Individual Therapy

Feel more grounded with therapy and counselling

Whatever your reason for coming to therapy, with the right support, you can grow your capacity to change what you wish to and find peace and acceptance for that which cannot be changed.

Whether you are experiencing difficulties right now, recognise how your past continues to have a negative impact on your everyday life, or wish to gain more self-awareness and improve your communication skills, I can help you facilitate the change you want.

02

Relationship Therapy

Reconnect with hope and intimacy

Learn healthier ways of communicating and alternative ways to manage conflict in your closest relationship.

Better communication in itself can offer a sense of relief from recent problems and stuckness. 

Relationship therapy offers you a space to explore your issues, where you will both have the opportunity to be truly heard and validated.

Seasons of Renewal

Respectfully let go of what's holding you back

Personal development for people who want more vitality, peace, and wellbeing. 

Tending to life's inevitable changes, losses, and griefs expands your capacity to feel better, healthier, and happier. 

Together we will give space to the unspeakable, unattended, and uncomfortable emotions and experiences that are unavoidable in everyday life. 

Whether you are experiencing the loss of a person, relationship, a part of your life or identity, or are feeling weighed down by the sorrows of the world (...the climate & biodiversity crisis, power and diversity divides, and loss of societal structures), Seasons of Renewal is for you.
