About Whitney

As a dedicated therapist, I infuse every session with a passion for fostering genuine growth and healing tailored to each client's unique journey. My approach melds warmth and compassion with unwavering enthusiasm, creating an environment where clients feel valued and understood. This trust paves the way for a strong therapeutic alliance, essential for meaningful transformation.

I hold a deep belief in the inherent goodness of people and am committed to helping clients unearth their inner strengths to facilitate their healing journey. It is truly an honour to support individuals through significant life transitions, providing guidance with a balance of directness and gentleness.

I am particularly keen to work with those ready to engage in deep exploration of their personal histories, working through body memories and addressing maladaptive coping strategies to promote lasting change.

What is the goal of therapy?

Many of us find ourselves stuck in life patterns, relying on coping mechanisms that do not foster happiness or well-being. Often, we push through these challenges without considering the possibility of a more connected and fulfilling existence. Together, we will explore these patterns and work towards understanding the underlying issues that contribute to your struggles. This journey can be both exhilarating and intimidating, but it is through embracing our most authentic selves and fostering meaningful interpersonal connections that we can confront fears and alleviate feelings of helplessness. My goal is to support you in cultivating a balanced and contented life, where you can thrive emotionally and psychologically.
