Services

 

 

 

 

 

 

I offer counselling for adults who need a slower, softer, sensory‑aware therapeutic space. My work is grounded in trauma‑informed, neuroaffirming, and person‑centred approaches, with the option to integrate art‑based therapeutic processes when it feels supportive.

You don’t need to be “artistic” - creative processes simply offer another way to explore your inner world when words feel tight or out of reach.

What I offer​

A quiet, grounding space to explore your inner world at a pace your nervous system can hold. Sessions are relational, gentle, and attuned to sensory needs.

Counselling may support you with:

  • burnout and overwhelm

  • late‑identified neurodivergence

  • masking fatigue

  • identity confusion or loss

  • creative disconnection

  • relational trauma

  • emotional shutdown or numbness

 

Sessions may include talking, art‑based exploration, grounding practices, or simply sitting with what’s present.

 

Art-Based Therapeutic Processes (optional)

For clients who feel drawn to creative exploration, I offer gentle, sensory‑aware art‑based processes informed by my training in art therapy. These can help you:

  • express what feels hard to say

  • connect with your inner world

  • regulate your nervous system

  • explore identity and emotion

  • access deeper layers of meaning

These processes are always optional and guided by your comfort and pacing.

 

What you might seek support for

  • Trauma and complex PTSD

  • Late-identified neurodivergence (ADHD, autism)

  • Anxiety, depression, burnout

  • Emotional regulation

  • Identity and self-understanding

  • Life transitions

  • Grief and loss

  • Relationships

  • Addictions 

  • Sensory and executive functioning challenges

 

My approach

My work is:

  • Trauma‑informed

  • Neuroaffirming

  • Person‑centred

  • Integrative

  • Sensory‑aware

  • Slow, gentle, and relational

 

You don’t need to arrive with a plan. You don’t need to be “ready.” You don’t need to know what to say.

We move at your pace - always.
