About me and my therapy practice
If you鈥檙e someone who looks calm on the outside but feels tense, overwhelmed, or on edge inside, you鈥檙e not alone. Anxiety can be quiet and constant - a tight chest, racing thoughts, that sense of 鈥淚 should be coping better than this鈥 even when you鈥檙e doing everything you can just to get through the day.
I鈥檓 Tonya, a person鈥慶entred counsellor. And from the very beginning, I want you to know this: you鈥檙e the expert on your life. You know your history, your feelings, your patterns. I鈥檓 not here to direct you or tell you what to do. I鈥檓 here to walk alongside you while you explore what鈥檚 happening inside.
My aim for this space is to offer somewhere you don鈥檛 have to hold everything together. A place where you can speak freely without feeling like you need to perform or find the 鈥渞ight鈥 words. I understand what it鈥檚 like when anxiety sits in your chest or your thoughts, and my aim is to offer a space where you can finally breathe a little easier.
In our sessions, we slow things down. You talk in your own way, at your own pace, and I stay with you - listening closely, noticing how anxiety shows up for you, and offering a steady, grounded presence while you make sense of things. There鈥檚 no rushing, no pressure, no expectation to be anything other than who you are in that moment.
Over time, things can start to soften. Not in a dramatic, overnight way, but in a gentle loosening - a bit more room inside, a bit less tightness, a bit more understanding of yourself. These shifts come from you. I鈥檓 simply alongside you while they unfold.
You set the pace. I鈥檓 right here with you.
If this sounds like the kind of space you鈥檝e been needing, I offer a free 20鈥憁inute chat. Sessions are 拢45 for 50 minutes, online during the day and evening.

You don鈥檛 have to carry everything alone.
My first session
Our first session is there to give us a steady starting point. We鈥檒l spend most of the time going through a gentle questionnaire together. This helps me get a clearer picture of you, your background, and what鈥檚 brought you to counselling. It鈥檚 simply a way for me to understand you better so I can support you in a way that feels right for you.
This first session isn鈥檛 about diving straight into difficult things. It鈥檚 about slowing down, building safety, and making sure we have the context we need. By the end, you鈥檒l have had space to share what feels important, and I鈥檒l have a better sense of how to walk alongside you in the sessions ahead.
I offer sessions at a pace that works best for you. Some people find a weekly rhythm supportive, especially when exploring anxiety, relationship patterns, or the impact of earlier experiences. Others prefer to meet more or less often, depending on what feels manageable and helpful. Together, we can find a frequency that supports your wellbeing, builds trust at a comfortable pace, and gives you the space you need to process whatever arises.
