Here to Support your Journey
Counselling is more than a profession to me; it is a deeply personal and lifelong commitment. With over 10 years of experience, I bring not only professional training but also lived insight from navigating anxiety, trauma, and the often intricate dynamics within family systems. These personal and professional experiences have enriched my understanding of the many layers of struggle, as well as reinforced my steadfast belief in the capacity for growth and healing.
I consider it a profound privilege to support individuals on their journey toward stability and self-awareness, helping them find steadier ground, gain clarity, and reconnect with their authentic selves. My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and genuine presence, fostering a safe space where transformation is possible.
A little about me
How I work
I provide a calm and grounded space where you don’t need to have the perfect words, a detailed plan, or complete clarity about what’s happening in your life. All that’s needed is a willingness to begin the journey towards healing and self-understanding.
My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and collaborative. I recognise that everyone’s experience is unique, and I will gently support you in exploring the deeper layers beneath what initially feels visible. Together, we move at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for you, allowing space to sit with difficult emotions and challenges without pressure or rush.
Throughout our work together, you won’t be told what to do or how to feel. Instead, I will partner with you to enhance your self-awareness and help you reconnect with your inner strengths and resources. By fostering this partnership, we can discover practical, meaningful ways forward that align with your values and needs.
