About me
I’m an integrative counselling therapist with a person-centred foundation:
- I work from the belief that people have the internal resources and capacity to heal when given space to explore and challenge themselves without external expectations or judgment.
- I prioritise a respectful, collaborative relationship over techniques, but draw on other models when helpful or requested—for example, psychoeducation or emotional processing techniques.
- I don’t pathologize or diagnose. Instead, I focus on supporting clients in processing difficult emotions, rediscovering their resilience, and recognising and working with both their strengths and limitations.
I specialise in two main areas: trauma therapy and the mental health of artists and creative professionals.
For Artists and creative professionals:
Being an artist or creator comes with its own unique set of challenges.
Highly creative individuals may experience intense emotions, perfectionism, self-doubt, frequent burnout, anxiety, depression, strong inner criticism, and periods of feeling blocked or disconnected from their work. Many are also neurodivergent.
Creative careers are typically unpredictable, marked by fluctuating income, irregular working hours, and success that often depends on audience reception and shifting market trends. Many artists also juggle full-time work alongside their creative practice.
Rather than pathologizing these experiences, I encourage artists to work with their inner world rather than against it, allowing emotional insight to support both mental well-being and creative expression.
For trauma survivors:
Trauma is a response to overwhelming, frightening, or distressing experiences that feel beyond our control. It can result from a single event or develop gradually through repeated harm, whether in childhood or adulthood. Most of us have experienced trauma at some point in our lives and may be unaware that it is contributing to current mental health struggles.
The impact of trauma often manifests as anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, dissociation (e.g., spacing out), shame, low mood, difficulty trusting others, heightened emotional reactions, low self-esteem, low self-confidence, or a sense of being stuck.
It is not uncommon for survivors to minimise their trauma in an effort to reduce the impact. Social expectations to “let go” and “move on” can further discourage the process of working through painful memories and healing.
My approach focuses on supporting you in processing the difficult emotions linked to trauma. I offer a space where you can talk about your experiences without external judgment or pressure to “let go.” This process helps you make sense of what happened, understand how it affects your present, and gradually build a stronger sense of self-worth, resilience, and overall mental and emotional well-being.

Experience:
-
I’m originally from Hungary and have lived in both Australia and the UK over the past two decades. While completing my training, I worked in various support roles, including autism, ADHD and learning disability support, rehabilitation for individuals with acquired brain injuries, and as an activity coordinator in elder care. Since completing my degree, I now work as a counselling therapist and an academic mental health mentor.
- Besides my counselling training, having a forensic psychology degree helps me work with trauma in a more structured and informed way. It gives me a deeper understanding of how trauma affects behaviour and mental health, especially in complex or high-risk situations. It also helps me support clients who may be dealing with guilt, shame, or systemic harm.
-
Before beginning my training in mental health, I spent over 10 years working in the creative industries, including film post-production and broadcast media. I understand the realities of creative work—navigating performance pressure and the ongoing tension between self-expression and external expectations.
