According to social neuroscience healing begins in a safe, compassionate relationship where you can feel understood without judgment. Through my therapeutic lens of Compassion Focused Therapy I seek to bring this safe environment.

Compassion Focused Therapy is the foundational lens through which I work. Depending on your needs and goals, counselling may also incorporate trauma-focused approaches.

We work together to strengthen your capacity to manage difficult experiences, and supports for meaningful, lasting change.
