Feeling overwhelmed or stuck? Maybe something’s been weighing on your mind too long, or you’re ready for meaningful change. You don’t have to go through things alone! Together, we can explore what’s beneath the surface and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life. I believe you already hold the inner wisdom to know what’s best for you. My approach is collaborative and respectful—I’m here to walk alongside you, not lead the way. In our sessions, you’ll find a safe, supportive space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Let’s work together to reconnect with your strengths and create the change you’re looking for.
I offer professional and ethical counselling services designed to support individuals in navigating a wide range of challenges.

No concern is ever too small to bring up—every detail of your experience matters. As I often say, if it’s happening in your world, then to me, it’s a world event. I’m here to listen, to support, and to help you navigate whatever you’re facing. Whether it’s something major or something that just feels off, you don’t have to carry this on your own.
FAQs
What kind of issues can be addressed in counselling?
Counselling is helpful for navigating emotional, psychological and physical challenges including stress, anxiety, depression, workplace conflict, relationship issues, academic problems, identity and self-discovery, life transitions, grief and loss, burn-out, chronic illness, and disability.
How long does a typical counselling session last?
A typical counselling session lasts for 50 minutes.
How many sessions will I need?
On average, clients benefit from engaging in 8-12 sessions of counselling.
What can I expect during my first session?
During your first session, the counsellor will get a general sense of your needs, goals, and expectations for counselling. They will explain how the process works, the main therapeutic approaches they use, and the limits of confidentiality. Additionally, they will go over the counselling contract and consent form related to information sharing. You will also have the chance to ask your counsellor any questions you might have.
How do I know if you are the right counsellor for me?
It may take time to know for sure, but after one or two sessions, you should have a better idea of whether the counsellor is a good fit for you. Key factors to consider include whether you feel safe sharing your thoughts and emotions, can build trust and rapport, and feel understood and supported. If you answer ‘yes’ to all three, it’s a positive sign you’re on the right path.
Is everything I say in counselling confidential?
Everything you share with your counsellor is strictly confidential and kept private. However, there are a few exceptions to this. These include situations when your counsellor has reason to believe that you or others are at risk of harm, when your counsellor discusses case information with their supervisors to ensure they are providing professional and ethical care, or if a court orders the release of counselling records. If any of these situations arise, your counsellor will discuss them with you beforehand, unless informing you could potentially cause harm to yourself or others.
