My Journey to Holistic Counselling

While I was always interested in helping people cope better, life took an unexpected turn during my honours degree when I was involved in a serious car accident. Facing enormous physical and emotional challenges, my desire to help others took on an entirely different meaning—I discovered first hand how life can look completely different from what we expected and still be good.

This experience fundamentally shaped my understanding of resilience and healing. After completing my postgraduate studies in applied psychology, I knew I wanted to help others navigate their own unexpected challenges with the same hope I discovered.

My Training & Experience

Beyond my academic foundation, I've pursued specialized training that directly serves my clients:

• Trauma counselling and debriefing through Hospivision and the Traumatic Incident Reduction Association

• Practical counselling experience at churches and through 7 Cups of Tea (acclaimed by the Wall Street Journal)

• Professional registration with the Association for Supportive Counsellors and Holistic Practitioners (ASCHP)

• Ongoing development through yearly Continuous Professional Development (CPD)

My Approach

I am naturally curious, empathetic, and attentive—qualities that help me provide counselling from a truly holistic perspective. I consider your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness because I believe healing happens when we address the whole person.

In our sessions, you'll find:

• A safe space to discuss and process whatever you're facing

• Practical tools for emotional regulation and stress management

• Clear strategies that create real, lasting change

• Compassionate support as you journey toward wholeness

• Feeling overwhelmed by life's demands

• Processing difficult emotions or past traumas

• Seeking space and perspective to move forward

I'm here to provide the caring presence and practical support you need.
