What I Offer
I provide individual online counselling for adults (18+) who are wanting to work through:
- Anxiety, depression, and stress
- Alcohol or other drug use
- Trauma, PTSD, and CPTSD
- Grief and loss
- Identity and values exploration
- Relationship or communication patterns
- Life transitions and direction
- Chronic pain or health-related issues
- Self-worth, shame, and self-criticism
Online Counselling
All sessions are offered online only, so you can access therapy from the comfort and safety of your own space; no travel, parking, or waiting rooms. Whether you’re at home, in your car during a break, or somewhere peaceful, therapy can meet you where you are.
Online therapy is evidence-based and effective. I use secure video sessions (Google Meet) to ensure privacy and confidentiality at all times.
All sessions tailored to your needs. Together we’ll explore what matters most to you, build awareness, and create meaningful steps toward change.
