Kind Support
Each session is a quiet pause — a time to gently explore what you’re feeling, process what’s been heavy, and build new tools for resilience and regulation. In this space, you won’t be rushed, fixed, or judged. You’ll be met with kindness, curiosity, and care — whether you’re navigating anxiety, overwhelm, neurodiversity, trauma, or simply feeling out of sync.
Stretched Parents
Raising a neurodivergent or emotionally sensitive child can feel isolating and overwhelming. You don’t have to do this alone. Let’s make space for your needs, too.
Sensitive Kids & Teens
Your child might be anxious, withdrawn, acting out, or struggling to cope in everyday settings. Play-based, gentle counselling can help them feel seen, safe, and in control.
Challenged Adults
Life is hard. Maybe you're exhausted, anxious, or disconnected. You deserve support that honours your experience and helps you soften the load.
Nervous System Aware
You’ve tried talk therapy — now you’re looking for something deeper. Somatic and integrative support can help you regulate, release, and recover with kindness.
Rooted in Kindness
Support doesn’t end at the session. At Kind Roots, I also offer spaces for deeper learning, shared reflection, and gentle community. From practical workshops and self-paced courses to monthly Coffee Chats with local experts, we explore the real stuff — the things on our minds and in our hearts — together.Whether you're a parent, a helping professional, or someone navigating change, you're warmly invited to join the conversation.Want to stay in the loop?
