About me and my approach

Part of why I do this work is because I know what it’s like to sit in deep emotional pain and wrestle with the curveballs life throws.  I’ve done the hard work of healing, and I bring that with me into my work. It means when I sit with clients in their pain, grief, or struggle, I’m not just nodding along - I can genuinely meet them there. My story allows me to connect with others in a way that’s real, human, and deeply empathetic.

​

As a therapist, I don’t sit in quiet judgment behind a polished clinical façade while you censor and filter what you bring. I show up as a real person, sometimes unpolished myself and I invite you to do the same. Swearing, venting, laughing, crying, or sitting in silence are all welcome and you don’t need to worry about saying the ‘right thing’. I often use humour when it fits, because even in the midst of heavy work, a little lightness can help us breathe. This is a space where you can bring your full, unfiltered self, and together we’ll work through the tough stuff with honesty and compassion.  Therapy doesn’t have to be stiff or clinical. 

Being a humanistic counsellor means I see you as a whole person, not just a list of problems or labels. It’s about creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore what’s going on for you, at your pace. Instead of me acting like an “expert” who tells you what to do, we work together. I believe you have the inner resources to make sense of your life and find your own way forward - I’m here to walk alongside you, help you untangle things, and support you in reconnecting with your strengths.  

I specialise in working with people who are dealing with anxiety, abuse, relationship struggles, (romantic, platonic and family) trauma, and loss. Most of the people I work with want the same thing—to feel calmer, happier, more connected, and more at ease with their lives.

​

I offer both short and long term therapy in person and online.
