Let's get to the ROOT of why you think, feel & behave the way you do. Whilst meditation, yoga, breathing exercises, journalling, good routines, etc. are helpful strategies, we need to really understand YOUR depression/anxiety first. Once we have processed & understood it, then you can begin to HEAL and find PEACE.

I have found narrative & psychodynamic therapy especially to be incredibly powerful in creating sustainable change in clients. CBT, ACT, MBCT can be useful once clients have understood & processed their issues effectively. Being able to know which modality to use at the right time, for the right client, takes experience. Creating a safe & non-judgemental space to explore together is my priority.
