Welcome.

Please make yourself comfortable while you get to know me.

Considering therapy or supervision?

Higher demands.  Stress at work and home.  Health care, mental health and education systems under strain.  

Professionals who work within these fields know that things have changed in the past few years.

No, you did not ‘sign up for this’ when you spent years training.   

I provide specialised therapy and supervision for unique groups of people. 

Have a look to see if we might be a good fit.

Professional Women

Many of us shouldered huge demands in the last years and are now left with a lot of unprocessed emotions and questions. This is especially true of women in health care, mental health, education and leadership roles.

2SLGBTQIA+ Professionals

I bring decades of lived experience, advocacy, training and passion to my work with the 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. We see the world from a different perspective and I believe that is a strength to be celebrated.

CLINICAL SUPERVISION

There is an art and a science to good supervision.  If you are interested in supervision that is focused heavily on the  supervisee’s needs, is more process than theory driven and meets CRPO requirements for Clinical Supervision, I invite you to have a look around.

Who am I and what do I stand for?

I bring decades of practice along with my own (sometimes messy) lived experience to the table. You get a warm, zero judgement, no BS, occasionally sweary, very committed therapist who will work with YOU.

How to find the right therapist

Finding the right therapist is more important than picking one from a website.  Ethical, competent care is essential for your mental health – the therapist/client relationship can make you feel pretty vulnerable.
