Rise From Within Counselling
Many of the men I work with are carrying heavy burdens — grief and loss, trauma, PTSD, addiction, anxiety, depression, or a deep sense of losing purpose. They may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, unsure of how to move forward. My passion is helping men find relief from these struggles, gain clarity, and reconnect with themselves so they can live with more balance, confidence, and meaning.
I hold a Master of Counselling and a Bachelor of Commerce, and I am the co-founder of Rise From Within Counselling. My primary approach is Person-Centred Therapy, providing a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space where clients feel heard and understood. I also draw on a range of evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing, to offer both practical strategies and deeper healing.
I know how difficult it can be to take the first step and open up about what you’re going through. My role is to walk alongside you with empathy and respect, supporting you as you navigate challenges and rediscover your strengths. If you’re ready to explore what’s been holding you back and begin building a stronger, more purposeful life, I would be honoured to support you on that journey.
