I use ACT to help clients make space for difficult thoughts and emotions without being overwhelmed by them. Together, we explore what truly matters to you-your values, identity, hopes-and support you in taking meaningful steps aligned with those values, even when life feels uncertain or painful. ACT helps clients build psychological flexibility, so instead of fighting inner experiences, they can begin to live more fully and authentically, right here, as they are.

Person-centred therapy is at the heart of how I work. I offer a space where you’re met with empathy, honesty, and unconditional positive regard, so you can show up just as you are. This approach trusts that you already hold the wisdom you need. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you reconnect with your inner voice, values, and capacity for growth, at your own pace.

Narrative therapy invites you to see your story from new perspectives. Together, we explore the stories you tell about yourself, especially the ones that may feel limiting or painful, and gently rewrite them in ways that honour your strengths and resilience. This approach helps you reclaim authorship of your life, making space for hope, meaning, and identity that feels authentic and empowering.

Motivational Interviewing helps you explore your own reasons for change in a non-judgmental, supportive way. Together, we uncover your values and goals, gently resolving any mixed feelings or doubts that might be holding you back. This approach meets you where you are, empowering you to find your own motivation and take meaningful steps forward, at your own pace.
