, thoughts, feelings to gain insight into how your past may have impacted the present. I work integratively, meaning that I draw on humanistic philosophies and practices, but also include some psychoeducation, CBT, parts work and mindfulness techniques. Whatever works best for you and your circumstances, together we can decide on a plan and periodically discuss progress, needs and goals as they develop. I work relationally, so building a strong, safe and supportive therapeutic relationship will be crucial, as evidence suggests it is the most important factor for positive change to occur. We can work both short-term and long-term, depending on your needs, either face to face or online.

I have a wealth of experience working with anxiety, depression, grief, stress management, neurodiversity, relationship issues, self-esteem, life transitions, and personal development. Academically, I have qualitatively researched the impact of Type 1 Diabetes on parents and am currently researching Rejection Sensitivity in adult females with ADHD. Whether you're facing specific issues or seeking personal growth, I am here to walk with you through your journey.

Remember, seeking support is a courageous step towards a healthier, more fulfilling life. Together, we can explore your challenges, build resilience, and create positive change. I look forward to supporting you on your path to personal growth and well-being.
