My professional experience includes 20 years in the not-for-profit sector, working in a variety of social service roles, including mental health and wellness support. I am currently completing my Master of Counselling degree with City University. My areas of focus include working through times of life transitions such as shifts in career, relationships, family, home, health, or identity, as well as the impacts of trauma, grief, and stress. I am keen to work with anyone wanting to explore how to move towards greater wellbeing. The most impactful part of counselling starts with the connection between counsellor and client, and I aim to build trust and respect by offering a non-judgemental space. It’s a great privilege as a counsellor to get to hear what is important to each individual and to reflect on these together.

Rooted in empathy, authenticity, and non-judgment, I strive to create a safe and welcoming space where individuals can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I believe that healing is a collaborative process, and my role is to support each client on their journey toward growth, self-discovery, and lasting change.

My approach is client-centered, strengths-based, and respect-focused, with a strong emphasis on trauma-informed practice. I prioritize creating a therapeutic environment that ensures safety, empowerment, and trust, meeting each individual where they are. I draw from a variety of modalities, including person-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Gestalt therapy, somatic practices, and mindfulness, tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs and goals of each person. I remain flexible and adaptable, ensuring the tools and techniques used align with each client’s therapeutic goals and values.

I focus on highlighting and fostering the inherent strengths of each person, encouraging resilience, self-compassion, and personal empowerment. Above all, I am committed to providing a compassionate, inclusive, and respectful space where healing can unfold at its own pace.
