Not everyone needs a psychological diagnosis. Do you need someone to talk to? Are you finding life a struggle, feel anxious or overwhelmed? Has something specific happened that is preventing you from moving forward; the end of a relationship, loss of a job, a bereavement? Do you desire something to change, however, don't know specifically what it is or where to start? Perhaps things don't feel quite right and you need guidance with discovering any underlying issues you may not be aware of? As a trained counsellor, I offer a non-judgemental space to listen and help you sift through what may be troubling you.

Their motivation stems from a deep yearning for a life that aligns with their true essence. A life characterized by authenticity, connection, and purpose. They recognize that embarking on the journey of self-discovery and healing may be challenging, but they are willing to invest the time, effort, and vulnerability required to navigate the complexities of their inner world and emerge stronger and more resilient on the other side. Ultimately, they want to reclaim agency over their lives, cultivate a sense of inner peace and contentment, and embrace the full spectrum of their humanity with courage, compassion, and acceptance.

Neurobiological attunement being at the forefront, deep listening and skilful facilitation for assured relief and healing. Anchored in the body, as well as dialogue, together we access the origins of distress and augment an innate healing response. Painful and scary experiences such as anxiety, depression and anger can be effectively treated by accessing their origins within the body. My areas of expertise are trauma, and performance blocks.

Hi, I’m Tiarna, registered Psychologist. I'm a therapist who’s curious about what shapes us, especially through the lens of relationships, early experiences, and the ways we’ve learned to cope. I work with adults who are looking to better understand themselves, make sense of their emotions, and shift unhelpful patterns that may be getting in the way of how they relate to others (and to themselves). My approach is warm, collaborative, and gently inquisitive. I draw primarily from psychodynamic therapy, which means we’ll go beyond surface-level symptoms to explore the deeper patterns and experiences that influence your life now.
