My approach: I see my role as a safe emotional container, where my clients can unpack and explore their experiences, and rely on my compassionate support and knowledge of therapeutic interventions. I view therapy as a process of self-discovery, and make room for individual differences to understand each client as a unique person. My holistic approach to healing believes in the need to balance intellect, spirit, emotions, and the body. I help my clients become conscious of their unconscious processes, and meet with their intrinsic sense of personal responsibility over their actions and choices. I am aware that therapy can feel vulnerable and difficult, and I try to build strong working alliances so my clients can be true collaborators in the process.

I myself have become more attuned with myself through the process of therapy, unlearning patterns that are unhelpful, and learning to better regulate myself. I offer my services to others from a place of personal healing and awareness. I enjoy reading, learning more about my field of work, and yoga.

Specialisations: I have a keen interest in working with young women who have a history of relational trauma & patterns revolving around codependency.

My approach:
The aim of my work is to facilitate healing in the client by helping them reclaim suppressed emotions and underlying unconscious beliefs. To attain this awareness, I create a compassionate space where clients can be vulnerable. Hence, the core of my work involves being present, attuned, and compassionate to the client’s pain, while advocating for the possibility of liberation from suffering. I believe in the client’s inner wisdom, resilience, intuition, compassion, creativity, and courage. I honour my client’s journey back to these aspects of themselves.
I employ somatic techniques in my work, and enjoy writing/drawing as a means of expression for the client. I value ethics, safety, and openness to feedback from clients.
