Counselling in 3205

Life can feel like a lot to juggle. Whether it’s overthinking, burnout, or overwhelm, stress and anxiety can have a way of creeping in. Managing a chronic health condition can make things even more exhausting. Some days, it’s hard to know where to start.
You might also be wondering if ADHD or autism play a role. Understanding how your brain works can be complicated but extremely helpful. An assessment can help you make sense of things and find strategies that support you.
I also work with teens navigating anxiety, overwhelm, or big life changes by helping them build confidence and coping strategies that work for them.

I help people with anxiety and relationship issues. If you are suffering with social anxiety, worry, intrusive thoughts, panic, and/or perfectionism, I will work with you to understand the root cause of your anxiety and learn strategies to manage the difficult physical and emotional symptoms that come with anxiety. If you are having relationship issues, at home, work or with friends, I will work with you to identify the dynamics in relationships and look at what you can do to improve relationships, set boundaries, or re assess the relationships if necessary (please note I do not see couples).

It's my job to make myself redundant with clients, to help them end their work with me equipped with insights & skills to better manage emotional challenges.

I offer a space where distressing thoughts can be explored safely - with courage, imagination & some humour, but no nonsense. The client decides if we're a good fit & we go from there.
