Everyone experiences events which are stressful, which can impact negatively on our mood and behaviour. It can get increasingly difficult to see the wood for the trees. Counselling can give you a space to see things in perspective and help you to find balance.

I provide a warm, empathic and non-judgmental environment. These qualities and the therapeutic approach together can enable you to explore your presenting issues:
Low self-esteem
Identity issues
Depression
Anxiety
Bereavement & loss
Abuse (including FGM)

It is a collaborative process.

My approach is non-directive and client centred whereby you are in charge of your session which in itself can be empowering. Thus, my role as a counsellor is to accompany you on that journey of self discovery, I am here to walk with you at your own pace and facilitate you in unlocking your potential.

I strongly believe in individual potential for change and growth. It is with this in mind that I will encourage you to come up with your own solutions to your behavioural and/or emotional difficulties. In the process , counselling can help you to find the strength to overcome the difficulties and the feelings that accompany them.

I can offer one-to-one, short to long term therapy tailored to individual’s need in both English or French.

Initial session
The initial session gives the opportunity to ask further questions and ensure that the person-centred approach is suitable for your needs. In this way the assessment is different from a counselling session, however it is a space to see if we can work together.

Tthe introductory session entails exploring what brings you to counselling and what are your expectations, as well as some practical matters such as: discussing of contract, confidentiality,fees, scheduling and cancellation of sessions.

Depending on availability, I can offer discounts to students and clients on low income.
