Online Counselling

for Individuals and Couples

Welcome

I offer counselling for life transitions to help you navigate challenges and changes with confidence and support.

I know that reaching out for support can feel like a big step, but I’m really glad you’re here. Life can feel overwhelming sometimes—whether you’re navigating a transition, experiencing relationship challenges, or feeling emotionally stuck, it doesn’t have to stay this way.

You don’t need to go through this alone. I’m here to listen, support, and help you find a path forward.

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to emotional wellbeing. Sometimes, it’s individual challenges—like anxiety, stress, or personal growth—that bring people to therapy. Other times, it’s the dynamics of relationships that feel too complicated to untangle alone. And for some, coaching provides a way to move from stuck patterns toward the changes they’ve been wanting to make.

Whether you’re looking for personal support, relationship guidance, or help creating meaningful changes, I offer three key services to meet your needs:

Individual Counselling

Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Counselling for life’s transitions offers a compassionate space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, or seeking personal growth, we work together to help you gain clarity, build resilience, and create meaningful change.

Couples Counselling

Every relationship faces challenges, especially during significant life transitions. Couples therapy provides a safe, neutral space to improve communication, rebuild trust, and deepen your connection. Whether you’re navigating conflict, healing from past hurts, or simply wanting to strengthen your bond, we work together to foster understanding and create lasting change.

Individual Coaching

Coaching is designed to help you break through barriers, set actionable goals, and build the life you desire. Whether you’re navigating career changes, striving for a healthier lifestyle, or seeking to boost your confidence, coaching provides structured support and guidance through life transitions to unlock your full potential and move forward with clarity and purpose.

My Approach

I understand that choosing the right counsellor or coach can feel daunting. You want someone with the right experience—someone who truly understands where you’re coming from, especially if you are going through life transitions.

I take a holistic approach to counselling and coaching, which means we’ll explore how your emotions, relationships, and lifestyle all connect. This isn’t just about one part of your life; it’s about looking at the bigger picture.

In our sessions, I bring a mix of empathy, active listening, and practical strategies to help you move forward. Using evidence-based techniques—like emotionally focused therapy and trauma-informed strategies—we’ll explore what’s holding you back and how to create meaningful change. Whether you’re here to process emotions, rebuild relationships, or gain clarity on your next steps, we’ll work together at your pace.

My Expertise

Life Transitions & Adjustments

Major life changes—such as starting a new career, ending a relationship, or navigating parenthood—can bring up a mix of emotions, leaving you feeling uncertain and out of balance. Together, we’ll create a supportive space to help you process these transitions, gain clarity, and develop coping strategies to move forward with confidence and ease.

Grief & Loss

Grief is one of life’s most difficult experiences, and everyone’s journey through it is unique. Whether you’ve experienced the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or another significant change, I’m here to provide a compassionate space to process your feelings. We’ll honor your experience and work through the pain at your own pace, building resilience and eventually finding ways to carry forward meaning and hope when you’re ready.

Parenting Support

Parenting can be one of the most rewarding yet challenging roles in life. Whether you’re navigating the early years, dealing with teen transitions, or managing adult children, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or unsure of your next steps. Together, we’ll explore your unique family dynamics and create strategies to strengthen communication, set healthy boundaries, and build positive connections. My approach is non-judgmental and supportive, providing you with the guidance and tools you need to parent with confidence and resilience.

Stress, Anxiety & Depression

When stress, anxiety, or depression take hold, it can feel isolating and overwhelming. These emotions can affect every aspect of your life, making it hard to see a way forward. In our sessions, we’ll work together to explore the root causes, identify patterns, and develop practical strategies to help you manage these feelings. My approach is compassionate, holistic, and tailored to your unique experience, helping you find relief, build resilience, and reclaim a sense of calm and control.

Couples Counselling

Even the strongest relationships go through difficult times. Whether you’re facing ongoing conflict, a lack of intimacy, or feeling disconnected from your partner, couples counselling can help you rebuild your bond. In our sessions, we’ll focus on improving communication, understanding each other’s needs, and developing tools to manage conflict in a healthy way. My goal is to create a safe space where you can work together to strengthen your partnership and rediscover the joy in your relationship.

Family Dynamics and Conflict

Family relationships can be complicated. Whether you’re navigating conflicts between parents and children, sibling dynamics, or tension between extended family members, I’ll help you explore these dynamics, improve communication, and find healthier ways to move forward.

What’s the Difference Between Counselling and Coaching?

Counselling focuses on emotional healing and mental wellbeing. It’s often helpful when you’re struggling with challenges like anxiety, stress, grief, relationship difficulties, or emotional overwhelm. Counselling provides a safe space to explore your feelings, process past experiences, and develop healthier ways of coping.

It’s ideal if you’re looking for emotional support to understand the deeper roots of your challenges and improve your mental wellbeing.

Coaching focuses on personal growth, future goals, and creating change. It’s action-oriented and helps you develop strategies to overcome obstacles, build new habits, and reach your personal or professional goals. Coaching sessions are forward-focused, encouraging progress and accountability.

It’s ideal if you’re ready to make positive changes in specific areas of your life, such as career transitions, personal development, or relationships.


How do I know which service is right for me?
  • If you’re struggling with emotional distress (like anxiety, grief, or relationship struggles), counseling may be the best fit.
  • If you’re ready to take action toward achieving personal or professional goals, coaching might be the way to go.
  • Many clients benefit from a combination of both approaches. In our initial consultation, we can discuss what feels right for you.

Can I switch between counselling and coaching?

Yes! Many people find that both counselling and coaching can be valuable at different stages. For example, you might start with counseling to process emotions and later move into coaching to work toward future goals. We can tailor our work together to meet your changing needs.
