About me

Like many people, life has been hard, I've lived through stress, struggle, and moments of deep uncertainty and pain. Over time, I found my own way through learning to meet life with awareness, compassion, resilience and a shift in mindset. That journey inspired me to become a counsellor. I now work alongside clients as they reconnect with their inner strength, rediscover who they are, and move forward with greater clarity, courage and self-compassion. I offer a safe, supportive space where you are heard, respected, and encouraged to explore at your own pace. My approach is collaborative, flexible, and grounded in pluralistic philosophy, meaning we work together to find what suits you best. At Silver Lining Therapy, I take a holistic approach informed by empathy, curiosity and insight. I use Mind Shift Therapy, a gentle and empowering way of working that supports clients in moving from anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional overwhelm toward greater calm, clarity, and self-understanding. This approach blends mindfulness, emotional awareness, and practical tools to support lasting inner change. I believe that everyone's healing journey is unique. Drawing from a range of therapeutic models, including person-centred, psychodynamic, cognitive, somatic and creative approaches. I tailor our work to what feels most helpful for you in the moment. Together we co-create a therapeutic path that reflects your individual story and what you feel ready to explore.
