Counselling Services

Walking alongside you through all seasons of life

Life doesn't always go according to plan. Sometimes we need help processing what has happened.

Sometimes relationships are strained by conflict.
Sometimes we struggle to understand our own emotions. 

Counselling provides a safe and confidential space to explore, reflect and find the best way forward.

Individual Counselling

Sometimes life gets heavy. 

 

You may be experiencing anxiety, grief, loss, uncertainty, difficult transitions, or relationship challenges. Sometimes the transition is necessary and joyous, but it can still be overwhelming and you just need a safe space to reconcile everything that is going on. 


In individual counselling, you will have the space to explore what you're experiencing, figure out the outcome you want,  and develop the opportunities that may be hidden behind all the negative emotions.

 

Your feelings and thoughts will be validated without judgement. You will have a safe space to face uncomfortable realities and start taking positive steps forward. 

Adolescent and Young Adult Counselling

Growing up can feel complicated. Adolescence is a time of great changes and comes with many confusing emotions. Young people face pressures that can sometimes be difficult to express. We provide a safe space where adolescents and young adults can talk openly, develop emotional awareness and learn healthier ways of navigating challenges. 

 

Whether you are dealing with anxiety, self-esteem issues, emotional outbursts or struggling with making friends, we can walk with you as you figure it out. 

Couples' Counselling

Marriage is a gift from God, but sometimes our relationships can become strained and painful. Communication can break down. Conflict can become repetitive. Trust can be damaged. Two people who once felt connected can begin to feel like they are living separate lives. In couples' counselling, you have a structured space to explore what is happening within the relationship and begin working towards healthier connection. 

 

We can work on communication skills and conflict resolution, forgiveness, recovering from betrayal, rebuilding trust and connection and dealing with major life transitions. The goal is not just to end to conflict but to understand what is behind it and how to relate in healthy ways. 

Premarital Counselling

Marriage is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. Sometimes we prepare more for the wedding than the marriage. 

 

Premarital counselling gives couples an opportunity to have important conversations before entering marriage. Some topics that are important to explore include communication, conflict resolution, expectations, finances, family relationships , children and parenting, roles and responsibilities, intimacy and cultural differences. 

Mental Health Awareness Talks

It's my mission to increase awareness of mental health issues and to make mental health easier to talk about. There is a lot of stigma around mental health which can make it hard for some people to seek the help they need.


I provide mental-health awareness talks and presentations for organisations, churches, schools, community groups and other audiences. Sometimes a talk or workshop is the spark that someone needs to seek help.


Topics can be tailored to your audience and may include emotional wellbeing, stress management, anxiety, relationships, resilience, self-awareness and healthy coping skills.
