Welcome! I’m currently in counselling training and am offering a small number of exploratory sessions alongside my studies.
My approach is calm, attentive, and practical. I work relationally and with mindfulness and body-awareness (Hakomi-informed), tailoring each session to the person in front of me. Some sessions are slow and reflective; others are more structured and problem-solving when that feels useful.
I’m queer-affirming, and I welcome LGBTQ+ clients.
What I can help with
academic and creative pressure (perfectionism, burnout, procrastination)
life transitions, relocation, and “stuck” periods
navigating life as an expat
relationships, partnership, and communication
sexuality and identity
anxiety, overthinking, and self-criticism
meaning, direction, and everyday joy
Practicalities
50 minutes, online

I am currently in the process of establishing regular professional supervision as part of ethical practice as a trainee.
