I specialise in interpersonal skills development to enhance emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. I assist you in developing and strengthening relationships, and improving mood regulation, and reducing self-destructive behaviours that may feel involuntary. My approach supports trauma recovery and overall mental well-being.

Using evidence-based modalities such as Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing, I help clients explore their experiences and uncover practical strategies that align with their personal goals.

I support individuals in dating and early relationship development, helping them build strong foundations based on self-awareness, healthy communication, and emotional resilience. Whether you’re starting a new relationship or rekindling an existing one, I provide the guidance and tools to create deeper, more fulfilling connections.

I also help couples reconnect and reignite the excitement in their relationships. Over time, life’s demands can create emotional distance, leading to indifference and disconnection. My approach helps couples navigate these challenges by fostering deeper understanding, emotional attunement, and renewed intimacy.

Deciding to seek help for addiction can feel overwhelming—especially when the cycle feels unbreakable. Whether you’re new to treatment, returning after a relapse, or unsure where to start, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your options.

My trauma-informed, person-centred approach recognises that addiction often stems from emotional pain, trauma, and deeply ingrained coping patterns. Recovery isn’t just about stopping a behaviour—it’s about understanding the beliefs and feelings driving it.

Through consultation and assessment, I support individuals to:

✔ Explore their readiness for change

✔ Build emotional and psychological preparation for treatment

✔ Break self-defeating patterns and develop new coping skills

✔ Connect with services that meet their needs

✔ Involve and support loved ones through the process

True recovery means reclaiming your sense of self, building resilience, and creating a life that no longer requires escape. I’m here to support you on that journey—wherever you’re starting from.
