Whether you’re new to counselling and therapy or taking the next step along your path, I’m glad that you’re here. It takes courage to face our struggles and explore the issues that impact us and I know from my own experience how daunting it can feel to begin this process.

My journey towards becoming a counsellor started with my experience of therapy as a client. Exploring my challenges in a safe, supportive and affirming space helped me to live a more connected and fulfilled life. I’ve also had experiences in therapy, as a neurodivergent woman, that weren’t safe so it’s incredibly important to me that the space I offer is LGBTQIA+ affirming, disability affirming, neurodiversity affirming, anti-racist and fat-positive. I’m always happy to share more about what this means in practice if you have an aspect (or intersectional aspects) of your identity that are impacted by oppression and you’re wondering whether I am the right fit for you.

You might want to focus on a specific struggle, or perhaps you want to understand yourself and your experience better. What ever your reasons for coming to counselling, I offer a collaborative space where you can connect with yourself while being seen, heard and supported. I am also passionate about the practical aspects of therapy and offering a space where you can explore build tools and resources that you can use outside of the therapy room, to support you to be more resilient as you respond to the inevitable challenges of being a human.

My approach as an integrative counsellor varies from person to person and we’ll work together to explore what’s right for you and what you need. The types of therapy I work with include psychodynamic, gestalt, humanist/person centered, acceptance and commitment therapy, and somatic trauma therapy. I’m also a licensed meditation teacher, a yoga teacher, a sound practitioner and I do work to facilitate wellbeing in nature.

You don’t necessarily need to work out whether any of these approaches are right for you, they’re simply tools that I’ll use to support you as we work together to explore the struggles or experiences that have led you to seek counselling. I aim to work in a way that’s transparent and collaborative because I believe that you are the person who best understands your experience in the world.
