As an experienced and accredited counsellor, I'm truly dedicated to walking alongside individuals on their healing journeys. My heart-centred approach is deeply rooted in the compassionate and transformative principles of Internal Family Systems (IFS). I firmly believe that within each of us lies a beautiful core of wisdom and healing, often just a little hidden by the 'parts'—those various internal voices and emotions—that we've developed to protect ourselves throughout life.
In our sessions, I'll gently guide you to explore your unique inner world, helping you foster deep self-compassion for all your parts. Together, we'll access your inherent Self-energy—that powerful inner resource characterized by qualities like curiosity, calm, courage, and connectedness. This empowers you to truly heal past wounds, gently navigate present difficulties, and create a more harmonious internal system.
My work is continuously shaped by extensive training and a heartfelt commitment to learning and growing, allowing me to offer you tailored and truly effective support. I'm passionate about empowering you to discover your incredible inner strengths and build lasting resilience for a more joyful life.
My practice offers a comfortable and private space for your sessions. I'm pleased to have two dedicated therapy rooms. One is a peaceful, traditional counselling space, perfect for quiet conversation and reflection. The other is specially designed for sand tray and art therapy, offering a wonderful alternative way for clients, especially adolescents, to express themselves and process emotions when words feel hard to find.
For your convenience, there's private parking available right at the rear of the building. And if you're bringing a young person for therapy, parents are warmly invited to use a separate, comfy room to relax and enjoy a coffee while they wait, if that's what they'd prefer. My aim is always to create an environment that feels truly supportive and welcoming for everyone who steps through the door.
