About me

Hi there! I’m a professional psychotherapist with a passion for supporting both adults and children/young people. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, whether you're dealing with stress, emotional ups and downs, challenging life events, mental health struggles, or just feeling a bit stuck. I’m here to help guide you through it.

In our sessions, you’ll find a warm, inclusive, and peaceful space where I’ll be fully present and committed to your journey. I believe in putting your needs at the heart of the process, and I’ll support you in leading our sessions in a way that feels right for you. Together, we’ll explore what’s most important to you, work towards better understanding yourself, find clarity, uncover solutions, and help you develop healthier ways of coping.

My approach is all about empathy, confidentiality, and respecting your individuality. I genuinely believe in the power of connection and understanding, and I’m here to help you navigate life’s challenges. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques, carefully blending them to match your unique needs every step of the way.

I’m proud to offer a neuro-affirmative and LGBTQIA+ friendly space where everyone is welcome. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, and I’d love to hear from you. If you have any questions or would like to know more about how I can support you, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to help!
