About me
If you’re experiencing anxiety, burnout, low self esteem, or feeling stuck, together we can create a space to reflect and find more clarity.
At the heart of my work is a deep respect for each person’s unique way of experiencing the world. I provide accessible, affirming, and welcoming space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and relationships or whatever is weighing on you.
My approach is inclusive and integrative, which means I use different approaches of talking therapies, practical tools and techniques and sharing my knowledge with you so that you can identify patterns that may be affecting your wellbeing and to help you to find strategies to manage your emotions.
I bring experience in working with variety of challenges including neurodiversity, anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment, and relational problems.
How I Can Support You
- Learn how to self-regulate and manage anxiety, depression, burnout, overwhelm and stress.
- Gain insight into your attachment and relationship patterns and how they impact your wellbeing.
- Get a better understanding on how to manage family and relational challenges, including communication and boundaries.
- Heal from past experiences and take back control of your life.
- Rebuild your self-worth and confidence in who you are.
- A deeper understanding of yourself and what you truly need.
- An inclusive, affirming space where you can be fully yourself.
As an accredited counsellor and psychotherapist, I work with adults (18+) of all genders and sexualities.
