I work with people who often seem like they’ve got it together on the outside but inside they’re running empty. Many of my clients come to me feeling like they should be coping but beneath the surface they’re struggling to make sense of how they feel.
I focus on understanding your experiences in a meaningful way, not rushing into simple tips or quick fixes. My approach is collaborative and thoughtful, centred on the things shaping how you feel day-to-day. Instead I help you make sense of what’s going on to make things feel more manageable through building your understanding, awareness, and use of practical coping strategies where appropriate.
By the end of therapy, my hope is that you’ll feel more in control like you’re back in the drivers seat, choosing where to go next instead of being pulled off course by anxiety, low mood, or self-doubt.
I offer both short and long-term therapy (on Monday's only), working at a pace that feels right for you. If you’re ready to take that first step toward self-understanding and healing, I’m here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
