Seeing people conquer anxiety truly warms my heart. If I could choose a superpower, it'd be to shake up their thinking in this very realm. Creating a haven where someone can kickstart their healing journey is what fuels my passion. More than anything, I strive to be the kind of counsellor I yearned for during my own healing expedition. Diving deep into the intricacies of the brain and neuroplasticity for years has given me a keen understanding of our wiring. This means, regardless of the challenge you're facing, I genuinely believe that you can walk away with a fresh perspective and newfound hope.

I know as a woman, a mother and caring professional, how hard it can be to prioritise oneself when so much of your time is devoted to caring for others. But when we do not hold space for our own healing and recovery, we run the risk of burning ourselves out and hanging onto resentment and anger. We may think we aren't good enough or that we are failing others because we are trying to do it all and to a high standard. Our mood suffers. Our relationships suffer. And most importantly, we suffer. I know that deep down you want to feel good and measure your success based on your own goals and values, not others.

Feeling better is great, but I love to empower people with skills, strategies, and mechanisms to DO better. Strategic Psychotherapy is about effecting measurable change and progress. Talking about things and debriefing is great and comforting, however progress is what really counts.
