Life can be stressful, and I understand the feelings of anxiety, depression, and the struggle with difficult emotions. I support clients in coping with life transitions, challenging feelings and memories, and overall emotional well-being. I provide a supportive, understanding, and confidential space where you can express yourself, explore your emotions, confront your challenges, share your untold story, or make sense of the complexities in your life.
Through therapy, I help you discover healthy coping mechanisms, improve your relationships with others and yourself, and regain your sense of peace.
I can work with a variety of issues including; Anxiety & Depression, Stress, Relationship difficulties, Difficult childhoods, Struggling parenthood, Family issues, Self-esteem & Self-discovery, Grief & Loss, ADHD & Autism, Co-dependency & Addiction, Abuse, Shame & Guilt, and Anger.
We can work with nervous system regulation, by learning skills that empower you to feel in control of your emotions which can be transformative for anxiety and depression.
I guide individuals in discovering their true selves, finding their voice with authentic expression, recovering from people-pleasing behaviours, building confidence, establishing boundaries, and cultivating trust.
Experience
I currently work as a student counsellor for young people aged 16 and older. This role involves short-term therapy that covers issues such as stress, career concerns, anxiety, academic pressure, loss, grief, trauma, neurodiversity, sexuality, relationships, abuse, bullying, and self-esteem.
In private practice, I have experience dealing with trust issues, difficult childhoods, self-esteem, confidence, co-dependency, anxiety, depression, trauma, nervous system regulation, and addictions.
I also have experience working with individuals in the adult industry and an understanding of addiction recovery, including the challenges faced by adult children of alcoholics. Before this, I spent ten years as a massage therapist, focusing on pain relief, stress management, chronic illness, and cancer therapies.
What can I expect from Therapy?
You can expect a professional therapist that is relatable and honest. I believe the healing starts with a good counsellor/client relationship. Reaching out is the first commitment you make to yourself to enable change. I am open-minded and work to meet you where you are at. I believe in making it work for you. That could look like talking therapies, creative work, or movement, and it's okay if some of those things do not work for you!
