Sometimes we can feel stuck and need a safe space to explore ourselves and what we’re going through. A space where we can rebuild into a more empowered version of who we are or simply deconstruct to uncover our authentic inner self.

Sometimes, it’s about finding our voice to hear ourselves and to be heard. Other times, it’s about carefully ending a chapter in a meaningful and harmonious way that honors the versions of ourselves we’ve been, while starting a new chapter full of hope and curiosity. At times, we may find ourselves standing still at a crossroads, unsure of our next move, and needing to step back before choosing the next step forward.

Whatever life brings, therapy offers the quiet, sensitive support needed to process both the highs and lows. Together, we will find the path forward on your journey toward healing and growth.

My style is creative, often using metaphor, active imagination, and guided imagery to unlock deeper understanding and expression when words alone may not suit or suffice. When things refuse to be captured in words alone, I use a variety of techniques to help unlock deeper understanding and expression. In essence, I am an Integrative Humanistic Person-Centred Psychotherapist who connect diverse psychotherapeutic approaches to tailor therapy to meet client’s individual needs. Other therapeutic tools I use include: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), trauma-sensitive mindfulness, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT).

With years of experience, I believe that equality is therapeutically central for collaboration in the healing journey. At the core of my practice is a focus on self-compassion, personal growth, and supporting you freeing yourself from unrealistic expectations and the harshness of self-criticism. I shall pave the way for you to navigate to understand and overcome the negative feelings and thoughts that might have shaped your life. I’ve found that exploration—both gentle and in-depth—often reveals the roots of these feelings and allows space for your healing and positive transformation.
