About Me
From a young age, I've been deeply interested in understanding people - how we connect with ourselves and others, the emotions we experience, and the stories that shape who we are and how we live our lives. This curiosity led me to pursue a career in psychology, and train as a therapist and a coach. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, young people and adults through a variety of challenges, including anxiety, trauma, self-doubt, eating disorders, and major life transitions.
What underpins my practice is deep empathy for the human experience and a commitment to seeing the inherent value in everyone. I believe that true healing occurs when we feel seen, heard, and accepted for who we truly are. This belief shapes my approach and fuels my dedication to creating a space where you can be your authentic self, without fear of judgment.
My personal journey of healing and self-discovery has taught me how difficult it can be to break free from old patterns and build a compassionate relationship with oneself. I bring that understanding into my work, knowing that real growth comes from a place of deep self-awareness and acceptance. I am passionate about helping others reconnect with their inner wisdom and navigate the path toward lasting, meaningful change.
My Approach
Every person’s journey is unique, which is why I tailor my approach to you. I offer therapy and coaching as distinct services, each with its own focus, but both aim to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered.
Therapy provides a space for exploring what’s on your mind. Whether you're addressing a specific issue like anxiety, trauma, or relationship challenges, or simply need a place to reflect, therapy helps you understand and process what's coming up. I work integratively, drawing from person-centred, psychodynamic, Gestalt, CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and inner child work to support you in processing difficult emotions, building self-trust, and creating meaningful change.
Coaching is more future-focused. It’s about identifying goals, shifting limiting beliefs, and taking actionable steps toward a life aligned with your values. In coaching, we focus on practical strategies, mindset shifts, and confidence-building to help you move forward with clarity and purpose.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and client-centred. I bring knowledge and expertise, but you bring your insights, strengths, and lived experience. My role is to help you reconnect with your inner wisdom, break free from limiting patterns, and create meaningful change.
Whether you’re seeking therapy, coaching, or aren’t sure which approach fits best, I’ll meet you where you are and support you in a way that feels most meaningful to you. Book a free 15-minute phone consultation to discuss your needs and explore how we can work together.
