About me
Hi, I'm Rhi.
Are you ready for change but unsure of where to start?
Are you looking to process the past and build a future that feels right for you.
Do you feel like you’ve run out of things to try? You’ve read the books, you know about coping skills, you’ve talked it out with someone before and nothing is shifting.
You’ve been labelled as anxious or over sensitive. You experience a whole list of ‘symptoms’ and you’ve gotten used to dragging them through life with you.
Your self confidence is at an all time low and you want to talk to someone who just gets it.
You’re ready to create a new version of you and you’d like some support along the way.
I specialise in working with young adults and teens to understand themselves better and make lasting changes.
Are you in your 20s or 30s and feeling the weight of the ‘panic years’?
--- What to expect from me ---
Trauma informed - I take a ‘zoomed out’ approach to counselling. You are a person, not a diagnosis or a list a symptoms. You have experienced a whole lifetime worth of things that may be contributing to where you are now. Together, we’ll make sense of everything and find a path forward.
Relational - I know just how tough it is to talk about the painful things that have brought you here. My aim is that counselling is the space that you can melt into each week, where you can be honest and let it out, where you know that someone has got you!
Empowering - You’re probably hard on yourself. Feeling anxious, low or lost is hard enough and then we pile frustration or shame on top. Together, we’ll work on finding you again and figure out the next steps from there.
Knowledge based - I love it when my clients get to the stage when they start to tell me what they think I’ll say next! You’ll leave counselling with the knowledge to understand yourself and those around you, helping you to move forward and take on whatever may come your way.
Celebrate your wins! - Trust me, there will be plenty!
--- Teens ---
I have many years of experience supporting teens.
If you are struggling at home or at school. If relationships are feeling difficult or you’re struggling with self confidence, I can support you to explore anything that is important to you.
