I’m not your typical counsellor. Maybe it has to do with the road I took to get here myself. I’ve spent the last nine years focussed on counselling, care, and wellbeing. I have a solid background in education and the creative arts—which just means I bring all those experiences and dynamics into the therapy room to enable me to host a space where everything you bring belongs. 

I’m all about walking alongside adults of all ages as they navigate the messy, real stuff—trauma, relationships, big life changes, grief, loss, and those deep spiritual questions (including faith deconstruction and reconstruction).

I aim to create a space that feels safe, welcoming, and totally judgment-free, where you can take things at your own pace. My approach is creative, trauma-informed, solution focussed and built around you—your strengths, your story, and what actually helps. I blend Narrative Therapy, CBT, and Symbolic Modelling Therapy to shape unique, personalised sessions that make sense for you. With couples I draw on the Gottman Method, solution-based and analytical methods.
