My goal is to foster secure attachments, enhance emotional wellbeing, and improve the quality of your relationships and life.

‘She/Her’
Welcome, I am a qualified and experienced Clinical Counsellor that provides teletherapy to adults nationally, and internationally.
The counselling space provides an opportunity to unpack your unique lived experiences, hold space to process, respectfully be empowered, and find your sense of self whilst learning some skills, tools and strategies.
It can take courage to consider reaching out for support, particularly if it is the first time. It is not uncommon to feel apprehensive about engaging in therapy even though it can be very beneficial in many ways.
As Nelson Mandela so beautifully shared in his wisdom, “you can't have courage without fear”. Just showing up, and maybe even with a little willingness to be vulnerable, is progress.

About
As a counsellor, psychotherapist and human, I describe my therapeutic style as collaborative, curious and genuine, whilst utilising trauma-informed principles. I am an integrative therapist that draws on range of modalities and approaches depending on the individual person. My framework is grounded in attachment-based therapy and with a narrative approach. I have worked in the human services space for over a decade in diverse roles and have supported hundreds of people in private practice. In conjunction with my professional experience, my own personal life journey of healing has only enriched my practice as a therapist.
Alongside being a therapist, I live a minimalistic lifestyle, I am an introverted, extrovert, find sanctuary in nature, love tiny homes/living, have a passion for quality foods, I can often get lost in a good book, and I spend my days with my husband, Sam and our beautiful dogs, Buddy and Skye.
