Hello and welcome! I'm a Pluralistic/Integrative counsellor passionate about supporting people to cope with life stressors and improve their wellbeing. Do you feel sad, misunderstood, overwhelmed? Do you struggle with anxiety and feel like your wants and needs aren't being met? Do you want to improve your confidence and relationships to enjoy life more? In my practice, I strive to create a space where insight is cultivated and offer tools and methods to make sense of things. One thing I often hear from my clients is their regret for not starting counselling sooner. For more about how I work, please visit my website.
Anxiety, low mood and self-esteem can accumulate from daily stress or might stem from past trauma and our upbringing. They might be work-related or arise from family issues. It helps immensely to have a safe space where our concerns are warmly heard without judgment. I offer tools to make sense of triggers, patterns and beliefs that hold us back.
We are all human, experiencing challenges in life. In my opinion, no one is exempt from benefiting from counselling, psychotherapy, treatment, therapy. I'm using these terms interchangeably to mean one thing: the deep work to personal growth and wellbeing. By being here, you're taking the first step towards improving your wellbeing and life. Get in touch!
