HOW I WORK

Transience — therapy with you, for change, loss and becoming

For all that shifts, all that stays, and all that heals.

At Transience, I offer trauma‑informed counselling for adolescents, young adults, and adults. My work is grounded in a deeply integrated therapeutic framework, informed by over a decade of practice across counselling, education, student wellbeing, advocacy, and community-based settings. Alongside this breadth of experience, I hold a strong professional interest and commitment to trauma-informed practice, particularly in understanding how trauma, grief, and adversity shape identity, relationships, and meaning over time.

I draw from:

  • Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET)

  • Trauma-informed and attachment-oriented therapy

  • Person-centered and humanistic counselling

  • Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) informed

  • Existential and meaning-focused approaches

  • Narrative therapy

  • Somatic and body-based awareness

  • Expressive and creative practices

  • Gestalt-informed relational work

  • Feminist and social-justice-informed perspectives

  • LGBTQIA+ affirmative practice

  • Transcultural mental health perspectives

Rather than applying techniques in isolation, these approaches are integrated responsively, allowing therapy to meet what is emerging in the moment. Sessions may involve conversation, reflective silence, gentle body awareness, creative expression, or making sense of lived experience over time.

Therapy is offered as a space to gently explore what has been held in the body, emotions, and meaning‑making, without pressure to disclose or relive experiences before you are ready. I offer transcultural mental health-informed care, respecting cultural contexts, identity, and lived experience.

You remain in control of the therapeutic process at all times. Consent, choice, and collaboration are central to the work. Sessions are available via telehealth or virtual platforms, offering accessibility and flexibility that extends the reach and impact of therapy.
