Addiction - Counselling Canterbury

I have a special interest and experience with cultural and neuro-diversity, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I tailor my therapeutic approach according to each client's individual needs and wants. Although I mainly draw from person-centered and solution-focused therapy modalities, I often integrate aspects of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Supporting clients to change unhelpful patterns, and find connection and meaning in their life are key aspects of my counselling.

Realign heart & mind–body & soul — For those seeking support with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, relationship issues, big life events and decisions—I offer a holistic-whole-person approach to counselling and coaching that will help you find release from confusion, limiting beliefs, and negative patterns into greater clarity, balance, and peace. My core focus is to help others recover their authentic and essential Self to live a happier, healthier, purpose-driven, and heart-centred life.

I provide a calm and compassionate space where you can pause, reflect, and feel genuinely supported. Together, we can explore challenges such as anxiety, stress, low mood, past trauma, or questions around cultural identity and belonging. Through our work together, my aim is to help deepen your understanding of yourself and support your journey toward healing and meaningful personal growth.
