About Me

As a counsellor, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel genuinely heard and understood. I believe counselling is a partnership—one where we work collaboratively to explore what’s been going on for you and build practical, meaningful steps toward your goals.

I’m reflective and compassionate in my approach, and I value trust, connection, and emotional safety as the foundation for growth.

Conditions & Issues I Can Help With

I work with clients experiencing mental health and emotional challenges, including:

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Perfectionism

• Low self-esteem

• Anger management

• Stress and emotional overwhelm

I also support clients through life events and ongoing stressors, such as:

• Relationship and family conflict

• Work stress / burnout

• Major life transitions (e.g., change in role, moving, ending/starting relationships, identity shifts)

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward, we can explore what’s driving your concerns and what support would help most.

My Experience

I have experience supporting clients dealing with:

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Stress

• Low self-esteem

I have also worked with a range of groups, including individuals with developmental and learning disabilities or difficulties. Additionally, I have worked with families of children who have learning and behavioural needs.

My Approach

I use an integrative approach that draws from:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques

• Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Mindfulness-based strategies

This combination helps clients build coping skills, develop self-awareness, and respond to difficult thoughts and feelings in healthier ways.

Holistic Values

I’m interested in healthy living and take a holistic approach that supports the connection between your body and mind. I believe wellbeing improves when we attend to more than just thoughts—we also consider emotional needs, lifestyle, and self-care.

Outside of counselling, I have a background in dance, yoga, and art. I enjoy discovering music and spending time outdoors.
