Special Interest Areas
Tailored Support for Life’s Unique Challenges
Supporting Expats through Life Adjustments
Relocating to a new country can be both exciting and overwhelming. I provide guidance and support for expats navigating cultural adjustments, homesickness, and the emotional challenges of moving abroad.
Guidance for Young Adults in their 20s
The 20s are a time of self-discovery, full of new responsibilities and decisions. I specialise in counselling young adults on relationship challenges, career paths, and personal development during this crucial decade.
High School-Related Issues, including Self-Esteem and Academic Stress
Teenagers face a variety of challenges, from academic pressure to self-esteem issues. I specialise in supporting teens through high school-related stress, identity development, and building confidence.
Managing Relationship Challenges
Relationships can be a source of joy but also stress and conflict. I provide guidance on improving communication, setting healthy boundaries, and navigating relationship difficulties, whether in friendships, family, or romantic partnerships.
Managing Anxiety, Imposter Syndrome, and Grief & Loss
Emotional challenges like anxiety, feelings of imposter syndrome, and grief can feel overwhelming. I offer a supportive space to explore these emotions, develop effective coping strategies, and regain a sense of well-being during difficult times.
