The Person Behind the Practice
“I have been where you are. Not in the same circumstances, but in that same feeling of being stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure if things could ever truly change. Change is possible, and it often begins with understanding what lies beneath these experiences.
My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by life — through my own struggles, my own questions, and my own search for answers. Before I became a therapist, I was someone who needed one. And that changed everything.“
My Personal Journey
From my twenties, I was fascinated by the human mind. Yet life, as it often does, had other plans. I pursued Engineering, completed my Master’s, and began my professional journey as a Lecturer. Over time, life unfolded through marriage, motherhood, and family commitments, and somewhere along the way, that quiet curiosity about the mind never quite left me.
People have always found their way to me. Friends, family, acquaintances, they confided their struggles, their secrets, their rawest experiences. I listened, always. I was told, more times than I can count, that I would make a good counsellor. I just didn’t yet have the tools to truly help bring about lasting change.
The turning point came quietly. Feeling lost in my own life, I picked up a book, “The Secret”, and something inside me woke up. I began to understand what I had always sensed but never had words for – that the mind is extraordinarily powerful, and that what lives in our subconscious quietly shapes everything. A dedicated meditation practice from then on deepened that understanding and carried me through some of my most challenging years.
Then came anxiety. Instead of fighting it, I sought help. I attended workshops, went to therapy, and experienced firsthand what genuine healing feels like. That was transformative. Not just because I overcame it, but because I finally understood something that now sits at the heart of everything I do: time alone does not heal. Healing happens when we face what hurts, understand where it comes from, and consciously choose a different path forward.
Our earliest experiences, our environment, our genetics, they shape us in ways we often don’t recognize until those patterns begin to show up in our relationships, our emotions, and our sense of self as adults. That realization led me to formally pursue the field I had always felt drawn to. I completed my Diploma in Psychotherapy and my Master’s in Psychology, deepened my training, and went on to establish Innerverse Journeys, a space where people don’t have to figure it out alone. When someone comes to me, however lost, however overwhelmed, I believe there is always something I can offer. Even if it begins with simply being heard. Completely. Without judgement. For the very first time.
