Description

Welcome to a space where transformation is not merely a dream but an assured reality. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I firmly believe that "Therapy is Beyond the Couch." My practice lies in guiding clients through their unique journeys, assisting them in overcoming challenges, and fostering a path towards holistic well-being. My approach revolves around fostering a secure and non-judgmental space, encouraging you to delve into your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I integrate evidence-based practices to cultivate a culturally sensitive atmosphere.
