My Approach
Solution-Focused & Strength-Based
Life may have felt heavy for a long time, and identifying your own needs hasn’t always been easy. You might be used to holding everything together, even when it hurts. Together, we’ll take a closer look at what’s already carried you this far: the quiet strengths, values, and glimpses of clarity that deserve more room. The goal isn’t to rush toward solutions, but to gently notice what matters most to you and explore small steps that could offer some relief. Together, we will explore what’s possible from here, not by pretending things are okay, but by building something more solid from what’s already within you.

Thoughtful Tools for Everyday Life
When life has been full of walking on eggshells, second-guessing yourself, or surviving one emotional storm after another, even small tasks can feel heavy. In our work together, we might bring in tools from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help with anxious thoughts, spirals of self-doubt, or the pressure to “just move on.” These strategies are offered gently, never as a fix, but as support. They are about helping the mind slow down, easing emotional overwhelm, and making space to care for yourself in ways that feel doable.

Trauma-Informed Collaborative Counselling
It takes courage to begin unpacking what’s happened, especially if the harm came from someone who was supposed to care. There’s no agenda, no pushing, no expectation to explain everything right away. The work moves at your pace, with a deep respect for what safety means for you. A trauma-informed approach means your experiences are taken seriously, and your voice leads the way. Whether it’s about making sense of what’s behind you, learning to trust yourself again, or
imagining something better ahead, we will walk that path together.
If this feels like the kind of support you’ve been looking for, please feel free to book a
session or reach out with any questions.
