Counselling for anxiety, trauma, burnout and life changes
I see teens and adults at our Mill Bay office and online. You might come in with a clear goal, or only a sense that something needs to change. Either is a good place to start.
My approach
I take a person-centred, trauma-informed and integrative approach. Healing happens in a relationship where you feel genuinely seen, heard and accepted, so that’s where we start.
I draw on Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic, body-based approaches. Together we can explore patterns that no longer serve you, understand what’s happening inside, and strengthen your connection with yourself.
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, trauma, burnout, relationship struggles or a big life change, my goal is to help you build a life that feels more grounded and more like your own.
How I work
- Internal Family Systems (IFS)
- Somatic approaches
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
- Narrative therapy
- Mindfulness
- Person-centred therapy

“Every person has the capacity for change and resilience. My role is to walk alongside you as you reconnect with yourself.”
My story
My interest in counselling grew from wanting to understand people, relationships and the ways our experiences shape us. Through community mental health, crisis support and anti-violence work, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people through some of the hardest moments of their lives.
That work showed me how much connection and compassion matter, and how important it is to have a space where you feel safe enough to be yourself. I’m continually inspired by the resilience I see in others, and I feel honoured to walk alongside clients as they heal and find new ways of relating to themselves and the world around them.
