My passion in counselling started at 7 years ago while I started my bachelor degree in Counselling & Psychology. My greatest gift of what psychology brought me is promoting my self-awareness which leading me understanding the importance of psychotherapy in life. My goals is for us to work together to unveil the presenting psychological pain and reconnect with our own inner peace.

I attach importance to self-awareness in my practice. Through proper psycho-education and building a secure therapeutic relationship, I provide safe room for deeper self-exploration, awareness and acceptance, so that person can empower themselves by new insights after integrate their past and present, and experience freedom in making conscious life choices.

My therapeutic relationships are based on a holistic understanding of where someone is at, clear objectives, and an honest, strong commitment to working towards change.

I see therapy as lighting up the inner light in our deepest being, which is our inner strength, wisdom and source of healing, to guide us through troubles and conflicts. My goal is for us to work together to gain new insight which becomes a stabilising anchor that eventually heals and empowers yourself.

I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
