Life can feel overwhelming at times - whether you’re dealing with anxiety, loss, relationship struggles, or simply feeling stuck. As an integrative counsellor with over six years of experience, I offer a calm, supportive space where you can begin to make sense of your experiences at your own pace. I’ve worked with people from many walks of life, and I aim to build a genuine, trusting therapeutic relationship that helps you feel heard, understood, and supported.

My style as a therapist is gentle, supportive, and grounded, while also making space for thoughtful challenge and encouragement where it feels helpful. I aim to strike a balance between offering warmth and understanding, and helping you reflect more deeply on patterns, behaviours, or beliefs that may be keeping you stuck. In sessions, you can expect a calm, non-judgmental space where you’re able to speak openly and at your own pace. I work collaboratively, meaning we explore things together rather than me directing or leading the process. At times, I may gently challenge you or offer observations to support greater insight, but always in a way that feels respectful and attuned to where you are. Building a safe and trusting relationship is at the heart of my work. I do this by being consistent, transparent, and genuinely present with each client. I place a strong emphasis on listening carefully and creating an environment where you feel heard, understood, and accepted. When working online, I’m mindful that connection can feel different, so I make an intentional effort to create the same sense of safety and attunement as in face-to-face work. Whether through video, phone, or text-based sessions, I focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship by being engaged, responsive, and adaptable to your needs and preferences.

My journey into counselling is rooted in both personal experience and a deep awareness of how often mental health can be overlooked or stigmatised. Growing up, I saw how difficult it could be for people to speak openly about their struggles, and how easily emotional pain could be dismissed or minimised. This stayed with me. As a teenager, I experienced complex grief and multiple losses within a short space of time. Navigating that period shaped not only my understanding of emotional pain, but also the importance of having a space where those experiences can be acknowledged, felt, and understood. It’s from this place that my passion for counselling developed — a desire to offer others what can so often be missing: a safe, non-judgmental space to be heard. At the core of my work is the belief that “you have to feel it to heal it.” I believe that meaningful change happens when we are able to gently turn towards our experiences, rather than avoid them. Therapy isn’t about fixing or rushing the process, but about creating the conditions where insight, self-awareness, and emotional processing can unfold at a pace that feels right for each individual. What I find most rewarding about this work is witnessing those moments of shift - when a client begins to understand themselves in a new way, feels less alone in their experience, or starts to approach life with greater clarity and self-compassion. Being trusted with someone’s story is something I hold with great care and respect. This combination of personal insight and professional experience continues to shape how I work: with empathy, openness, and a commitment to creating a space where people feel safe enough to explore even the most difficult parts of their lives.
