Counselling That’s Conversational, Relational and Real
Counselling doesn’t have to be prescriptive or overly formal. While I have the training and professional qualifications (RSW) as well as decades of experience, I prefer a more informal and relaxed approach that often feels like a conversation or a retelling of your story. I always show up to our sessions as my authentic self. One who is compassionate, honest and no nonsense.
I believe in:
Helping you to reframe your story
Release the "old chapters" that keep you feeling small and abandoned and rewrite the story that aligns with the new version of you.
Honest conversation
No jargon, just real talk about what's holding you back.
Healing through transition
Finding your spark and reclaiming the joy you think is gone for good.
Whether we meet in person here in Hamilton or have therapy virtually from the comfort of your own home, I’m here to walk with you. It’s time to stop just “getting through the day” and start living the life you were meant for.
