Have you been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unable to switch off your thoughts lately?

Maybe you’re exhausted, burnt out, or finding it hard to cope with everyday life. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep feeling this way.

I support people who feel anxious, stressed, or emotionally drained to find more balance, calm, and confidence in their lives. Together, we can work towards being more in touch with yourself and your emotions, finding your strengths, and discovering simple ways to manage stress and overwhelming feelings. We can also focus on reducing procrastination, creating a healthier work–life balance, and finding more joy in your life and relationships.

My background in science means I use approaches that really work. One of these is EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Tapping, a gentle and effective way to release stress, fear, and emotional pain. It can also help with trauma, PTSD, unwanted habits, and even physical tension. Using your fingertips to tap on pressure points while focusing on your feelings can bring a welcomed sense of calm and clarity.

I also offer EMDR therapy, a powerful and proven method for healing from past traumas and finding peace of mind. EMDR can help you process painful experiences safely and move forward with greater confidence and emotional freedom.

With my multicultural background and interest in history and genealogy, I understand how our past, sometimes even generations before us, can shape who we are today. I have a deep interest in intergenerational trauma and how it can influence our emotions, relationships, and behaviours.

If you’re ready to start feeling lighter, calmer, and more in control, I’d love to help you take that next step

Research supports that online therapy is as effective as face-to-face counselling and has added benefits of your own familiar environment. 

I offer long and short-term online counselling.

Counselling with me offers a warm, supportive space for people who feel overwhelmed by life’s challenges or are struggling with burnout. Together, we’ll focus on helping you feel more in control of your life, calm, and confident.

My multicultural background and passion for history and genealogy help me understand the deeper layers that shape who we are as individuals and within our families.

I also offer EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Tapping, a gentle yet powerful method for easing emotional distress. EFT can help relieve anxiety, stress, fears, and even physical tension. It supports healing from trauma and can reduce unhelpful habits or cravings. In sessions, we use light tapping on specific points on the upper body while focusing on what’s troubling you, helping your mind and body find calm and balance.

Another approach I offer is EMDR therapy, a highly effective, research-backed method for healing from past traumas. EMDR helps you safely process painful memories, freeing you from their emotional weight so you can move forward with greater peace and confidence.
