Hello! As your dedicated and compassionate psychotherapist, my primary goal is to support you in coping with and moving beyond your struggles. In my counselling practice, I believe in working together to achieve healthier and happier days. By helping you explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, I will empower you to take control of your well-being and pave the way for a more positive future.
With over 6 years of experience in working with clients of all ages and on diverse issues, my aim is to guide you through managing and overcoming challenges such as depression, anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, relationship/marriage issues, and body image concerns, as well as navigating workplace stress, or school/academic stress.
