Meet your Therapist
Hi there, I’m Shirleen
As a trauma-informed counsellor, strategic psychotherapist, and certified hypnotherapist, my work is grounded in compassion, clinical insight, and a deep respect for the emotional complexity of being human.
My journey began in nursing, where I spent years offering hands-on care and witnessing the profound connection between body and mind. Drawn to the deeper emotional threads that shape wellbeing, I later trained in counselling and strategic psychotherapy—seeking practical, goal-focused ways to help people shift out of stuck patterns and into meaningful change.
Today, I blend gentle hypnotherapy with evidence-based counselling approaches to support clients navigating grief, anxiety, depression, perinatal transitions, and recovery from narcissistic abuse or domestic violence. My style is collaborative, intuitive, and tailored to your unique story.
Together, we’ll explore subconscious strengths, reframe limiting beliefs, and experiment with small, sustainable shifts that spark lasting transformation. I believe healing begins with being heard—and that every person holds the power to write a new chapter.
Let me help you find your pen.

My mission is to provide compassionate, trauma-informed counselling that honours the complexity of grief, emotional distress, and identity repair. I offer a safe, inclusive space for women and men to explore their experiences, reconnect with their inner strength, and move toward healing—gently, authentically, and at their own pace. I honour grief in all its forms—loss, transition, diagnosis, identity disruption—as a natural and meaningful part of the human experience.
Through psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, and creative psychoeducation, I support clients navigating depression, anxiety, perinatal transitions, and recovery from narcissistic abuse and domestic violence. Every session is grounded in empathy, emotional safety, and a deep respect for your story.
I believe healing begins when people are met—without judgment, pressure, or agenda—and invited to reclaim agency, reconnect with purpose, and reshape meaning in their lives.
