“You have spent so much of your life pushing through, holding it all together, and feeling unseen in your pain—but deep down, you long for a space where you do not have to explain, justify, or hide what you have been carrying.”
Individual Counselling
Living with chronic pain, chronic illness, or the effects of trauma can be an overwhelming and isolating experience. When your body carries pain or illness, or your mind is weighed down by past experiences, it can feel as though no one truly understands what you are going through.
I offer a space where you do not have to minimise your experience or pretend to be okay. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and grounded in both professional expertise and personal understanding.
The first time we meet, I will learn from you about what has happened to you, and how you are experiencing this in your mind, body and interactions. You will be provided with strategies to support the areas you have identified as concerns and receive a summary email after our session. This summary means you don’t have to focus on anything but being present in the session and should take away the stress of remembering what was discussed.

Couples and Family Counselling
Relationships can bring deep connection, comfort, and joy—and at times, they can also stir up pain, distance, or confusion. Couples counselling offers a safe and structured space to slow things down and really hear each other. Whether you are navigating ongoing conflict, communication challenges, a sense of disconnection, or life transitions, our work together can help you begin to understand the patterns that get in the way of closeness.
I support each of you to get to know the protective parts that show up in your relationship—those parts that might shut down, lash out, withdraw, or try to manage things alone. Often, these parts are trying to protect more vulnerable parts of us that hold longing, fear, or pain. In therapy, we make space to connect with those deeper places and learn how to share them in ways that invite empathy, understanding, and change.
Please be aware that a few individual sessions are recommended prior to beginning couples counselling. These sessions help create a foundation of emotional safety, increase self-awareness, and support each person in identifying the parts of them that show up in relationship. This individual groundwork allows us to enter couples sessions with more clarity, compassion, and the capacity to stay connected—even in difficult moments.
Couples counselling is not about assigning blame—it is about discovering how each of you can feel safer, more understood, and more connected in your relationship.

Health Advocacy and Support
I understand how frustrating it can be when doctors dismiss or invalidate your symptoms - These sessions are flexible and designed to change this.
I believe you are the expert on your body. Together, we will create a comprehensive map of your symptoms, documented in a clear and concise report that you can present to your general practitioner.
The report is written using medical language, ensuring doctors listen, validate, and make appropriate referrals to support your health. This approach aims to break down barriers to diagnosis, facilitating more accurate and timely medical care.
There is also an option to have me present on the phone during the appointment to provide additional advocacy and support. Before this phone call, we discuss your concerns and questions. During the phone call, I will take notes and support you to regulate if you feel overwhelmed. I will also remind you if you have forgotten any of the questions you were hoping to ask. After the phone call, you will receive a summary of your medical appointment.
My goal is to support you in navigating the healthcare system with confidence and clarity, so your needs are heard and addressed effectively.
Cost: $65 per 30 minute session

Not ready for counselling or therapy?
Reaching out for counselling can be one of the hardest steps to take, and it’s perfectly okay if you’re not ready just yet. Healing and support are deeply personal journeys, and there's no right timeline for when you should seek help. If you're not quite there yet, that's alright.
In the meantime, you can explore the resources I’ve created to offer support and guidance at your own pace. Whether it's guided meditation, a self-paced workbook, or other tools designed to help you reconnect with yourself, these resources are here to assist you whenever you feel ready.
