My Counselling Approach: A Different Kind of Therapy

Worried that therapy might feel too clinical? You're in the right place. I do things differently- I bring my full, authentic self to every session, blending professional expertise with genuine care.

Therapy with me isn’t just about heaviness. Yes, we go deep, but we also make room for lightness, humour and those small moments of joy that can be just as transformative. I strongly believe in building resilience, not just treating symptoms. This means empowering you to move through life with greater self-awareness, confidence, and clarity- not colluding with suffering, but acknowledging and gently challenging it. We won’t just sit in the pain - we’ll explore it, understand it, and support you in finding grounding in how you relate to it. You don’t have to stay stuck. There’s always movement, even in the mess.

You’ll have a therapist who genuinely cares about your well-being and walks beside you as you grow, celebrate your wins, and reconnect with your strength.

Here’s how I can support you

My Values

  • Evidence-Based Support

    I value continuous learning and growth. My approach to our work is grounded in evidence-based mental health practices and strong ethical standards, which ensures you receive reliable care and support.

  • Safety

    Feeling safe - whether physically, emotionally, spiritually, or culturally- can be difficult after experiencing trauma. My goal is to create a space where you can start exploring and rebuilding trust at your own pace, knowing that you’re fully supported. I will meet you where you are, and we’ll explore in a way that respects your experiences.

  • Authentic Connection

    Many studies have proven that a genuine relationship with your therapist is key to your growth. My goal is for us to co-create a genuine relationship over time, in which you can feel comfortable enough to be yourself and explore your challenges.

  • Respect for Your Journey

    Your experiences, feelings, and decisions are important to me. I approach them with empathy, curiosity, and the freedom to explore and heal at your own pace.
