I recognize that sometimes what we truly need is the space to express ourselves, our emotions and our fears, but this can be both scary and vulnerable. My aim is to create a safe and secure space where we can openly confront fears together and then learn new ways to overcome them. I have an extensive experience with anxiety and depression, bereavement and stress management and specialize with self-esteem work, life transitions and lack of motivation. I have worked in and am comfortable with both short and long-term counselling in both private work and within a group setting.

I have worked successfully with individuals and couples experiencing stress, grief, anxiety, or difficulty managing anger.
In life we sometimes face questions that seem difficult to answer. We might stay focused on thinking through issues that do not have easily found solutions. I help you find paths of healing that are within. I want to help you find the strengths that are there; just currently hidden from view. When we allow your feelings to matter in session solutions become apparent. In my practice no feeling is ever wrong.

My training and clinical background running inpatient and outpatient hospital and community-based anxiety programmes, cancer survivor, caregiver, and bereavement programmes inform the work I do with my clients.
I appreciate that asking for help and sharing lived experiences are whole-hearted actions. It is a privilege for me to provide individual therapy to adolescents and adults during times of great distress, change, and loss. Clients often describe a loss of meaning and purpose in their lives, overcome by confusing and messy emotions that sabotage their functioning. Some clients are acutely aware of their compromised quality of life whereas others would describe chronic life conditions. My areas of specialization include anxiety, psychological trauma, depression, grief and bereavement, terminal illness, and chronic illness.
