Hi! I’m Zoë

My favourite thing about myself would have to be my curiosity - which might explain why I love to travel so much - however, I believe it is the trait that allows me to connect so deeply with others. I have not stumbled into this profession by accident! I have been fascinated by behaviour and the way people think for as long as I can remember. Outside of our sessions, I love to go to hot yoga classes, read fiction (currently reading the ACOTAR series), play the odd round of golf, and have deep life chats with my best friends. Above all else, and as previously mentioned, my favourite thing to do is travel and be near the ocean! 

Having experienced betrayal, infidelity, and heartbreak myself, I feel privileged to be able to support others who are going through something similar. I understand the confusion, grief, and anger that often accompany such experiences. Feeling overwhelmed by the what ifs, the comparison, and the absolute blow to your sense of self-worth and confidence can be such a heavy load to carry and I would like to assure you that you do not need to carry it alone.  

As traumatic as it is to go through something like that, I do believe there is not only a way to heal, but a way to come out on “the other side” with a better understanding of yourself and the world, if you give yourself the chance to explore that. I take a person-centred, trauma informed approach to give clients a safe space to tell their story, be validated, and feel seen. 

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying) with the CRPO, a member of the CCPA with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology degree. I have additional trainings and certifications in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples counselling. I have also found using somatic practices and focusing on nervous system regulation to be particularly helpful for clients who are processing trauma and I often use mindfulness based cognitive therapy (MBCT) with clients in sessions.
