MY
APPROACH
I provide psychotherapy and coaching for women navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, and life or career transitions.
Using a solution-focused coaching approach, systems thinking, and evidence-informed techniques, I help you uncover the underlying patterns that keep you stuck in unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Together, we explore new perspectives and integrate them to develop more effective processes leading to new ways of thinking, responding, and relating to yourself and others. My approach is practical, compassionate, and tailored to your needs, helping you build emotional and psychological resilience while reducing overwhelm.
For in-person sessions, I offer outdoors sessions, integrating the natural environment into our practice to support reflection and insight.
