Hi, I'm Nelly; a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) & Mental Health Counsellor.
If you’ve spent years holding everything together, anxiety, overwhelm, and chronic stress can start to feel like your normal. I understand what it’s like to carry a lot while still trying to function, perform, and care for others.
