What Is Counselling?
We all experience unpleasant situations, trials, and troubles in our lives. Usually, we find the strength to adapt to or overcome these setbacks — allowing us to move on positively with our life journey. But sometimes, we become overwhelmed and unable to see any answers immediately.
Counselling allows you to work with an experienced professional counsellor to explore your feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. It offers a confidential and sensitive space to discuss your issues — whether current or historic. In short, it’s about bringing you from a troubled past to a more serene present.
No matter where you are in your life struggle, seeking help is a powerful sign of strength. With guidance, advice, and understanding, you achieve a deeper awareness of yourself, discover coping mechanisms, and work toward achieving your goals for better wellbeing.

How Counselling
Can Help You
Sometimes, the weight of the world seems to press down upon your shoulders. Painful or troublesome emotions simmer constantly beneath the surface — causing you inner turmoil and leaving you depleted and drained. I completely understand.
While you’re certainly not alone in feeling this way, the reasons behind the heartache and turmoil are highly personal to you. Whatever your current circumstances, history, or life obstacles — together, we will rediscover your peace, and bring you comfortingly back to a place of serenity.
Finding a sense of quiet may feel like a distant goal — but you can achieve it! My experience allows you to overcome a wide range of life hurdles.

Anger Management Counselling
Your anger seems like a simmering pot, ready to boil over at any moment. You’re scared that it impacts your relationships with colleagues, friends, and loved ones. I know how you feel. Anger therapy equips you with the skills to powerfully manage these potent emotions.
Anger is a perfectly natural human reaction. Together, we aren’t searching for ways to obliterate it completely. Instead, we create strategies that allow you to control your anger before it controls you — permitting you to use this charged emotion for strength, motivation, and change.
Transform Your Anger Into a Controllable and Positive Force
Relationship Counselling
All relationships experience times of disillusionment, disappointment, and heartbreak. Heated arguments, feeling like you’ve drifted apart, and suspicion or distrust aren’t unusual. Relationship therapy helps you rebuild confidence, reconnect, and promote a healthy, happy, and fulfilling partnership together.
Working with you and your partner in individual and couple sessions, I will empathetically and considerately steer your relationship back on track — to a place of contentment and self-assurance. Without judgement, we can repair broken bonds and encourage understanding between partners.
Reignite the Spark and Reconnect
Depression and Anxiety Counselling
Feeling down, hopeless, and drained? These could be signs of depression, a challenge that removes your motivation and makes your day-to-day life a struggle. Or, do you experience constant worry and fear, like you’re always on edge? This is anxiety, hijacking your thoughts and disrupting your sleep.
Anxiety and depression are real-life hurdles — not signs of weakness. If you find it a strain to face your day, you don’t have to do this alone. As a mental health counsellor, I give you the room to unpack and explore your inner turmoil. Together, we identify the tools and techniques to regain control and rediscover contentment.
Seeking Help Is a Powerful Step Toward Peace
Grief and Loss
Losing someone or something important is incredibly painful. We become attached to the most valuable aspects of our lives, and when they’re taken from us, we experience grief and loss. You may feel this as sadness, anger, loneliness, confusion, or even depression. Counselling gives you a hopeful light in the midst of your darkness.
Whether it’s the passing of a loved one or pet, the pain of miscarriage or pregnancy termination, or a relationship breakup, I can help. I won’t entirely remove your feelings of grief — they’re crucial for genuine healing — but I will lead you back to a place of comfort, acceptance, and serenity.

Career Counselling
Sometimes, your career feels like a major chore. You feel unmotivated, trapped, and in a daily cycle that promotes feelings of dread or fear every morning when you awake. Furthermore, these dissatisfactions and anxieties impact your personal life — affecting relationships and causing you to feel stressed and upset at home.
Career counselling gives you the vision to explore what you want from your work life — and how to achieve it. This may be pursuing a new calling or enhancing your current employment situation — by elevating your drive and focus, forging a constructive work-life balance, or alleviating tension and conflict with colleagues.
