Counsellor, PACFA

I provide person-centred, trauma-informed counselling for adolescents and adults.
I work with children, adults and older adults who may feel stuck, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from themselves. You may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship issues, grief, low self-esteem, stress, burnout, parenting challenges, or significant life changes. Some clients come to counselling because old ways of coping are no longer working; others simply want to better understand themselves and the experiences that have shaped them. I offer a warm, supportive space where we can explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion without judgement, while finding new ways to move forward.

If you're considering therapy you're likely entertaining the possibility of change! Many clients have a sense of feeling 'stuck' - that what they've been doing isn't sustainable - old coping/survival strategies aren't workable and use up valuable energy, e.g.. avoidance of/distracting from/suppressing/whiteknuckling/ruminating on: thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, urges, images, memories. These maintain negative cycles, keep our emotional brain vigilant to 'threat' and our nervous system mobilised in a stress response. What if we could imagine a future we'd like to participate in, regardless of what's showing up in the present?

If you've found yourself here, life has probably become harder than you expected. Perhaps anxiety has become exhausting, panic attacks seem to come out of nowhere, work feels overwhelming, or experiences from the past continue to affect your life. Whatever has brought you here, I'd like you to know one thing from the beginning: you are not crazy. Many people come to counselling believing they're somehow broken because they can't simply "get over it." More often, their thoughts, emotions and reactions make sense when viewed in the context of what they've experienced.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
