Sometimes life is really hard and having someone who can really listen helps.

How I can help:

  • I will provide a safe place where you will be heard and validated as you work through any issues that you may have
  • I will provide a non-judgmental and confidential space to process hard things
  • I can help you to work through thoughts and feelings to gain new perspectives
  • I can offer strategies and tools to move forward, set goals and plan for the future
  • I can support you on your journey through all kinds of loss and grief

About Me:

I am an experienced counsellor with a very flexible approach, which means together we can find a way of working that suits you.  I have worked with cancer patients and their families for a number of  years so I’m very comfortable holding space while talking about difficult things. I have also worked for a number of years in the addictions field.

I use tools and techniques from a range of modalities including Person Centered Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy.

My areas of specialty include Grief, Loss, Bereavement, Anxiety, Depression, Relationship issues, Navigating issues relating to Cancer (diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, fear of recurrence, end of life).

Please ring, text or email me to make a time for us to meet.
