Do you constantly put others first and feel invisible in your own life? I help you identify where your boundaries have collapsed, understand why — and rebuild them in a way that feels authentic, not aggressive. This is about reclaiming your voice, your needs, and your right to take up space.
Trauma changes the way you see yourself and the world. Using trauma-informed approaches including CBT and EFT, I help you process what happened, reduce its hold over your present, and slowly rebuild a sense of safety — in your body and your life.
Grief doesn't follow a timeline, and it doesn't only look like tears. Whether you've lost a person, a relationship, an identity, or a future you imagined — I offer a space to carry it without being alone in it. I also have specialist experience supporting couples navigating the loss of a child.
Leaving — or surviving — domestic violence is one of the most courageous things a person can do. I provide trauma-informed, non-judgemental support to help you understand what happened, process the impact, and find your footing again on your own terms.
Gambling often masks something deeper — anxiety, numbness, the need for escape or control. I work with both individuals affected by gambling and the family members carrying the impact alongside them. My approach is compassionate, evidence-based, and free of shame.
When a relationship is under strain, it's rarely about the argument on the surface. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help couples understand the cycle pulling them apart — and begin to reach for each other differently. Couples sessions are available in English and Arabic.
Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply not like yourself — counselling can help you make sense of what's happening and find a path forward. I also have experience supporting immigrants, career changers, and anyone navigating a major life shift.
