Embarking on a Journey of Self-Discovery and Healing

​

Welcome

​

Hello, and welcome. Choosing the right therapist is a pivotal step in your journey towards self-discovery and healing. I invite you to a complimentary in-person or online introductory consultation, providing an opportunity for us to connect, address any questions, and discuss how we might work together. This initial meeting carries no obligation, and I am more than willing to assist you in finding the therapist who best suits your needs.

​

 I hold a deep belief that every individual is a worthy, creative being, shaped by unique social and relational contexts. Through the therapeutic relationship, each person possesses the capacity to change, grow, understand, and move forward in life.

​

My Approach

​

As an integrative therapist, I draw upon a range of techniques from my training and experience to empower you to make the changes you seek. Central to my practice is the belief that the quality of relationships is paramount to healthy human development and well-being. I incorporate psychodynamic theory to explore how past experiences influence present behaviours and relationships, while also integrating humanistic principles that focus on the here and now. Additionally, I utilize Jungian dreamwork and guided visualization to delve deeper into your inner world.​

Experience and Qualifications​

​

 I completed my integrative counselling training in 2014, earning both a diploma and a BA with first-class honors. My five-year full-time studies encompassed various theories, including psychodynamic, humanistic, cognitive, psycho-social developmental, attachment, child development, philosophy, and neurobiology, covering experts from Freud and Jung to Winnicott and Bowlby

​

Additional training includes mindfulness, working with play and imagery, utilizing art, sand tray, puppets, dream work, and online/telephone counselling. I have worked privately with young people and adults, and as a secondary school counsellor, assisting many in understanding their feelings and behaviours to improve their lives.
