Verified

“You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, struggling in relationships, or finding yourself caught in familiar patterns, she offers a warm, non sjudgmental space where you can speak openly and feel heard. Together, you can explore what matters to you, make sense of your experiences, and find ways forward that feel right for you at your own pace.”

About me

She is a Counselling Psychologist with over four years of experience supporting individuals through emotional challenges, relationship difficulties and life changes. She understands that opening up can feel unfamiliar or difficult, and welcomes you as you are whether you know what you want to explore or simply feel that something isn’t quite right. Her approach is compassionate, collaborative and grounded in evidence-based care, with a trauma-informed and queer-affirmative lens. She takes time to understand your experiences, identities and needs, helping you explore your feelings and work towards changes that matter to you, at a pace you feel comfortable with.

Approach

Her approach begins with understanding you, your experiences, relationships, strengths and what you hope to gain from therapy. She works collaboratively with you to make sense of your feelings, notice patterns and explore ways of coping that fit your life. Drawing from a holistic, client-centred, trauma-informed and eclectic approach, she adapts sessions to your needs rather than following a fixed formula. There is room for both reflection and practical tools, with your identities, choices and pace respected throughout.
