It is my belief that counselling offers space for growth and healing. As a clinical counsellor I am committed to creating a safe and inclusive space where individuals can explore their thoughts and emotions freely. Having worked in the field of mental health and substance use for over a decade, I bring inclusivity, kindness, honesty, and a touch of humour to my practice. I provide a confidential and non-judgmental environment where you can express yourself without fear, the feeling of safety is key. Compassion and empathy is at the heart of my approach. I believe that kindness is a powerful catalyst for personal growth and healing. Laughter can be a therapeutic tool, I use humour to create a warm and inviting atmosphere where you can feel comfortable and relaxed. I am deeply passionate about helping you navigate life's challenges and achieve your personal goals. I respect your autonomy and believe in your ability to make informed decisions about your own life. I am here to support your journey, not dictate it. My practice is guided through evidence-based, holistic, and effective counselling techniques. As such, my approaches are person-centred and individualized to your own unique needs.

Seeking counselling is a courageous step toward self-discovery and growth. If I am the right fit for you, we could work together on your journey to a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life. Don't hesitate to reach out, even to ask a question. I look forward to connecting with you.
