I specialise in those who identify as self development junkies, perfectionists and over-achievers. Do you feel like your work is never good enough? Like you’re lost trying to complete a To-Do list that never ends with limited time each day? You feel stuck in routines that aren’t working? You probably think through your problems over and over again, but nothing changes. I can help. My clients most commonly face the following issues - high stress environments, self-criticism, feel stuck, experience conflict with loved ones, processing a break up and struggle to feel like they are enough. I work with both teens and adults.

NO Availability at present: Are difficult childhood or past adult experiences continuing to impact your life now? These 'traumas' can lead you to feeling anxious, depressed, angry, not good enough, dissatisfied in relationships/ work. You might be soothing with harmful behaviours or substances. Together we focus on settling your nervous system and addressing safely how the past experiences impacted you. Talking alone is not enough when working with these past experiences. Brainspotting Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness and Somatic Therapies address your brain and body. They are integrated into our work.

Change is inevitable so the saying goes. Changes in our relationships are changes we often feel deeply: with our partner; in our family; with our children as they grow; with our parents as they get older; in our workplace; with friends. We can also experience change in ourselves: the place we live; our health; our life goals. Mostly we have the capacity and resilience to thrive through change. But sometimes we experience frustration, hurt, pain, anger, sadness, despair. Sometimes we can feel stuck. It may be working with a counsellor like me will help better understand the experience and rediscover your resilience.
