About Me & How I Work
Have you ever felt different—like you’re speaking a different language from those around you?
Do you find yourself wondering, “What’s wrong with me?” when others don’t seem to understand you?
Perhaps you’ve learned to hide parts of yourself just to fit in, even if it means facing overwhelming emotions alone.
What if someone could sit beside you in those moments—not to lead or fix—but simply so you don’t have to go through it alone?
Imagine letting go of the mask and finally allowing your real self to breathe.
I’m a Humanistic psychotherapist with a heartfelt passion for supporting individuals who feel isolated by life’s challenges and long for deeper, more authentic connection.
Your essence holds vast depth, wisdom, and potential.
Together, we’ll explore who you truly are—beyond the roles, the fears, and the beliefs that tell you you’re too much or not enough.
You are not broken. You are evolving. And healing begins when you start to see and trust yourself again.
I’m glad you’ve found your way here. It’s a courageous first step.

My Rates
I recognise that taking the initial step to reach out and meeting with the therapist for the first time can be a daunting experience. If you feel uncertain or have any questions in regards to counselling, please feel free to contact me for a 15 minutes free and confidential assessment over the phone. If you decide that I am the right therapist for you, we arrange to meet weekly either for short term (6 to 12 sessions) or an open-end basis.
