I appreciate that it takes great courage to ask for help. Acknowledging this, I can provide a safe and confidential space whereby collaboratively, through integrative and creative approaches, we can strive to resolve and change in thought processes, encourage self growth and establish long term solutions for re-occurring problems. Having previous experience working with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, anger, trauma, abuse, grief, loss and relationship issues, I believe that healing takes place in slow, small steps forward.

We are all capable of solving our own problems and finding our own peace of mind. Sometimes we need to understand why we are feeling, thinking or behaving in a certain way. Counselling is a treatment where each counselling session is a safe and regular space for a person to think and talk about themselves and the world they live in. Life can throw situations our way which may seem unmanageable. My aim as a counsellor is to support each person as they gain an insight and understanding into these difficulties, while also supporting them as they make any changes needed to make themselves feel better.

A problem shared is a problem halved, is the truest statement in life. Nothing is so big or so small that talking through it won't resolve. Life can brew up some turbulence as you travel through it and can somestimes catch you off guard. At times we need a non-judgemental listening ear to discover where we are in our lives and to negotiate a path towards healing and happiness. I am a counsellor and a psychotherapist practicing for over five years and have supported many people through life’s ups and downs. It would be an honour and a privilege to join you on your personal journey.

However, I am here to gently support you on your therapeutic path towards achieving your personal healing goals.

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
