I am deeply passionate about my work and feel privileged to be able to hear people’s stories. I provide my clients with a safe space to share and process their experiences.  

 

I practice from a trauma-informed approach and draw on a range of different models depending on individual needs. I aim to provide people with skills to navigate life’s challenges from a position of greater self-awareness and understanding.
