more About my Services & Approaches
Services
Individual Counselling: For those seeking support with stress, anxiety, trauma, or life transitions. We explore your internal world, regulate your nervous system, and build tools to help you feel more present, grounded, and in control.
Trauma & Somatic Therapy: For experiences that feel stuck or overwhelming. We work gently, safely, and slowly honouring your pace while helping the brain and nervous system process and soften what has been too much to carry alone.
Performance Counselling (Athletes &
High Performers): Supporting athletes, students, leaders, and high-pressure roles. We address identity, stress, fear, recovery, burnout, and the internal demands
of performance.
Youth & Family Support: Helping young people navigate anxiety, transitions, performance expectations, or emotional overwhelm with inclusive support for families when appropriate.
Approaches & Methods:
Trauma-Informed Therapy: A safe, compassionate approach that prioritizes your pace, your boundaries, and your sense of control.
Nervous System Regulation: Understanding how your body responds to stress and trauma, and learning tools to help settle, ground, and restore balance.
Somatic & Body-Based Work: Gently reconnecting with bodily sensations to release stored stress and rebuild
internal safety.
Cognitive & Behavioural Tools: Strategies that help shift patterns, interrupt cycles, and create more effective responses.
Performance & Resilience Counselling: Supporting athletes and high performers through pressure, recovery, identity, fear, and the mental demands of competitive environments.
Whole-Person Integrative Care: Your emotional, physical, cognitive, and nervous system wellbeing are linked. We work with all parts of you.
Who I Work With
I support people who are navigating:
Trauma & nervous system
dysregulation: Experiences that feel stuck in the body - fear, shutdown, hypervigilance, looping thoughts, or emotional numbness.
Stress, burnout & chronic
overwhelm: High achievers, caregivers, leaders, and those who spend more time taking care of everyone else than themselves.
Hormonal changes across the
lifespan: Emotional and physical shifts connected to perimenopause, menopause, postpartum changes, or other hormonal transitions that impact mood, identity, and daily functioning.
Fertility-related challenges &
reproductive grief: The emotional weight of trying to conceive, navigating fertility treatments, coping with pregnancy loss, and managing the uncertainty, fear, or sadness that often comes with these experiences.
Anxiety & emotional reactivity: When your system feels “on edge,” when the smallest things feel big, or when relentless worry takes over.
Life transitions: Grief, family changes, relationship shifts, health challenges, or major
personal transitions.
Performance pressure: Athletes, students, entrepreneurs, and professionals managing expectations, fear of failure, identity transitions, or injury recovery.
If you’re unsure whether your experience
fits, you’re welcome here. We can explore it together.
