Her specialisms are in pre-marital and relationship counselling.

She is also experienced in helping individuals with attachment issues, family conflicts, relationship issues, life transitions, stress, procrastination, perfectionism behaviours, low self-esteem, sleeping problems, depression, anger management issues, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety and phobias, management roles readiness, workplace relationships, people skills, grief and loss, trauma.

She seeks to meet her clients with unconditional positive regard to join them at where they are in a genuine, supportive and nonjudgmental way on their path to healing. She holds and soothes them with relentless empathy in a secure-base therapeutic alliance where clients can feel comfortable to take risks with her as their companion to face their vulnerabilities together. She helps them to see the processes in which they are caught in with their emotions and with other people; reorganise their inner world that makes sense of their lives; find their emotional balance and redirect those processes into new directions.
