About Me
Welcome. I'm a qualified counsellor with specialised expertise in addiction recovery and mental health support. My journey into this field stems from both professional training and a deep, personal understanding of recovery processes.
Having worked extensively within mental health settings, I've witnessed first-hand the courage it takes to seek help and the transformative power of the right support at the right time. I understand that recovery isn't linear—it's a unique path for each individual.

Core Values
No Judgement
Your past doesn't define your future. I believe that everyone deserves compassion and understanding, regardless of what has brought them to seek support. In our sessions, you'll find a safe space where you can be completely honest about your struggles, setbacks, and fears without worrying about being judged or criticised.
Individual Focus
Every person's story and needs are unique. What works for one person may not work for another, which is why I tailor my approach to fit your specific circumstances, goals, and pace of healing. Whether you're just beginning to consider change or you're well into your recovery journey, I'll meet you exactly where you are.
Hope and Healing
Recovery is possible, and you don't have to do it alone. Even in your darkest moments, there is always potential for growth, healing, and positive change. I'm here to walk alongside you, offering support, practical tools, and the belief in your ability to create the life you want—especially when it's hard to believe in yourself.
