About me

Seeking help can be hard. Perhaps you know exactly what you need support with - a past experience or relationship, a difficult emotion you can't shake. Perhaps you don't. Maybe your usual habits and ways of coping have stopped working. Maybe you know something needs to change, but you aren't sure what.

As a Psychodynamic Counsellor, I can help you gain a better understanding of your inner world by exploring experiences, relationships, and emotions in your past and present. As connections between these emerge, our lives often start to feel lighter. I will accompany you on this journey with compassion and understanding - and without judgment.

I offer a 15-minute initial consultation where we can explore whether we might be a good fit to work together. If we don’t work together, I can also offer advice on what other avenues you might consider.
