About me and my therapy practice

Not a magician, just focused, straightforward support—no tricks involved.

Counselling is about making sense of what’s on your mind and finding practical ways to feel more in control. I listen closely, ask questions that matter, and help you explore strategies that actually fit your life. Sessions are focused, supportive, and occasionally lightened with well-timed honesty—because life doesn’t always need another lecture.

I use evidence-based techniques like CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused approaches, tailored to your situation. Whether it’s anxiety, stress, self-esteem, work-life balance, or life transitions, we work together to clarify what matters to you and take steps that lead to real progress.

What You Can Expect

✅ A confidential, respectful, and focused environment

✅ Tools to manage stress, build confidence, and navigate challenges

✅ Sessions available face-to-face or online during weekday hours

✅ A counsellor who listens, keeps things grounded, and won’t waste your time

Areas of Focus

Anxiety & Stress

Self-Esteem & Confidence

Work-Life Balance & Burnout

Relationships

Practice description

I offer a completely non-judgmental safe space where confidentiality is of upmost importance. There is no pressure to continue, just the opportunity to see if you feel comfortable and want to proceed. 

As we are all individuals, the therapy I offer is very much tailored specifically to you because there is no 'one size fits all'.  

My first session

During our first session, we go through the Client/Counsellor contract which covers things such as cancellations, confidentiality, fees and goal setting. Once we have completed this, we then go on to do an informal assessment where I ask for general information such as a brief medical history and medications, what kind of support network you have, career and home situations.

This first session is mostly an opportunity for us to meet and see if we feel that we are the 'right fit' for each other and for you to see if you feel comfortable, without any pressure to commit to further sessions. The aim is to make you feel at ease, so it is all very low key and relaxed; and not an intense experience at all.
