Counsellor

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) who provides a wholistic, trauma-informed and culturally-sensitive approach to treatment. I work with children, teenagers, adults and families, offering them a safe haven that they can use to explore their more profound truths.

Having travelled most of the world during my childhood, I expand my approach to different cultures, races and ethnicities, always giving my clients the comfort of home. I focus on implementing a wide range of strategies and techniques in therapy according to the presenting concern. I lend my ear and let my clients take the wheel, allowing them to be aware as well as present in the moment.

Therapeutic Approaches: I offer an empathetic, validating and emotionally aware approach to counselling. My work is guided by Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CB), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and Emotion-focused Therapy (EFT). Additionally, my work often uses mindfulness-based techniques and an eclectic approach to therapy.
