My Values

Compassion, Authenticity, Relationship, Discovery

How I Work

My practice is fundamentally collaborative, relational, person-centred and deeply ethical.  I start by creating a safe, judgement-free space in which we can meet and begin our work. I will support you to identify and develop skills and strategies to navigate challenges in your life. We will cultivate your strengths to build resilience; increase your capacity to be present in your life; bolster your sense of vitality; and, promote effective action and engagement in your life. Together, we will create the space for you to explore and discover; to deepen your sense of self, what you value and care about, and how you would like to be in the world.

A good fit between client and counsellor is clinically important.  Please, take the time to find a counsellor with whom you think you could build an open, respectful and strong working relationship.  For this reason, I offer a free initial 10 minute phone consultation.
