At Peninsula Counselling, I offer compassionate support to clients dealing with trauma and emotional pain. Using proven methods like EMDR, I help people work through tough memories and create personalized coping strategies.

I help people who are dealing with trauma and emotional pain. Using methods like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), I support clients in processing their past and reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD. My approach is personalized for each individual's needs, providing a safe space to explore feelings and work towards healing and personal growth.

Are childhood wounds holding you back and hurting your sense of self and relationships? Do you feel overwhelmed and alone from traumatic experiences? Are anxiety, self-doubt, regret, and confusion affecting your health and self-esteem? It can feel isolating when others don’t know how to help. Change is possible, and you don’t have to face it alone.

I believe that change and healing are possible for everyone. Together, we will address the root of your distress, break harmful patterns, find hope for the future, and improve your relationship with yourself and others, helping you live the life you want and deserve.

Early relationships influence how we connect with others throughout life. By understanding and healing past attachment issues, we can build a stronger sense of self, leading to healthier and more satisfying relationships with ourselves and those around us.

As a certified EMDR therapist, I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help you heal from trauma. EMDR is a proven method that helps process the effects of traumatic experiences to reduce pain and support healing. With EMDR therapy, we not only address past wounds but also work towards a more fulfilling and healthy relationship with yourself and others.

At Peninsula Counselling, I aim to build a safe and respectful relationship to help uncover issues and support your growth. This will help you let go of old patterns, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and find better ways to handle life's challenges.

I believe that each person knows their own life best. By working together, we can make real and lasting changes. Healing from trauma is personal, and I'm here to offer a safe and supportive environment for you. My approach is based on kindness, understanding, and a dedication to helping you deal with the effects of trauma.

You can make transformative changes in your life. 

I will focus on your unique needs. My goal is to create a safe, respectful, and collaborative environment to help you on your healing journey, allowing for deep and meaningful change..
