Benefits
Counselling can help you get unstuck & to make meaningful change in your life so you can make the most of your life!
Some of the benefits of counselling may include:
Enhancing your self-awareness which carries over to your relationships, including your relationship with self.
​
Developing capacities for increased psychological and emotional resilience such as learning to sit with emotions and discomfort.
​
Create new inter and intra-personal narratives and experiences which better serve your needs and goals.
​
Align with your values, purpose and preferred way of being.

About me
I have seen first hand how emotional & mental health challenges, particularly those arising from loss & change as we journey throughout life, can rob talented, normal, ordinary people from their potential & set them on difficult life trajectories.
Yet why are many so reluctant to seek early support?
​
We may feel embarrassed & worry about whether what we are feeling and going through is normal?
We may succumb to living pressures & try to simply carry on alone?
-While this approach may work for us in the short term, we may find ourselves 'hitting a wall' eventually or we may end up missing out on all that life offers us & end up living in a restrictive limiting way.
​
And so while we can't control what happens to us in life, we can however choose to seek help early so we can 'healthily' manage difficult, yet temporary periods of change.
​
And this is where I believe the support of a trusted non-judgemental, counsellor can be invaluable.
There are however no quick fixes or cures and the only way to move through it is to lean in & to honour your experience because no two people experience things in the same way. - And I am here to support you every step of the way.
​
Perhaps influenced by my background in the Arts & Humanities, I believe in the power of the human spirit, human resilience & in the innate capacity of ALL humans to flourish in their lives in however way this may be defined by them. .
​
And so, after a 13 year corporate career, I became more & more drawn to psychology because of the incredible possibilities it offers to shift & align our lives towards greater fulfilment.
​
And so began a life-long quest to learn, grow & to help others learn about & to embrace the core ways in which we are human & our human experience.
​
It is a privilege to be of service to my client & I look forward to potentially meeting you.
