Mental health counselling grounded in curiosity, compassion, and understanding - not pathology.

You Make Sense

My work is grounded in a deep respect for cognitive diversity and a belief that every person has a unique operating system, the individual way we process information, make sense of experiences, communicate, relate to others, regulate emotions, solve problems, and navigate the world. I believe our thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and relationship patterns can only truly be understood within the context of our neurotype, our relationships, our environments, and our lived experiences.

That perspective shapes everything I do as a therapist. Rather than asking, “What’s wrong with you?” I’m interested in understanding how your unique way of thinking, experiencing, and relating has developed, what has happened to you, what has helped you survive, the strengths you already possess, and what might help you move forward in ways that feel authentic, connected, and sustainable.

Working Together

I believe the best therapy happens within a collaborative relationship built on trust, curiosity, and mutual respect. My role is not to offer ready-made answers, but to help you make sense of your experiences, deepen your understanding of yourself, and discover what works for you.

My practice is both neurodiversity-affirming and 2SLGBTQI+-affirming. I don’t assume there’s a single “right” way to think, communicate, learn, relate, or experience the world. Instead, I recognise that every person brings a unique combination of strengths, challenges, identities, relationships, and lived experiences that deserve to be understood within their own context, not measured against someone else’s expectations.

Over the years, I’ve come to believe that many of the struggles people bring to therapy are not signs that something is wrong with them, but understandable responses to the lives they’ve lived, the relationships they’ve experienced, and the environments they’ve had to navigate. When we understand ourselves in context, self-criticism often gives way to curiosity, self-compassion, and new possibilities.

My work is grounded in person-centred principles and draws thoughtfully from attachment theory, relational therapy, humanistic psychology, and other evidence-informed approaches. Where helpful, I also draw on neuroscience, developmental psychology, and evolutionary psychology to deepen our understanding of why we think, feel, and relate in the ways we do.

Some sessions focus on understanding long-standing patterns and relationships. Others are practical and solution-focused, helping you navigate communication, boundaries, emotional regulation, executive functioning, life transitions, or relationship challenges. Together, we balance deeper understanding with practical, meaningful, and lasting change.

I consider it a privilege to walk alongside people as they make sense of their experiences, strengthen their relationships, reconnect with themselves, and build lives that reflect who they are, rather than who they have felt pressured to become.
