About Me
I am dedicated to creating a therapeutic environment where clients feel safe, understood, and empowered to pursue meaningful change. With compassion and care, I aim to provide a space where you can comfortably explore challenges and develop practical strategies for growth.
I work with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns, and I have a particular passion for helping people reconnect with their authentic sense of self and core values, as well as people navigating anxiety in its many forms. At the heart of my approach is a collaborative partnership that honours your unique experiences and personal context. I work from holistic framework and strive to consider the interconnected physical, emotional, and social, cultural and spiritual elements that contribute to your overall wellness.
Professional Experience
My experience is derived from working in multiple therapeutic settings, including a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) specialist practice, private practice, University counselling services and integrated holistic healthcare environments.
