About Me

Welcome! I am a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist, specializing in working with both adults and adolescents. My previous career as a critical care nurse enriches my therapeutic practice, allowing me to understand the diverse needs of my clients more comprehensively. I believe that every individual has unique experiences and challenges, which deserve personalized attention and support. My approach is rooted in empathy, active listening, and evidence-based practices tailored to each client’s specific circumstances.

Why Choose Therapy?

Life can present challenges and distress at any moment, affecting anyone. Seeking additional support through therapy can be incredibly beneficial. Whether you are dealing with stress, anxiety, personal or professional hurdles, feelings of isolation, sadness, loss, or struggles with self-worth, therapy provides a safe and empathetic space for exploration. While friends may offer support, there are times when it can be more helpful to speak with an independent professional who is trained to help you navigate these difficulties. Therapy offers a unique opportunity for growth and healing in an understanding environment.

Empowerment Through Therapy

I firmly believe that everyone has the potential to overcome their challenges, grow, and become the person they aspire to be. In therapy, we can work together to navigate overwhelming thoughts and emotions, guiding you towards a brighter future. The journey begins with recognizing that you’re facing difficulties; the next step is seeking help. Although this may feel daunting, reaching out for support can significantly alleviate your mental burden. It empowers you to reclaim control over your life. My goal is to lighten your load, help you regain a proactive mindset, and instill hope for what lies ahead.

Core Values​

Empathy: Understanding clients’ experiences from their perspective.
Beneficence: Promoting client well-being.
Unconditional Positive Regard: Accepting clients as they are, regardless of their behaviors or choices.

Why Choose Me?​

Seeking support can be a courageous step. I offer a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your challenges and work towards a more fulfilling life. I’m committed to helping you develop coping strategies and build resilience, empowering you to navigate life’s ups and downs.
