What I specialise in:
I specialise in humanistic and person-centred approaches that support individuals to find integration, direction and meaning in life. Through the use of modalities like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and Narrative Therapy, I help clients tune-in to thier lived experience, and integrate aspects of themselves that might have been ignored or suppressed, to step into more valued ways of being.
Who I work with:
I have worked extensively with individuals who experience stress and anxiety, inner turmoil, emotional overwhelm and self-doubt, as well as those who grapple with perfectionism and people-pleasing.
I understand how daunting it can be to grapple with such issues, and am here to support you work with difficult thoughts and emotions to rediscover wholeness and clarity. Together, we will take purposeful steps that align with your values, guiding you toward a more fulfilling and authentic life.
WHAt TO EXPECT
Our sessions will be a safe space where we can slowly unpack your issue and explore the options and choices that will turn pain into purpose. I will respect your autonomy, as I believe that you are the expert in your own life, so we will work collaboratively to develop a therapeutic relationship that is warm and supportive.
mY PROMISE
Safe, non-judgmental space:
Bring me the parts of yourself you’ve been too afraid to share — with others or even yourself — and I will hold them gently.
Values Driven Guidance
What lights you up inside? What makes it life worth living? What truly matters to you? I commit to tailoring our work to align with your unique values and goals.
Transparency and Honesty:
I will be open and honest in our work, providing you with feedback and insights that will help you understand yourself more deeply.
