Life can be a rollercoaster, filled with both joys and challenges, and it is entirely normal to seek guidance during times of uncertainty. As a professional counsellor, I firmly believe in the power of genuine connection and the profound impact it can have on our lives. I understand that reaching out for help can be daunting, but rest assured, you have already taken a courageous step by exploring the possibility of counselling.

With a deep respect for your unique experiences and emotions, my approach to counselling centres around you. I firmly believe that you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can freely explore your thoughts, feelings, and aspirations. Together, we will work collaboratively to identify your strengths and unearth the tools you already possess to navigate life's challenges.

I have professional experience with working with people of different communities, I am GSRD (Gender, Sex, and Relationship Diversity) aware. I have experience with working with the LGBTQIA+ community and experience with communities that live alternative life styles, I am LGBTQIA+ aware and I am alternative relationship aware, such as polyamory, swinging or other types of relationship diversity.
