My Journey​​

My path to becoming a psychotherapist has been rich and varied, equipping me with a unique perspective that enhances my ability to support and understand my clients. Before embarking on my psychotherapy career, I earned a BEd (Hons) in Teaching, which instilled in me a passion for guiding others and fostering personal growth. My journey then led me into the corporate world, where I gained valuable experience in the fast-paced IT industry, which has given me an insight into the stresses and challenges many face in their professional lives, from work-life balance to career transitions and workplace anxiety. As an entrepreneur, I've experienced the exhilaration and uncertainty that come with forging your own path. This experience has proven invaluable in helping clients who are navigating life changes, dealing with stress management, or seeking to build self-confidence.

​

My background allows me to offer more than just textbook solutions. I bring real-world understanding to our sessions, whether we're addressing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, addiction, or personal development. This blend of professional training and life experience enables me to connect with clients on a deeper level, offering empathy, insight, and practical strategies for growth.

​

I am deeply passionate about promoting mental health awareness and normalising the process of seeking help. In our society, caring for our mental well-being should be as natural and accepted as maintaining our physical health. I strive to create a safe, non-judgemental space where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and feelings. My goal is not just to help you navigate current challenges but to equip you with tools for long-term emotional resilience and personal growth. I believe in the transformative power of therapy, and I am committed to supporting you on your journey towards a more fulfilling life.​​​​
