My Path to Becoming a Counsellor

My path to becoming a counsellor began as a teacher and school counsellor. With degrees in Education, Women & Gender Studies, and a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology I became increasingly interested in how our early relationships and cultural conditioning shape the way we see ourselves.

 

I saw how struggles with self-worth, ADHD, people-pleasing, anxiety, and body image affected girls and women in every part of life—from relationships and career decisions to the way we speak to ourselves every day.

 

Beyond my training, my own experiences with social anxiety, body image challenges, and poor boundaries deeply shape my work. They have given me true empathy for how hard this process can be, and a firm belief that developing a healthier relationship with yourself is possible at any stage of life.

Areas Of Focus

I support women whose struggles with self-esteem, anxiety and relationship challenges are often rooted in attachment wounds or early trauma.

Together, we'll explore what's keeping you stuck, build practical tools for coping, and create meaningful changes that align with the life you want to live. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, questioning your self-worth, struggling with your relationship with food or your body, or navigating a significant life change, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself and move forward with greater confidence and clarity.​

      Starting Your Journey

 

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you've spent a long time trying to manage everything on your own. You don't need to have the right words, a clear plan, or even know exactly what's wrong before reaching out. You simply need a place to start.
