Counselling
for expats
Individuals
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting–
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

Wild Geese - Mary Oliver
Counselling provides a safe space where you can explore your issues or concerns with the support of a trained professional. You can look for solutions and develop coping mechanisms, whilst gaining a better understanding of yourself and others. My goal is to support you to move beyond surviving, to refind your inherent ability to thrive and flourish.
Gentle, compassionate support.
trauma-informed
Many of us carry trauma from past experiences; together, we can gently explore these influences and adjust coping mechanisms that no longer serve you, following your unique rhythm.
embodied
I believe clients have inherent wisdom about their feelings, and I help you tune into your body and nervous system for healing. My work incorporates embodied approaches and I'm training to become a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. ​My goal is to welcome you as a whole; from listening to the whispers of the nervous system to exploring how your cultural background and the society we live in inform your identity and life.
compassionate
Sometimes it is hardest to find compassion for ourselves and shame and self-criticism can further exacerbate our suffering. I also emphasize self-compassion, which is essential for resilience and personal growth. ​
