About Me
Life has a way of taking us on unexpected journeys. My path to becoming a counsellor wasn't a straight line, but it's one I'm deeply grateful for. Years ago, I found myself struggling with alcohol addiction and unresolved grief. It was a dark time, and I felt lost and alone. But with the help of counselling, I found the strength to face my challenges and embrace sobriety.
This experience was transformative. It showed me the power of having someone truly listen and support you through difficult times. It also sparked a passion in me to help others the way I had been helped. So, five years into my recovery, I made the decision to train as a counsellor.
Now, I see my past struggles as a source of strength and empathy. They've given me a deep understanding of how it feels to be vulnerable and the courage it takes to ask for help. In my practice, I create a safe space where you can explore your own challenges without judgement.
Beyond my counselling work, I've spent years in the medical device industry, collaborating with healthcare professionals who treat conditions like MS, Parkinson's, and cancer. This experience has deepened my appreciation for the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of compassionate support during life's toughest moments.
As your counsellor, I bring not just my professional training, but also my lived experience and the belief that within each of us lies the power to heal and grow. I'm here to walk alongside you on your journey, helping you tap into your inner resources and find your way forward.
