Sometimes we can become ‘tangled up’ in our thoughts, or the challenges we face; negatively impacting our day-to-day life. Engaging in psychotherapy (or ‘talk counselling’) with a qualified professional can be a beneficial way to get ‘untangled’, and to get back on track with your well-being. I work with youth (ages 13+), adults, and parents/caregivers who are seeking to overcome difficulties associated with eating, body image, anxiety and depression. Together we can work towards better understanding the problems that are holding you back, while developing new insights, self-awareness, and positive coping.

Psychotherapy is a longer journey that examines the present and the past to identify the repeated patterns of unhelpful approaches you take to dealing with your life's challenges. It's a process that fosters self-discovery, helping you uncover your strengths, resilience, and psychological awareness. One of the key challenges is to maintain a balance between exploring the past and staying present, ensuring you don't overlook something important in your current life. Trust and kindness during your therapy naturally evolve in good psychotherapy.

My approach to counselling is attachment based and trauma informed. I have extensive training in Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the gold standard in couple's therapy, which I apply in my work with couples, families, and individuals. During our sessions I take an engaged and active role in the process, focused on helping you to identify the areas where you may be stuck and working with you to make changes aligned with your goals.

Do you have a junk drawer in your home? I like to think of therapy like emptying out and organizing your junk drawer. Trauma and stress disorganizes our brain. Memories and experiences are scrambled and coping skills are hidden. Therapy lets us empty out those drawers, put them in order, throw out the things we no longer need, and find the things we’ve been searching for.
