Alongside a keen interest in academic psychology, I am drawn to counselling psychology as a practical discipline that combines psychological knowledge with human insight. I believe the power of counselling can extend to areas of a person’s life that are not ordinarily reached by other means. The human psyche is both the most fascinating and the hardest to reach part of a person, yet it holds the answer to who we are and why we do the things we do.

As a psychologist and an experienced counsellor, I recognise people come to counselling for a wide range of reasons, be it to nurse a broken heart, relieve workplace stress, navigate an acute life crisis or maintain a sense of emotional wellbeing and many others. I see counselling as a highly collaborative journey, and my role in the process is to offer an open, contained and compassionate space where all your worries and concerns can be safely explored and reflected upon, which will hopefully lead to deeper insights and positive resolutions. Through my own life experience and study, I have come to realise that the many problems we face in life, although seemingly unrelated, often lead to the same root cause and we often carry on reacting to events unconsciously in a familiar pattern that may no longer serve us. Counselling offers an unique opportunity for us to come together to explore and reflect on your unique life events past and present, so we can uncover all these underlying emotions and buried memories and in the process lessening their impact on us so we can carry on living life more freely.
