About me

It takes tremendous strength and courage to reach out and finally say - something's not working. It can be easy to put aside our doubts, worries, traumas and behaviours, and let our busy lives take the lead.�

Yet as you know, these feelings don't just disappear, and one day something builds up within us that makes us say - 'ENOUGH, I need to deal with this.'�

Naturally, our first step is to reach out to friends, family, or colleagues, and although we respect their opinions, do we truly allow ourselves to be vulnerable within these relationships?�

Are we completely honest about our feelings, or do we often water things down as to not worry or upset those we love? More importantly, how often do we sense that they've really listened or understood us?

That's where a counsellor like myself can help. Counselling creates a safe space where you can talk openly and honestly about you, and what you need, without worrying about judgement or damage to a relationship.

Now, you may be thinking - how can just talking bring about change?�

And my response would be - when was the last time you felt truly heard?�

Yet in the context of our professional relationship, I will hear you, as you will too, allowing you to slowly make sense of your difficulties.

And that genuinely is my philosophy of counselling and why I'm so passionate about supporting others; because when we feel truly heard and understood, we have the ability to survive, renew and grow.
