My journey into counselling started with myself.
My journey into counselling started with myself.
Before becoming a mental health therapist, I went through a period of burnout, self-doubt, and feeling guilty for not being or doing enough. I questioned my capabilities, second-guessed myself, and often felt like I was getting in my own way. Deep down, I knew there was more I wanted for myself, but a part of me struggled to believe I was capable of it, or even deserved it.
It was a lonely journey. I spent a lot of time trying to make sense of what I was feeling and why I kept holding myself back. I didn't always know where to turn or how to work through what was going on inside.
But somewhere beneath all that doubt, there was still a part of me that believed I could become more than who I was at the time. I wanted to understand what was getting in the way.
That curiosity led me to counselling.

Through this journey, I became increasingly interested in how we see ourselves, the beliefs we carry, and the experiences that shape the way we navigate life. I began to appreciate that sometimes, what holds us back isn't a lack of ability, but the difficulty of recognising our own worth and potential.
Today, this is part of what draws me to counselling. I believe there is more to each of us than what we sometimes allow ourselves to see. And while I won't pretend to have all the answers, I hope to offer a space where you can slow down, make sense of what you're going through, and explore what might be possible for you.
You don't have to figure everything out on your own. Sometimes, having the space to feel heard, ask difficult questions, and see yourself from a different perspective can be a place to begin.
There's more to you than you sometimes see in yourself.

A little irony, perhaps?

I'm still working in the corporate world while practising counselling. While one involves project timelines and business requirements, the other focuses on the more personal side of being human. But perhaps the two aren't as different as they seem.
Behind work deadlines and responsibilities are people navigating expectations, uncertainty, relationships, and their own wellbeing. Having spent years in the corporate world myself, I understand that what we experience at work doesn't always stay at work. It can affect how we feel, how we see ourselves, and how we show up in other parts of our lives.
I think this perspective helps me see the person beyond the problem, and appreciate the many things that may be shaping what someone is going through.
