Individual Counselling
Supporting the Veterinary Community — and Beyond
​
Working in the veterinary field often means giving deeply to others — to animals, clients, and colleagues alike. Over time, this dedication can take a personal toll, leading to stress, emotional fatigue, or a sense of disconnection. I provide counselling services primarily for veterinary professionals, including vets, nurses, technicians, receptionists, and support staff, while also welcoming individuals from all walks of life who are seeking meaningful support and personal growth.
​
My counselling approach is person-centered and strengths-based, grounded in the belief that each person already holds valuable resources and insights to support their own wellbeing. Together, we build on these strengths to help you move toward positive and sustainable change.
​
I draw from a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including:
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – to understand and reframe unhelpful thought patterns
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – to help you live in alignment with your values
-
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) - to help regulate emotions and strengthen relationships
Through our work together, we may focus on goals such as:
-
Managing workplace stress and emotional demands
-
Navigating compassion fatigue or burnout
-
Strengthening resilience and self-compassion
-
Reconnecting with purpose and meaning in your work and life
-
Finding balance and fulfilment beyond professional roles
This is a confidential, supportive space where you can feel understood and valued — a place to reflect, heal, and grow. Whether you work within the veterinary community or come from another background, you deserve care and support that honours your experiences and helps you move forward with confidence.
Couples / Marriage Counselling
Rebuilding Connection, Understanding, and Trust
Every relationship experiences challenges. Over time, communication can break down, misunderstandings can grow, and the closeness that once came easily may begin to feel out of reach. Couples counselling provides a safe and supportive space to explore these challenges together and strengthen your relationship from a place of respect, curiosity, and care.
I work with couples using the Gottman Method, a research-based approach that focuses on enhancing communication, deepening friendship and intimacy, and managing conflict in healthy, constructive ways. Together, we’ll identify patterns that may be creating distance or tension, and develop practical tools to build a stronger, more resilient partnership.
​
In our sessions, we may work toward goals such as:
-
Improving communication and conflict resolution
-
Rebuilding trust and emotional connection
-
Deepening friendship, intimacy, and shared meaning
-
Understanding and supporting one another’s needs and perspectives
-
Strengthening your foundation for lasting relationship satisfaction
Couples counselling isn’t about assigning blame — it’s about rediscovering how to work as a team. Whether you’re navigating a period of disconnection, adjusting to life transitions, or simply wanting to nurture your relationship, this is a space to slow down, listen, and reconnect.
Formal Psychological Assessments
Formal psychological assessment can provide valuable insights into how you think, feel, and function day to day. Assessments are often an important step toward understanding challenges, identifying strengths, and guiding effective support or treatment.
I offer comprehensive psychological assessments for a range of concerns, using evidence-based tools and methods to ensure accurate and meaningful results. Each assessment is tailored to your individual needs and may explore areas such as:
-
Cognitive and intellectual functioning
-
Attention and executive functioning (e.g. ADHD)
-
Learning difficulties or strengths
-
Emotional wellbeing and mood
-
Personality and coping patterns
Assessments involve a combination of interviews, questionnaires, and standardized testing. Following the assessment, you’ll receive a detailed report and feedback session, providing clear, practical recommendations to support your wellbeing, personal growth, or ongoing care.
​
Whether you’re seeking greater self-understanding, clarity about a specific concern, or guidance to support learning or workplace needs, a psychological assessment can help bring the pieces together — offering insight, direction, and a path forward.
Grief and Loss Workshops
Did you know there are over 43 types of loss in the scientific literature?
​
As a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist, I am able to offer workshops on grief and loss. These are standardized, action-based workshops that are evidence-based to help you overcome unresolved grief. The standardized program can also be offered to individuals over the course of seven to eight weeks.
See our Events page for upcoming workshops.

Pssst....there are no "five stages of grief". If only grief were that linear and predictable...but it IS possible to "grieve well".
