Counselling in Toronto, NSW

I specialise in counselling and therapeutic services, for young people, families and individuals. I have a background in working with people across many domains from victims of crime/abuse, child protection, Aftercare supports as well as generalised mental health and mentoring. I have worked across several programs with young people, families, women and men. Many of which have experienced issues such as poor mental health, childhood trauma, drug and alcohol dependence, grief and loss, domestic violence, life stage change adjustments or struggling with the emotions of life such as anxiety, depression, fear and shame.

Most issues that people experience have their origins in childhood when developmental needs were not met. Most parents mean well and do their best but because our culture is generally ignorant about the early needs of children the child has to learn how to adapt. For example a parent because of their upbringing may be easily angered. One way is for the child to move towards the parent by always trying to please the parent to ward off an angry episode. That is the behavior and the belief is "I have to be good or mummy will not love me." This establishes a mode that may not be helpful in later life in intimate relationships.

I am a registered Clinical Counsellor, Psychotherapist, and Hypnotherapist, and I have been providing counselling for over 9 years. Have you been experiencing mental/physical discomfort? You can expect a supportive environment with a person-centered genuine depth of listening without judgement to express concerns. Choosing a counsellor who is a good match for you is imperative to your journey of recovery and meeting your individual needs. I am dedicated and I have genuine concern for your health and wellbeing on a holistic level and approach these topics with compassion and empathy, while you shift toward health and wellbeing.

Don’t fit the mould in everyday life? You’re not on your own. If you’re struggling with past trauma, sex/sexuality/gender or relationship challenges, I think I could be your people. Interpersonal relationships are tough at the best of times, and these complexities can add to the stress and become super overwhelming. Many clients come to see me for support with accepting themselves, recognising their boundaries, and identifying unhelpful behaviours – where they come from, and assessing whether there is benefit in changing them. Together we explore the varied reasons you’re struggling.

Personal experience with separation & divorce, blended family issues, family disability, redundancy & career change, anxiety & depression, religious/church difficulties. When a person gets themselves lost they not only need someone who knows where they’re at, but someone who knows the way out. I teach anger management - you will understand it, respect it, learn how to diffuse it and use it in healthy ways.

There are times during life when someone can become overburdened, confused, anxious, traumatized, and depressed. When life can seem too complicated to manage by themselves. When someone is struggling to reach that all-important goal, pressures are increasingly getting in the way. When it is hard to separate the noise from the all-important information. When frustration leads to anger. When being alone leads to depressive isolation. At any time when someone is not living life to the fullest and is not happy in their choices, it is time to speak with a counsellor.

My commitment is to work alongside you to create a safe, non-judgmental space to help faciliate, unfold and navigate our conscious and unconscious behavious and patterns. I am here to be present with you, and to recognise that healing and transformation is not measured by external ideas of 'fixing'. Therapy is a progressive process. It's individual and meaningful. Your outcomes are supported by your willingness to stay with what your experiencing, to deepen with compassion and to integrate your mind, emotions and body into a sense of being whole so that you can have a deeper relationship with yourself.
