Our commitment to integrity means that you can count on us to continually strive for trustworthiness and transparency in our support for you.

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. Guided by the belief that everyone seeks a deep sense of interpersonal connections and self-acceptance, I am dedicated to helping 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, and person-centred techniques, allowing me to tailor each session to your unique needs.

Specialisations

I am specialised in individual and couples therapy, trauma(e.g., not feeling good enough, procrastination), emotions (e.g. shame, excessive fear, resentment, anger etc.), and 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.
