About me
I believe that healing is possible for everyone. My practice is built on a trauma-informed and person-centered foundation of compassion and the understanding that while life can be incredibly difficult, you already carry the seeds of your own resilience. Sometimes, those seeds just need a little help to be found again.
I work from a neuro-affirmative and culturally sensitive perspective, honoring the diverse backgrounds and unique identities of the people I support. I support individuals navigating significant life transitions and high-pressure environments - including students facing the unique demands of higher education, as well as those managing the complexities of professional and personal change.
Whilst I support a range of clients with diverse needs, I have a particular interest in the mental health of boys and young men, recognising the unique societal and internal pressures this population often faces. From navigating traditional expectations of masculinity to managing the stigma around vulnerability, I provide a space where males can explore their challenges without judgment.
