Let’s take a moment together. I’ll pour you a warm cup of tea or coffee—and we’ll simply talk.
Therapy doesn’t have to feel overwhelming, scary, or clinical. Life already brings enough challenges. This space is meant to feel safe, soft, and supportive—a place where you can breathe a little easier and be met with kindness, not judgment.
I’m here to walk beside you as you move through the pain, confusion, or conflict you may be facing. Whether it’s grief, anxiety, relationship struggles, or unresolved trauma—especially from narcissistic abuse—you don’t have to face it alone. Together, we can work toward clarity, healing, and the changes you want to make in your life, at a pace that feels right for you.
If you’re grieving a loss—whether recent or long ago—and find yourself overwhelmed with emotions that don’t seem to make sense, please know this: your experience is valid, and support is available.
If you’re trying to mend a relationship, communicate more lovingly with your partner, reduce tension with family, or make peace with someone who has hurt you deeply, this is a space where we can begin that journey.
And if you’ve been affected by narcissistic abuse, struggling with the deep confusion, self-doubt, and emotional pain it often leaves behind, I see you. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it in isolation.
I invite you to connect for a free 20-minute phone or video consultation. This meet-and-greet is simply a gentle way for us to get to introduce ourselves and for you to share a little on what you hope to acheive from counselling. We’ll explore how sessions might feel, answer any questions you have on the counselling process, and see if we’re a good fit.
I offer both in-person and online sessions—weekdays, evenings, and some weekends—because your healing shouldn’t have to fit into a rigid schedule. You can book easily through my website, anytime, day or night.
Visit www.nurturemecounselling.com to find a time that works for you. Let’s begin the process of finding your way back to peace, strength, and self.
You deserve to feel well again. I’m here when you’re ready.

Approach Description: I work in a genuine, down-to-earth way—bringing my full self into the therapy space. That means I may laugh with you, sit with your tears, and gently help you explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck in pain or difficulty. My approach is shaped by my own healing journey, including working through trauma, navigating the deep grief of losing both my parents, and learning how to show up more openly and compassionately in my own relationships.
