Heart-centredcounselling for children, teens & parents.
I am passionate about bringing families together- helping parents understandtheir children and guiding children toward deeper self-awareness. Counsellingfor me is not about 'fixing' or just talking; it is about reconnecting with thebody, breaking generational patterns, and embracing healing in a holisticway.
As an integrative, trauma-focused child and adolescent counsellor, I believethat healing happens when we reconnect with ourselves—emotionally, physically,and energetically.
My work supports children, teenagers, and adults in understanding theirfeelings, processing stuck emotions, and breaking free from unhealthy thoughtand behaviour patterns. Many of my clients grown up in high-pressureenvironments (military, medical, academic families) and struggle withdepression, anxiety, self-harm, lack of belonging, low self-esteem, issues withself-worth and boundaries, people-pleasing, relational trauma, perfectionism,anger, self-abandonment.
I specialise in attachment work, inner child healing, and relational trauma,offering individual therapy, joint parent-child sessions, and parentalconsultations. My goal is to provide a supportive space where collaborativelywith the client we work through family wounds and difficult parent-childdynamics, make sense of their physical and emotional pain and find a path toease and emotional safety. We also focus on developing self-compassion so theycan feel more at home in themselves and their body.
My approach blends integrative and humanistic approaches with inner child work,parts work, art & play therapy, awareness of systemic work,psycho-education as well as mindfulness, breath and energy work. My work isrooted in the mind-body connection and it is not about fixing you because youare not broken but guiding you towards greater self-awareness, empowerment, andemotional mastery.
