Life can be complex and uncertain. I can help you with your concerns. You may be feeling unfulfilled or worried about a recent loss or your relationships. I can assist you to walk along side you in your time of sadness, loss, grief, or situations that are holding you back from having a more fulfilling life. Many of my clients say they may have tried other counselling, though it hasn’t worked. I can work with you - no matter where you are at. I help you find hope in your life again.

I work exclusively with adolescents and young adults seeking medium/longer-term psychotherapy. Working consistently over time allows us to create a safe space to openly explore who they are, why they feel the way they feel (and do what they do) to pinpoint what they truly need to thrive; and I'll be there for support and guidance as this self-knowledge translates into meaningful real-world choices. My style is conversational, collaborative and down-to-earth - we are in it together and our sessions are real, present and genuine time together.

My therapeutic approach is tailored to the young person and adult, informed by trauma informed care, gender affirming practices, attachment focused and client centred principles. I believe that clients are the experts in their own lives and that connection and trust is paramount in the therapist and client relationship. Underpinning all of my work is a person centred and strengths-based approach, where counselling can happen within the context of a safe, supportive and respectful therapeutic relationship.
