A gentle place to soften, reflect, & heal
Counselling and psychotherapy support for adults, individuals and couples, offered in person or online.
Many people come to counselling carrying experiences that have shaped them deeply. Life can be turbulent. Painful moments can leave us feeling sharp, guarded, or disconnected from ourselves.
My work is about creating a safe space where those edges can soften, without erasing what you’ve lived through. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting or fixing yourself. It means learning how to be held with care, just as you are.
A Personal Understanding of Holding Things Inside
Like many people, I grew up in an environment where struggles and emotions were not openly talked about. I learned early on to keep difficult feelings inside and manage on my own.
Although I functioned day to day, there was always a sense of distance between how I was living and how I wanted to live. It wasn’t until I became a crisis counsellor that I truly understood how healing it can be to feel supported and heard.
That experience continues to shape how I work with clients today.

How We Work Together
I offer counselling and psychotherapy using holistic, client-centred approaches that are grounded in research and tailored to each person’s unique needs and experiences.
My work is informed by therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, solution-focused therapy, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Together, we move at a pace that feels safe, respectful, and supportive.
A central part of my work is helping clients develop self-compassion. Many of us are deeply connected by imperfection and suffering, yet we often judge or punish ourselves for experiencing them. Self-compassion allows space for healing without judgment, creating the conditions for meaningful and lasting change.
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
