Currently accepting new clients.  

Hi I’m Ona, I'm an integrative counsellor that has extensive experience of supporting clients  with issues such as as  mental health and well-being, trauma, neuro diversity, chronic illness/obesity, disabilities,  bereavement, domestic abuse and relationship difficulties. 

Its not uncommon to  feel anxious or depressed  because of your mental health and well-being? Or be  experiencing  challenges and want  a space to talk? If  this is you, you’re not alone. I understand  it can be hard to identify the right counsellor that you can trust— to help you feel safe and supported to be yourself while feeling seen and heard.

Negative experiences form part of our  collective human experience that can leave you feeling confused at times  but until you decide to get the help  needed you may continue to feel stuck. Counselling can help you make sense of it all and support mental clarity in your life.

My background in  the public sector and advocacy means that  I have a rich and diverse understanding of a range of clients. I understand that therapy still carries a stigma especially within diverse communities that can make seeking support difficult. However, I believe that  compassionate and integrative based interventions can help you move away from shame and self criticism while supporting and empowering you towards self compassion, self acceptance and self-forgiveness as well as building resilience and greater awareness.  Enabling you to be your  authentic self.

I offer a confidential space to talk, feel contained and share your most intimate thoughts and feelings. I also provide  practical tools to help you find solutions to your problems and navigate life at a pace right for you. 

If you feel that we would be a great fit to work together, text, call, or email for your FREE 20-minute consultation.

 Clients have described my practice as an,

'Amazing experience that really helped me to move through my issues and find solutions and techniques to help me. Ona was an excellent therapist and I am very grateful for this'

You can expect me to use an ethical framework that builds trust, integrity, active listening and communication  which are foundational principles and building blocks for an effective therapeutic relationship. 

Our first session together  involves me  asking questions to learn more about you  and your background and to discuss your expectations of therapy, any previous experience if at all any and your goals for counselling. It is ok to not know what you want and need to talk about  as the therapeutic space can support and empower you to  make sense of this.

We’ll also explore how I can best support you and consider how many sessions you may need initially and review the work undertaken  periodically. This session is also a great opportunity for you to ask questions and for me to explain  boundaries and contracting which informs the way we will work together in our sessions.
