Hi there, I'm Phoebe. I am currently offering virtual counselling sessions as part of my Master of Counselling Psychology degree, and I am so glad you're here!
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and reflective. I strive to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and heard as I believe therapy works best when it centres around your experiences, pace, and what feels most meaningful to you. I draw from approaches such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Before entering the counselling field, I spent time working in fraud investigations and talent acquisition in tech. While these roles are quite different from what I do today, they deepened my understanding of the stress, pressures, and uncertainty that can come with navigating life changes while feeling pulled toward another path. My own experience as a therapy client also showed me how impactful it can be to have a space to slow down and explore values and personal narratives with someone who is present and nonjudgmental; this has greatly shaped how I want to show up for you.
I am particularly drawn to supporting individuals navigating life transitions, career changes, burnout and relational challenges. I also welcome those exploring the complexities of living between cultures or holding multicultural identities. Wherever you are in your journey, I am here to offer support and a space to explore with you.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading fantasy/thriller fiction while cuddling with my bearded dragon, Bubbles! I also love puzzles and often spend time with my husband playing board games or visiting escape rooms. A fun fact about me is that I am a digital illustrator and newbie tattoo artist. I love being able to create and scribble. Email me at phoebe@jolenedawn.com to set up an appointment.
