I offer a warm and engaging approach to exploring what’s causing you pain. My focus is on helping you re-connect with yourself to discover what you need to live a more fulfilling life.
I am a multi-cultural, integrative and intuitive psychotherapist. My approach combines psychodynamic, humanistic, existential, body psychotherapy, intuition and creativity. In practice, this means we’ll explore your thoughts, feelings, body, and behaviours with curiosity and compassion. We’ll explore your relationship with yourself and others, your needs and your values. And connect the dots to discover what's keeping you stuck and why.
My aim is to help you understand yourself as a whole and feel empowered to live the life you want.
I welcome creative expression- through drawing, writing, working with objects, or using imagination and intuition.
I have over 10 years experience working with a wide range of clients, and I see clients privately with a special interest in working with identity and any kind of difference, including culture.
I believe we all have the ability to grow and thrive with the right resources. I also believe that when we build a more trusting relationship with ourselves, we can take that belief in ourselves through every challenge and face it with more confidence.
I offer online sessions via video or voice call.
If you’d like a confidential space to explore difficult parts of your life or to gain perspective from an objective professional, therapy could be a great place to start.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
