In my early teens I was really curious to understand what mental health and mental health support meant. Over the years reading and hearing experiences of people’s mental health journeys drew me to becoming a counsellor, with the hope to make mental health more accessible in my own little way.

It’s been a privilege to hold space for people’s stories of resilience, hope, commitment, love, tears, resistance and so much more.

The hope is for people to experience a comfort and safety in their sharing of stories and journeys, alongside a sense of feeling heard and respected. To explore skills that could support them and their experiences.

Therapy is a collaborative process which requires commitment. It’s not instructional, so feel free to articulate your thoughts, feelings and preferred ways of engaging in conversation. For now, let’s take it one session at a time, and reflect together from time to time about how therapy is working for you.

A relationship of care, solidarity, collaboration and safety. A relationship that honours and nurtures the client’s stories, intentions, hopes and values. To be able to have a friendly rapport while respecting boundaries of the client - therapist relationship.

People are always responding, in the toughest of times people find those silver linings to hold onto :)

To hold space for vulnerable and difficult conversations. To respect people’s stories, experiences and pace of sharing.

A therapeutic approach that views people as the expert of their own lives and respects people’s identities. Holding onto the idea that people are not the problem, but problems lie in systemic injustices and oppression. A therapeutic approach that focuses on exploring skills and strategies that help respond to problems, people may experience in their lives.
