“I feel privileged to be a part of my client’s journey towards self-discovery, empowerment and life purpose. I offer a person-centred, trauma informed and integrative approach that is grounded in attachment and systems theory. I further utilise a variety of additional researched and evidenced based counselling and psychotherapy theories that identify how the mind and nervous system fuel our behaviour and often compound interpersonal conflict, leaving us ‘stuck’ or in a repetitive cycle of disappointment and dissatisfaction.

By offering an integrative blend of cognitive and psychotherapy interventions, clients have an opportunity to access the innate power, resilience and wisdom they were born with. Clients are unique and present with personal life-journeys and circumstances that have resulted in their story and sense of identity thus far and as therapists we need to remain open-minded and curious. When I meet a client, I am interested in them as a whole person, and want to understand them beyond the diagnosis or set of symptoms they have presented with”.
