Therapy & Coaching
-
I work with individuals and couples across a broad range of identity and relationship contexts. They might be partnered, single, polyamorous or processing a recent separation/breakup.
Clients often see me for support with:
Sexual and emotional intimacy
Connecting more authentically
Bridging communication
Dating in the modern world
Boundary setting
Learning healthy compromise (instead of self-sacrificing)
Loneliness and social isolation
Long-distance and FIFO relationships
Understanding their sexuality and sexual orientation (LGBTQIA+)
Mastering how “conflict and repair” is handled in their relationship
Gender identity and navigating a social and/or medical gender transition
Open relationships, polyamory and ethical non-monogamy
Kink and sexual exploration
Healing from betrayal or infidelity
Sexual difficulties such as vaginismus, dyspareunia, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation
Mismatched libidos
I am a talk therapist which means sessions do not involve any form of physical touch. For any medical or physical issues I refer clients on accordingly, such as to their GP, a pelvic floor physiotherapist, gynaecologist etc.

I support high-masking autistic and ADHD individuals and couples in their journey of understanding their neurodivergence more deeply. You might be late-diagnosed, self-identifying or anywhere along the assessment process. Or maybe you’re the partner of someone embarking on this self-discovery later in life and you’re figuring out how to come along in that journey with them.
Clients often see me for support with:
Processing their recent ADHD and/or autism diagnosis
Self-regulation
Unmasking safely
Feeling misunderstood, unseen and unheard in relationships
People-pleasing patterns
Burnout, skills regression and recovery
Building self-esteem and confidence
Rejection sensitivity (RSD)
Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA)
Identifying and communicating their support needs
Establishing accomodations in the workplace
Navigating executive dysfunction, time blindness, transitions, shutdowns, task paralysis and other neurodivergent experiences that can cause misunderstandings in relationships
Bridging communication, connection and intimacy differences in relationships
I believe in honouring the unique ways each individual prefers to make meaning of themselves, the world and their relationships. I do this by meeting the client where they’re at and figuring out together what they uniquely need by using direct and clear communication. I see therapy as a collaborative process that is guided by the client’s specific goals and focuses. These often evolve and change over time, so I make sure to check in and encourage feedback along the way.

Life exists in seasons, so when transitioning from one chapter to the next, we all need support. Through a hybrid of coaching and therapy, I guide clients in expanding their emotional capacity to hold themselves through life’s uncertainties, challenges and the many choices being an adult requires us all to make.
Clients often see me for support with:
Connecting to who they truly are and shedding expectations of who they’ve been told they “should” be
Getting clear on their core values and “bigger picture” in life
Communicating and expressing themselves authentically and effectively
Exploring their ideal career or lifestyle
Defining and connecting to purpose
Building a life that supports and celebrates who they are
Mapping out actionable steps towards achieving their goals

My original training was in Narrative Therapist (you can read more about this in my FAQS) and I was previously a journalist, so I’ve always naturally brought a curiosity and open-mindedness to the way I work.
There’s no one-size-fits-all way to do life or relationships, and so I consider my job to be helping others find out what their ideal is then map out the steps to build towards it - with courage and compromise. We don’t aim for perfect, we embrace “good enough”. This is a mindset I bring to all sessions with my clients, no matter what they come to therapy for.
The world and our upbringings already place endless expectations on us about who we “should” be, and so the foundation of most of my work with clients is releasing these expectations and connecting back in with themselves.
Therapy is about holding space to fully feel your feelings and deeply reflect (process the past and learn how to be in the present). Coaching is about applying that self-awareness into action steps to create the life you desire (future-focused).
I combine therapy and coaching in a way that is:
Action-oriented
Tailored to the individual or couple’s needs, pace and goals
Feelings-first (we can’t direct our life authentically if we’re not honest and attuned to how we feel)
Collaborative (you are the expert in your own life, consider me merely a catalyst for change)
Purpose and meaning driven
