I recognize the importance of collaboration and safety inside of the therapy space and because of this I work primarily from a strengths-based, client-centered framework. Working from a client-centered framework centres you in the process and offers flexibility in style and approach. I can offer you a holding environment, a warm empathic witness, and non-judgemental listening. I recognize that much of what happens in the therapy space can feel big, and potentially overwhelming. With this in mind I recognize the importance in creating a space where you feel safe to express these big feelings, ensuring that you feel contained prior to leaving the space. Using art and nature as tools for processing thoughts, feelings and issues in life can be helpful. When we use art we are not limited to typical art supplies, and there is no experience required to participate in art therapy! I offer a free consultation to ensure this is the right fit for you before providing services.

Therapy does not have to be a life-long process; the more actively the client engages in therapy is between sessions, the shorter term the treatment process. CBT and DBT are active forms of treatment – engaging the client in identifying skills they can practice in between sessions to improve their quality of life.

The foundations of my counselling career began working as a Social Service Worker in various areas of social and mental health services supporting youth and adults.

This means that we respectfully collaborate with each other in a way that will best support you in getting the help you are looking for. I bring to counselling my expertise in the helping process, my experience and all of who I am.
