About me

As a qualified Specialist Wellness Counsellor, registered with the ASCHP, I hold an Honours Degree in Psychology (cum laude) and am registered as a Graduate Member with The British Psychological Society. In addition, I have specialized in play-based intervention (aka play therapy), which has given me a different perspective to approaching life’s challenges that we often over-complicate as teens and adults.

I am dedicated to helping you navigate the complexities of life’s hard knocks (such as trauma, grief, abuse) and learn to cope better in the daily grind (such as parenting, adulting, relationships), with grace and strength. Through a combination of evidence-based interventions and personalized support, you can empower yourself to not only overcome your past experiences but also to thrive in your present and future endeavours.

If you are ready to embark on this journey, I am here to support you every step of the way … because you deserve to THRIVE!

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
Couples therapySupport for couples working through problems and who want to gain insight into the relational dynamics that contribute to the problem.
Person-centred approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.
Trauma informed careRecommended for those who have experienced trauma and need a safe, supportive space to heal at their own pace.

My approach is rooted in empathy, understanding, and a firm belief in the human capacity for positive personal growth and healing. Healing is not just about overcoming pain, but also about rediscovering joy, connection and purpose.

Together, we will work towards building a life that is not defined by your challenges, but rather by your resilience and strength.
