Our Services
I assist adolescents, adults and couples who experience a range of psychological difficulties. My areas of interest include (but are not limited to) relationship difficulties, negotiation of major life transitions, bereavement and loss, depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, substance use and self improvement.
My approach
In my work with clients in psychotherapy, I very much believe in assisting each individual in reaching their intrinsic potential. I am passionate about preventative mental health meaning early intervention is something I prioritize to prevent further difficulties. I’m a believer that clients are their own expert and work to create a collaborative space to promote sharing, growing and learning. Therapy can be a vulnerable experience, and it’s one that should feel safe and secure in order to access difficult experiences and emotions in order to heal. I am also very aware that we do not exist in isolation; we exist within relationships, families, work environments, cultures, histories, countries, legacies. I find a good awareness of the systems in which we exist, key in understanding an individual and assisting in their development. I am guided by a psychodynamic approach as well as integrating cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behavioural therapy when appropriate. I am a Registered BWRT® Practitioner which is a therapy I use when appropriate for trauma and anxiety.
