How can I help?
Counselling
In a supportive and growth-focused space, we’ll embark on a transformative journey, where you’ll reclaim control and thrive. Together, we’ll craft a strategy to tackle life’s challenges with flair and resilience. My trauma-informed approach blends evidence-based techniques from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Narrative Therapy, mindfulness, and relaxation methods. As a Level 2 Gottman-trained relationship therapist, I also help couples unlock their best selves and build lasting, fulfilling connections. Let’s take that first step together with a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re the perfect fit. With 30 years of experience in person-centred roles, I’ve supported people from all walks of life to improve their quality of life and overcome personal challenges.
