A Safe, Supportive Space
We provide a caring, non-judgemental environment where you can explore your feelings and discover what you need to feel better. Our approach helps with anxiety, depression, burnout, PTSD, parenting stress, grief, emotional regulation, and neurodivergence (ADHD, ASD, OCD).
Tailored Therapy & Creative Approaches
We integrate cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), solution focused therapy, mindfulness, and a holistic bio-psycho-social framework. For those drawn to creative expression, therapies such as art, play, drama, movement, music, and writing are available to support self expression, deepen understanding and support growth.
Each session is personalized to promote emotional well-being, build inner strength, and create lasting transformation.

My Approach to Therapy
We believe therapy should feel supportive, practical, and tailored to your unique needs. I combine several evidence-based approaches to help you understand yourself, overcome challenges, and build lasting well-being:
-
Solution-Focused Therapy – Helps you recognize your strengths and take small, meaningful steps toward the changes you want. It focuses on solutions rather than problems.
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – Explores the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns.
-
Mindfulness – Encourages present-moment awareness and calm, helping you respond to life with clarity, balance, and self-compassion.
-
Bio-psycho-social Approach – Considers your mind, body, relationships, and environment, recognizing how all these factors influence your mental health.

How Therapy Helps
By integrating talk therapy with these approaches, we can identify what’s holding you back, strengthen your resources, and support meaningful, lasting change. Therapy is not only about easing difficulties—it’s about creating space for growth, resilience, and a fuller, more balanced life.
Creative Exploration
Sometimes words alone aren’t enough. Expressive Arts Therapy uses drawing, music, movement, drama, or journaling to help you express emotions, gain insights, and experience growth. No artistic skill is needed—just a willingness to explore new ways of connecting with yourself.
