I see children, teenagers, adults, couples, parents and groups.
I believe in authenticity, compassion and self love. We are holistic beings - sensing, feeling, thinking and doing. We strive to have a meaningful relationship with ourselves, our significant others, our community as well as our environment. Life is a journey, not a race. Sometimes life is hard, but we have the capacity to heal, change and develop.

My ideal client is someone who feels misunderstood, whether they are a child struggling with learning differences, a teen navigating the complexities of adolescence, or an adult facing emotional challenges. They may be grappling with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues, or the weight of unresolved pain from their past. Their goal is to find clarity, build resilience, and ultimately flourish in their lives. They want a safe space where they can express themselves without judgment and receive the guidance they need to uncover their strengths and potential.

As Dr Zizz, I write picture books for children and adults to inspire them, through my publishing company Handmade Life.
I help people who are stuck, in their heads or in undigested emotions, or in difficult life circumstances, relationships and families. I teach that the only person you can change is yourself, but when you do, the ripple effect is massive. Be the change you want to see, never mind what trauma has led to your anxiety, depression etc. We're all addicts: we all have devoted habits or coping mechanisms. After a while these harm us. Find another way. I use a Transpersonal approach because it's v effective. This means I remind you you are connected to something greater than yourself, however you define that - and how to employ that daily.

I have a passion for working with children, adolescents and young adults. In my practice, I strive to facilitate every child's growth for them to be able to reach their full potential.

My ideal client is someone who has a need for therapy, but may find it difficult to talk about their issues. Words may seem limited to describe what they feel inside of themselves. Child clients sometimes don't know or understand the extent of their unhappiness, or are too young to know that they are mentally and emotionally affected by circumstances. My ideal client is someone who suffers from trauma and early childhood wounding, or presents an array of other clinical presentations, including depression, anxiety disorders and much more. Clients seek therapy because they have a desire to be healed and emotionally be in balance.
