Background & Approach

In a counselling session, you can expect me to be supportive and curious about who you are and your inner world. I am compassionate and non-pathologizing. I will provide empathy and support, alongside gentle questions and feedback in order to help you work towards your goals for counselling therapy.

I am passionate about helping people find relief from inner pain, and am curious about what brings them joy.  I support people to live fuller lives where they feel connected to themselves in an authentic freedom. I believe everyone can heal from past pains and traumas, and can create a life for themselves that they feel proud of.  I know this is true given my time supporting childhood survivors of sexual abuse and adults who have faced complex childhood trauma. 

I will focus on emotions that come up in session and be curious to what these emotions might be communicating. By listening to emotions and different parts of the self, I help people gently and safely connect to their body. I will use techniques from Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Somatic Inquiry (SI) to do this. 

I know sometimes emotions can be overwhelming, therefore I will help people feel more grounded and ready to dive into these intense feelings by providing grounding techniques and breathing exercises and taking things one step at a time.

I am honest and genuine during  counselling, and I am open to feedback to know if our counselling work is helping you. I also really enjoy focusing on what is going well in life, and I make time to celebrate your successes and growth. By the end of our session together, my intention is for you to feel calm, connected, and with a little more clarity than when we began.
