I understand that reaching out for counselling can be daunting.

As a trauma informed counsellor, I understand the effects trauma and stress can have on you.

I support those facing:

  • A major life event such as change in relationship (romantic or otherwise), moving, change of job or career

  • Struggles with the effects of trauma, anxiety or stress

  • Mental health challenges in the workplace or burn out

  • Difficulty identifying, processing and communicating the emotions you are feeling

  • Distress in your romantic relationship as an individual or couple

Reaching out for support is the first brave step.

My therapy and counselling services address stress, trauma, relationship distress, and burn out amomg others.

    Emotionally Focused Therapy

    Emotionally Focused Therapy helps you recognize and shift patterns that may keep you stuck in painful emotions. It also fosters trust in your emotions and teaches you to engage with them in new, healthier ways.

    Somatic Therapy enhances your awareness by attuning you to the sensations in your body moment to moment. This increased awareness and ability to respond to what arises help expand your nervous system’s capacity and regulation.
