My Approach
I use a trauma informed approach and I'm passionate about supporting and empowering people on their grief and trauma journeys.
As humans we are designed for connection and when we experience grief and trauma, we need support to come back to presence – to feel seen and heard.

I know that counselling is a powerful way of helping people reconnect with themselves through accessing their own intuitive wisdom. I believe that we all hold everything they need to heal but sometimes need support in connecting this capacity.
