Welcome to Emergence Counselling & Therapy

IMPORTANT NOTICE - I am only seeing clients online and by phone until further notice.

I would like to begin by commending you for taking the time to consider reaching out for support with the struggles which have led you to my site.

Many of us seek therapy during times of crisis, during times of transition or when we simply feel ‘stuck’ in patterns which we know are undermining our true potential in life. My studies and my professional experience have taught me that these periods of challenge can also be an invaluable opportunity for new and vital aspects of the self to emerge. My primary goal as a therapist is to work together with you to help you to emerge from your current situation with a renewed sense of hope, connection, self-knowledge and direction.
