About Me
Approach
Ask a quick question or arrange a time to meet.
Services
I offer short-term individual counselling for adults and adolescents. I do supportive counselling, psychological education and mental health interventions. I believe your emotional and mental well-being is just as important as your physical being. Being vulnerable and opening up can be distressing which is why I offer a warm, non-judgmental and safe space for you to just be yourself.
I know reaching out to a counsellor takes a lot of strength. I encourage you to do so. You are more than welcome to contact me.
