About Me
Through my experience with clients, I’ve learned to see each one as a unique universe. I strive to create a safe, empathetic, and non‑judgmental space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, understood, and accepted for who you are.
My work is guided by a deep respect for your cultural background, personal history, and emotional world. I believe that every person seeks meaningful connection and a sense of inner acceptance, and I am dedicated to supporting you as you recognise your true worth and take meaningful steps toward lasting change.
Therapeutic Approaches
As a trained and qualified counsellor, I have a deep understanding of trauma, mental health, and wellbeing. My approach integrates cognitive‑behavioural, psychodynamic, person‑centred, transactional analysis (TA), Gestalt, and Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy (PPT). I draw from these modalities fluidly, integrating elements from each approach to suit your unique needs, cultural background, and lived experience. This allows me to honour your pace, your story, and the cultural meanings that shape how you relate, feel, and heal — ensuring each session is attuned, responsive, and personally meaningful.
How I Can Support You
I specialise in individual and couples therapy, supporting clients through trauma (e.g., not feeling good enough, procrastination), emotional challenges (e.g., shame, excessive fear, resentment, anger), and experiences of neglect (e.g., feeling disconnected from your family, lack of affection or support). Every session is tailored with compassion, clarity, and emotional attunement.
Personal Interests
Outside of counselling, I find inspiration and balance in reading, dancing, yoga, and exploring nature. These practices help me stay grounded, creative, and connected — allowing me to bring presence, clarity, and emotional attunement into the therapeutic space.
