Counselling Practice Website
Practice Information
I offer heart centred counselling for those interested in growth. I support Highly Sensitive People (HSP) and those struggling with anxiety grief and relationships. As humans, we thrive in connection and it is in relationships that we heal. Having followed a path of self-discovery through Gestalt and Internal Family Systems, I want to share the healing modalities that have brought me clarity and a sense of freedom and joy. In counselling, you and I co-create a space where you can come to understand all parts of you. When the parts of you that have suffered are heard, loved and feel connected, they will transform.
As a member of the LGBTQ2S+ community, I appreciate supporting others who identify in this way. As a life long learner and seeker I really love holding space for others on their path to self understanding. I have been doing a deep dive into Internal Family Systems (IFS) as I find this method very powerful and beautiful. I am an IFS therapist (level 2 trained) and am working towards my certification. I am trained in Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO) and offer relationship/couples therapy.
