Helping You Feel Seen, Understood, and Supported

Starting counselling can feel intimidating — you might not be sure what to expect, or whether it will actually help. My approach is grounded in understanding both how your mind and body respond to stress, change, and past experiences. Sessions are paced to your comfort, focusing on practical ways to feel steadier, clearer, and more capable in your day-to-day life.

How I Work

I believe therapy works best when you don't have to perform for your therapist.

You don't need to come into a session knowing exactly what to say, sit a certain way, make eye contact, or have everything figured out. My job is to meet you where you are, get curious about what's happening with you, and create a space where we can make sense of things together.

I tend to be practical and down-to-earth in my approach. We'll talk, notice patterns, sometimes look at what your body or nervous system is doing, and find ways of working with what you're experiencing that make sense in your actual life.

Who I Work With

I support teens, adults, parents, and neurodivergent clients.

A Bit About Me

I'm naturally curious about people and about the reasons we respond the way we do. One of the things I value most in this work is the moment when something that has felt confusing or frustrating begins to make a little more sense.

My background in both counselling and occupational therapy has shaped the way I see people. I don't tend to separate emotional health from what's happening in the body, relationships, environment, routines, and everyday life. Sometimes understanding the whole picture helps us find a much more useful place to start.

As a therapist, I'm warm, practical, and straightforward. I don't expect sessions to be perfectly serious, either - there's always room for humour, awkward moments, not knowing what to say, and simply being human.

If what you've read here feels like it might be a good fit, you're welcome to book a counselling session.
