I use a blend of approaches tailored to your needs: a Solutions-Focused approach to help you take practical steps forward, a Narrative approach to reframe your story, CBT-informed techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and DBT-inspired tools to support emotional regulation and coping in stressful moments.
I’m here to offer a warm, welcoming space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, we can explore your challenges, uncover new perspectives, and take meaningful steps toward the change you want to see in your life.

A wellness counsellor focuses on overall well-being, helping clients manage stress, set goals, and navigate life changes. They use a proactive, holistic approach to strengthen coping skills.
A therapist typically works with clients facing specific mental health issues like anxiety or depression. They provide deeper therapeutic support to treat conditions and may diagnose mental health disorders.
Counselling can help if you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or facing life challenges like stress, relationship issues, or major life transitions. If you're unsure, reaching out for an initial consultation can help you decide if it's the right step for you.
In a counselling session, you can expect a safe, non-judgmental space where you can talk openly about your thoughts and feelings. I’ll listen, offer support, and work with you to explore solutions or strategies for overcoming challenges. Sessions are tailored to your needs and goals.
