I work with clients facing anxiety, depression, grief and ADHD, I use a person-centered approach to establish trust and provide a safe, supportive space for self-exploration.
“This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.” Life, much like Rumi’s metaphor of a guest house, is filled with ever-changing emotions and experiences. Every day brings something new—a moment of joy, sorrow, or even a challenge we didn’t expect. My own healing journey has reflected these ups and downs. I know firsthand the value of leaning on others to help me through the weight of unbearable moments.

The emotions you're feeling—fear, anxiety, depression, hurt, grief, sadness—are not random; they are a natural response to your current circumstances. Acknowledging these feelings is crucial, and doing so in a safe space is the first step towards change. I offer such a space: secure, non-judgmental, and supportive.

I offer support and guidance when you face tough times and unexpected challenges; when you have to navigate life transitions and changes in direction; when you struggle with low self-esteem, loss of identity, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or any other issues that life presents.
During my 15 years as a medical doctor and 4 years as a counsellor I learned that challenges are part of the human experience and we all feel stuck at some point in our lives, but also that movement and growth are always possible. I strive to provide a safe and compassionate interpersonal space where you can remove obstacles and create the life that you want.

Are you looking for a counsellor who offers a holistic approach using both talk and body-based therapies? Perhaps you've done talk therapy and found that it only goes so far.

Perhaps you're looking for a queer-affirming and inclusive therapist to support you with issues related to your gender, sexuality and authentic expression.

Do you need a space to figure out how to escape people-pleasing and perfectionism? You may find yourself saying "yes" when you want to say "no," and constantly striving to keep everyone around you happy. This can lead to feelings of resentment, exhaustion, and a loss of your own identity as you struggle to maintain a mask that pleases others. Maybe you are pushing yourself to the point of exhaustion in pursuit of achievements, becoming burnt out in your efforts to be helpful and accommodating, or moulding yourself to meet the expectations of others, all while losing your connection to your true self and your own needs.

Therapy is one of the most powerful tools we have to navigate the challenges of life. Anxiety, depression, grief or just feeling generally stuck are all experiences that come with being human, and seeking support is an act of courage that can change your life for the better. Personal therapy can offer us connection, insight, and resources. My clients often find that after engaging in counselling for some time, not only are life's challenges easier to endure but its joys are equally richer.
