If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, anger, family/relationship dynamics and/or life transitions you probably already know the overwhelming capacity that these issues can have in your life. Even on the sunniest of days with the bluest sky above, it can still feel like there is a dark cloud looming overhead. If you are struggling you don't have to do it alone.
In my practice, I use a client-centered approach to counselling which means I work in collaboration with you to form a relationship based on mutual trust and respect. From this healthy foundation, we are able to join in our focused attention towards improving aspects of your life and emotional well-being that are of importance to you at this time. I use methods which have been backed up by scientific evidence and proven to be effective in the regulation of emotions, managing negative thought patterns and treating anxiety and depression. I draw from an eclectic mix of evidence-based and strength-based therapy modalities, some of which include: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) and the principles of Positive Psychology. Also of importance in my practice is the awareness of the mind-body-spirit connection which is incorporated into my therapeutic approach.
For single impactful events of which you have witnessed or been affected by, I offer Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). Such events might include: Motor vehicle Accident; workplace accident; theft, violent act or scam; natural disaster; or death/loss. The goal of EMDR is to help you reach a place of resolution and healing regarding the event, enabling you to gain a new perspective into your capabilities.
