Life is full of stressors and challenges. It can be a struggle getting through each hour of each day. As a consequence, we can experience depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, feeling stuck, or feeling not quite right. We may struggle to adapt to a new situation - loss of a loved one, job loss, overwhelmed by work or study, separation, a new diagnosis, a medical event such as cancer or a heart attack. You don' t need to struggle alone. Adjustment and change are possible. Reaching out can be scary. Better now, than later or never. We all need expert support at times. It's ok, to not be ok. An impartial, supportive ear is available.
As a trained clinical health psychologist, I provide an individualised and holistic approach to improve your mental health and physical well being. Taking into account your personal circumstances, I will support and empower you to improve your circumstance, and I will help you achieve your goals. I have expertise in cardiac and other chronic conditions.
We can use a variety of therapeutic strategies - talking, reflecting, sharing, writing, art therapy, mindfulness, self-care. You will guide the process based on your needs. You have taken a big first step by being on this website. Reaching out can be daunting, yet here you are.
