When you are ready, I'm here to listen, reflect and empower you to navigate through the challenges of your life.

I will create a safe space for you to explore thoughts, beliefs, and experiences. As a registered Counsellor and Positive Psychology Practitioner, I will sit by you and help guide you towards a more enjoyable and meaningful life.

In our sessions, my aim is to promote mental health and wellbeing, enhance your self-understanding, as well as talk through any concerns you have. Depending on your needs a variety of techniques can be utilised in session; cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and expressive therapies. You'll be actively involved in every stage of the process. Within a session, you may:

• explore feelings of anxiety and unhappiness.

• reflect on the past, present, and future.

• approach thoughts, feelings, and sensations from a point of curiosity rather than judgment.

• experience techniques to calm your nervous system.

• learn strategies to enhance your positive emotions.

• participate in goal setting and values identification exercises.

Who am I?

I believe science and spirituality both aid in recovery. Healing often requires an open mind and heart. When I am not counselling, I am painting, writing, or walking, I believe in finding your passion and running with it.

Life is to be enjoyed.

I am energised by working with individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Mentoring students has been a particular passion of mine, collaborating with organisations that support high school students from low socio-economic status schools. I am driven by helping people discover their potential.

In my previous career, I worked in the Talent and Engagement space for 10+ years. My area of expertise centred around personality assessments, talent development, emotional intelligence, success profiling, and conducting feedback sessions, training, and workshops. I have worked as a Positive Psychology Practitioner on various assignments with clients from diverse backgrounds.

I hope to connect with you soon. Everyone is welcome.
