I am super passionate about my work as a Counsellor after many years of working in the corporate world left me searching for a more fulfilling and meaningful career.
I view anxiety, depression, behavioural issues, anger management, relationship issues as symptoms or rather coping strategies. While we focus on addressing the strategies in my approach depending on the client's goals, I also like exploring the underlying issues behind them so that to achieve more profound results.

I provide schema coaching to fellow therapists and parents who want to focus on their own wellbeing and emotional health. I explore the lifelong schemas that cause stress at home and work: unrelenting standards, self-sacrifice, emotional deprivation, subjugation and approval-seeking. My clients come with a feeling of imbalance, wondering if they must sacrifice their own joy, mood and energy in order to succeed in their careers & relationships. I enjoy guiding my clients back to their true self, by being kind to themselves, and learning how to tolerate short-term guilt and interpersonal tension to achieve lasting contentment.

I get it. You're struggling with balancing work and life and trying to make sense of how to not be so frustrated and angry about the state of your world when it all seems too much. Then trying to explain it all to someone (perhaps your partner) when it gets too much but who can only offer a sympathetic nod or unhelpful advice such as 'just get over it' or 'you're being dramatic!' (which rarely helped in the history of advice!). The problem is not having space or the ability to try and untangle your thoughts amidst trying to just stay afloat in an ever-increasing complex world with competing demands on your attention and sanity.

I like to help people who are anxious to be helped. You nudge a ball in their direction and they see its value. Instantly they pick it up and run with it. I also enjoy people who are keen to try strategies that will work for them. A sharp imagination and a good sense of humour helps keep anxiety at bay and is a great assist in using hypnosis.
