Meet Corene

Hello, I’m Corene and I’m so glad you are here. I’m a psychotherapist and someone who has spent much of life listening - to people, to stories, to the quiet truths underneath it all.

I offer gentle, trauma-informed therapy to adults and adolescents navigating change, loss, identity, self-concept, anxiety, grief, and the quieter questions that don’t always have names.

My approach is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), narrative therapy, transpersonal psychology, and deep presence. I also draw on clinical hypnotherapy and embodied practices when helpful. At the heart of everything I do is a belief that healing happens when we feel safe enough to be fully seen.

Before becoming a therapist, I lived and worked in internationally in the non-profit and corporate sectors for many years. I am also an academic researcher with an interest in education and learning. I have experience teaching and mentoring university undergraduate and postgraduate students. So I understand what it means to carry complex identities, live through transition, and find belonging across time zones and timelines.

Counselling with me is compassionate, collaborative, and real. You don’t have to perform, prove, or pretend. Just come as you are. We’ll go from there, together.

If this feels like a gentle yes in your system, I’d love to meet you.
