ABOUT
Empowering Pathways aims to help you to discover your own inner strength and return to being the alchemist and curator of your life. Sometimes we just need a little help to do this. Integrating CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) with a Person-Centred Approach (treating you as a whole person), Empowering Pathways Counselling believes that you have the ability to take control of your own path, find the answers within yourself and feel empowered along the way. This is all within a safe, confidential, non-judgemental environment.
Seeing a therapist is an important step. It can change your life, but you will talk about very personal things, maybe things you’ve never shared before. This can feel scary. I want you to know I won’t judge you and I want you to feel safe and welcome during our sessions. To help you decide if I’m the right therapist for you, I offer a free, no-pressure consultation. You can find more details and info about therapy and my methods on the ‘FAQ’ page. I use different approaches like Person-Centred Psychotherapy, CBT, Counselling, and sometimes spiritual insight.
Meet me
Sessions are about you, but in this day and age it seems that something we’re valuing more and more is human connection. We want to know that we’re not talking to robots or to feel we’re just a clinical case study. For this reason, you can read a little more about me via the drop-down button below, to bring the human to the profession.

For as long as I can remember, I've held space for people who needed it. From a very young age I’ve possessed a gift of profound empathy and intuition, along with an ‘inner knowing’. Toltec shamans refer to this as ‘silent knowledge’. I’ve always known my mission is to help. Now, as a therapist, guiding people towards their highest potential, this work has always been at the heart of who I am. My journey into this wasn't planned, it was a natural evolution. I have realised that no matter how 'put together' someone seems on the outside, their inner world will tell a different story. We all need support, guidance and someone to hold the light for us during times we can't see it ourselves.
I have had my own experiences with overcoming pain, anxiety, doubt and certain obstacles. Moving beyond these shadows is not only possible; it is profoundly healing and empowering. And believe me, life is like a pendulum - the further we swing into one side (the dark) the even more momentum we have to swing back into the other (the light).
People are not something broken that needs to be fixed. Deep down we already know where our pain is stemming from. Deep down we understand how it’s impacting us. We know we need to break free. It’s ok to have help with the how part and the uncovering part... You no longer have to do this alone. I see you.
