About me

I know from my own experience opening up and seeking support can be scary at first but it could be the thing that changes how you are feeling.
I offer a free twenty minute introductory telephone call to see if we seem the right fit for each other, where you can change your mind, no questions asked. If you want to go ahead, we will schedule a time to meet weekly or fortnightly. I always routinely check in how the sessions are going for you and how many sessions feel right for you.

Counselling is a private space for you to talk about whatever is on your mind. To sit with someone who is professionally trained, not just to listen, but to help you sort through how you have been feeling and hopefully feel better about yourself. Life is often unpredictable, busy and complicated and sometimes we can lose sight of who we are or what we want. If you are feeling lost, stuck or unfulfilled, I'm here to help you rediscover what it means to be you.

If this sounds right, I would love to hear from you via email and we will find a time that feels right for you to have our first call.

My approach

Our sessions could provide a dedicated time which is only about you, a place where you will not be judged and can come as yourself. Our sessions would not be about trying to fix you, but about uncovering your strengths and making space for you to explore your feelings and experiences. No matter what you are coming to talk about, I will treat you with respect, openness and empathy. I hope to work together to help you feel more connected to yourself and change how you feel about your life for the better.

Couples Counselling

Talking about your relationship with someone new can feel daunting and vulnerable. Similar to individual counselling, you may not have spoken to anyone about your relationship before and it can feel strange. I can assure you that the sessions will be confidential and impartial, casting no judgement on either individual's past actions. I support couples to work through conflicts, improve communication and connection and understand more about their relationship and how to move forward.
