01 // INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING

[Individual Counselling] focuses on living authentically human by exploring and embracing your true self, where we navigate the challenges of self-discovery, self-acceptance, and personal growth. My goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore values, beliefs, desires, and passions to empower living in alignment. Through introspection, reflection, and self-awareness exercises, we can work together to uncover your true identity, identify and challenge internalized expectations, and cultivate a sense of self-worth and self-compassion. Our journey together is aimed at empowering living in alignment with your authentic self, leading to a more fulfilling and purpose-driven life where there is increased mind-body connection, satisfaction, improved relationships, and a deeper sense of meaning and fulfillment in your human experience.

02 // ATHLETIC & PERFORMANCE COACHING

[Athletic & Performance Coaching] focuses on helping athletes. coaches, and teams reach their full potential and find their flow state. The aim is to provide guidance, support, and strategies to enhance performance, develop mental toughness, and optimize overall well-being. Through personalized plans, performance analysis, and mindset techniques, we work together to enhance skills and focus, overcome obstacles, and perform under pressure. By addressing both physical and mental aspects of performance, we can lean into untapped potential, maximize performance, and achieve extraordinary results.

03 // COUPLES COUNSELLING

[Couples Counselling] provides a safe and neutral space for partners to address their issues, enhance communication, and strengthen their connection. Whether dealing with conflict, trust issues, or communication breakdowns, the goal is to explore emotions, understand each other’s perspectives, and develop healthier patterns of interaction.
