About Me
As an experienced Clinical Counsellor, I know that when we do not repair what is problematic in our lives, we often repeat it. Equipped with effective counselling skills and experience, I can help you to obtain the understanding and skills required to help you to move forward in your life. I believe in the transformative power of counselling and feel privileged to be given the opportunity to assist you on your journey.
I am proficient in working with a variety of presenting concerns including: complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship issues. I employ a variety of evidenced based approaches including: EMDR, Mindfulness Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Narrative Therapy, and Family Systems Therapy. I am a compassionate and solutions-oriented counsellor with a record of establishing strong therapeutic relationships.
