Counselling

I believe in doing life alongside people, building a safe place free of judgement together, and where stories can be shared, so a ripple effect of change can occur. Being in a space where curiosity questions can draw out untold stories, undiscovered gems and deep-rooted strengths to challenge the overshadowing feelings of self-doubt, fear, and trauma. I will walk alongside you as a co-conspirator, so you do not feel alone as you step into the courage to reclaim or discover the freedom that you deserve.
