My Counselling Philosophy
Collaboration
Safety and Trust

Safety and Trust
Creating a foundation of safety and trust is essential in my work. I strive to cultivate an environment where you can explore even the most vulnerable parts of your experiences without fear of judgment or pressure. Safety is not just about emotional comfort, but about recognizing each client's need to feel secure in their body, boundaries, and identity.
