About me
Counselling is a confidential space where you can bring yourself and be seen and heard, just as you are. In sessions, you can begin to share your story and what brings you. You can expect to be met by a careful and sensitive listener. Depending on your needs, hopes and goals for sessions, we might agree a number of sessions or work ongoing. At times, we might work with your feelings and body sensations that arise. At other times, we might think practically about your situation. Or, we might notice what occurs between us, or what occurred in your past. These invitations to reflect and notice, may be guides to discover what is helpful for you.
I have experience working with a range of life challenges: addictions and compulsions, eating distress and body concerns; loss, sadness, anxiety and panic; burnout and breakdown; self-harm and suicidal thoughts; intersections of culture, race, disability, gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity; abuse, inter-generational and ancestral trauma.
