Individual Counselling
50 or 75 min
Individual counselling offers a supportive and collaborative space to explore what feels difficult, confusing, or stuck in your life. People come to counselling for many reasons — to better understand themselves, to navigate change, to process emotional pain, or to develop more compassionate and sustainable ways of relating to themselves and others.
In our work together, we may explore:
Emotional experiences that feel overwhelming, painful, or hard to name.
Patterns in relationships, work, or life that no longer feel supportive.
Anxiety, stress, low mood, or feelings of disconnection
Identity, values, and life transitions.
Developing tools for emotional regulation, self-understanding, and choices.
I work from a person centred, trauma informed approach that is grounded in cultural sensitivity and integrating various modalities to best support each person’s unique needs. We may explore cultural nuances and personal narratives, while making space for the in-betweens—where new insights and possibilities can emerge. I help bring attention to the various parts of us that show up as we learn to sit and understand these feelings (emotionally and somatically) and see where they might lead us. My approach is grounded in inner wisdom, compassion, and expansion — holding space for growth and change that feels co-created rather than prescribed.
What to Expect:
Your first session is an opportunity to build trust and connection with your therapist in a warm, supportive space. Rather than immediately diving into deep emotional work, the focus is on creating safety, understanding, and clarity around your reasons for seeking therapy. I usually spend the first couple of sessions getting to know you and learn more about:
What brought you to therapy
How do you envision my support in this journey
Your goals and hopes for the process
How we can work together to create meaningful change
It’s natural to feel a bit nervous or unsure, but as we get to know each other more, you might find your anxiety eases as we move along in the journey. Clients have full control over what feels safe to explore, and I will respect your boundaries every step of the way.
After our initial sessions, based on what we’ve discussed, we might go deeper into insights, curiosities, emotions, and things that have come up naturally. The process typically feels organic as we find the rhythm along the way. My role is to offer gentle guidance throughout, ensuring what we are doing still feels aligned to your needs.
relationship counselling
50 or 75 min
Relationships can be deeply meaningful and also surprisingly complex. Whether you and your partner feel stuck in patterns of misunderstanding, are navigating conflict, or want to strengthen connection and communication, relationship counselling provides a supportive space for exploration, growth, and collaboration.
In relationship counselling we say your relationship is the client, we will work together to:
Understand the patterns that are shaping your interactions
Increase emotional attunement and mutual understanding
Build skills for clearer communication and conflict repair
Explore each person’s needs and experiences in the relationship
Co-create ways of relating that feel more connected and trustworthy
All forms of romantic partnerships are welcomed and affirmed, including monogamous, polyamorous, and other consensual relationship structures.
What to Expect
Your first couple’s session is a space to slow things down and begin building safety, trust, and understanding together. Rather than focusing on who is right or wrong, the early sessions are about getting to know both of you and the dynamics that brought you here. I usually spend the first couple of sessions learning more about:
What led you to seek couple’s therapy
How each of you experiences the relationship
Your hopes and intentions for therapy
How we can work together to support connection and clarity
It’s common for couples to feel nervous or unsure at first, especially if communication has felt strained. You are always in control of what feels safe to share, and I will honour each person’s boundaries while ensuring both voices are heard.
As we continue, we may begin to explore patterns, emotions, and insights that naturally arise, while building tools to support communication and repair. The process unfolds at a pace that feels respectful and collaborative, with gentle guidance to ensure our work remains aligned with your needs and goals.
