Counselling & Psychotherapy
Life can be overwhelming at times, and I understand how difficult it can be to navigate those situations alone. Even with the strongest of support networks, there can be moments in our lives when we need to work through issues privately.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, or you’re feeling lost or stuck, therapy can give a safe and supportive environment in which to examine your inner world; your thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
My goal is to provide you with that space and time to help you gain clarity, enhance your self-understanding, and equip you with the tools you need to navigate life's challenges. If you're searching for a compassionate nonjudgmental setting in which to heal, grow, and recover your equilibrium, I'm here to help.
And please know… Therapy does not need to be reserved for crisis. The therapeutic environment and relationship can be hugely beneficial for general progress and self-development. I like to consider therapy as an investment in yourself. It is not too late, and it is never too early.
“Daring greatly means the courage to be vulnerable. It means to show up and be seen. To ask for what you need. To talk about how you’re feeling. To have the hard conversations.”

Integrative Therapy
As an integrative therapist, I draw upon a variety of therapeutic approaches to tailor each session to your unique needs and goals. This flexible, personalised method allows me to combine techniques from different schools of thought, such as psychodynamic therapy, person-centered therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), ensuring that we find the approach that works best for you. By integrating these diverse methods, I can address emotional, mental, and behavioral challenges from multiple angles, offering a holistic path to healing and personal growth. My focus is always on creating a therapeutic experience that is as unique as you are.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on exploring the unconscious mind and understanding how past experiences, particularly from childhood, shape current behaviors, emotions, and relationships. By bringing these unconscious influences to the surface, psychodynamic therapy helps you gain insight into patterns and conflicts that may be affecting your life today. It allows for a deeper understanding of the root causes of emotional distress, helping you to resolve inner conflicts and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.
Person-Centred Therapy
Person-centred therapy is grounded in the belief that you are the expert of your own life, and that with the right support, you can find your own path to healing and growth. This approach emphasizes creating a warm, non-judgmental, and empathetic environment where you feel safe to explore your thoughts and feelings. As a therapist, I provide active listening and unconditional positive regard, empowering you to make positive changes at your own pace, trusting in your capacity for self-awareness and self-direction.
CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, solution-focused approach that helps you identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. By examining how your thoughts influence your emotions and actions, CBT empowers you to develop healthier ways of thinking and behaving. This evidence-based approach is particularly effective in addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress. Together, we will work to reframe negative thinking, develop coping strategies, and build new habits that support your well-being.
