About me
I am a psychotherapeutic counsellor with expertise in anxiety, anxiety disorders, depression, addiction, and ADHD. I take an integrative approach to therapy, tailoring my methods to meet the unique needs of each individual.
My practice encompasses a broad range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress management, trauma, ADHD, addiction, and relationship challenges. Whether you are experiencing overwhelming emotions, navigating a distressing event, or feeling dissatisfied with life, therapy provides a space to explore and address these difficulties. In our sessions, we may discuss life events, emotions, relationships, thought patterns, and unhelpful behaviour’s. I offer a compassionate and nonjudgmental space where I will listen, empathise, and support you in gaining clarity and exploring new perspectives. Together, we will work towards identifying meaningful changes and fostering personal growth.
Clients often share how comfortable they feel during sessions and express regret that they didn’t begin their journey sooner. My goal is to ensure that your therapeutic experience is both enriching and calming.
I strongly believe that the therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of effective therapy. It provides a safe and supportive foundation for self-discovery, healing, and transformation—empowering you to live in alignment with your values and aspirations.
I offer counselling services for adults, older adolescents, and organisation's. Sessions can be conducted in-person, online, or via telephone, depending on your preferences.
Additionally, I support local businesses through counselling services, mental well-being initiatives, and stress management workshops.
