Are you like many people, struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, feeling down and not sure how to turn things around? It’s very common to feel all of these things. Life can be incredibly difficult between work, relationships, all our responsibilities and finding and living a purposeful life that feels fulfilling. Can things change for you? Can you turn it around? Absolutely you can. While the way that I work with my families and my adult clients differs in ways, the core of it is the same, I remind you that you are loved, I teach you to love yourself, help you balance self-love and love for others in healthy and empowering ways.

Life can be difficult and it takes resilience to work through challenging experiences. Part of your resilience may include reaching out for support. Psychotherapy can help facilitate new perspectives about the challenges we face and our ability to navigate unsettling life events and emotional states. It can support our capacity to make sense of suffering with increased compassion and acceptance and, ultimately, live with more ease and joy.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you feel overwhelmed, lost and lonely by the thought that there is no light at the end of the tunnel? Now more than ever, women are feeling exhausted and stuck about overcoming a difficult relationship, healing from abuse, setting boundaries, life transitions or moving past a traumatic experience.

Hello! I specialise in supporting individuals who are dealing with past traumas or difficult life experiences that continue to affect their present. I understand how deeply these experiences can impact your emotional, physical, and spiritual health.

My aim is to empower you on your journey to becoming the person you want to be & to help you embrace your true self. If you're ready to prioritise your well-being, nurture self-compassion, and reclaim your voice, I'm here to walk alongside you.

With more than 10 years of experience in psychotherapy and counselling, I have been working with adults and young adults who are struggling with their feelings, relationships or even life. At times, we may get stuck, feel overwhelmed or even lost. In face of these challenges, it is not uncommon to run away from them, or fight so hard trying to get rid of them. More often than not, neither way leads to a peaceful mind. I am here to walk with you in these struggles, work with you to navigate in a direction which aligns more with your values and leads to a more peaceful, meaningful and satisfying life.

I believe that each person has the ability to improve their life; to become closer to who they want to be. No problem is too difficult to face with the right kind of support. Many people are suffering on their own or feeling stuck in patterns that keep them from having the life they want. Counselling can change this.
