Ease of Mind Counselling
Counsellor, MC, ACA-L2

I've worked extensively with people that struggle with the idea of counselling. I encourage seeing it as building on wellbeing and self-improvement rather than thinking it's about fixing something wrong. For over 15 years I’ve supported people wanting to enhance the way they deal with life's challenges or make changes to themself no longer serving them well. My approach is to provide practical support to get you feeling some ease and relief, both efficiently and affordably. I have extensive experience working with men as well as women. I offer general counselling as well as specific support options for stress reduction and anger.

My ideal client is a woman who feels like she's lost herself in the midst of motherhood, relationships, responsibilities, or just trying to keep up with life. She might be snapping over little things, feeling guilty afterward, overwhelmed by the mental load, or grieving the version of herself that existed before children. Often, she's the one holding it together for everyone else but inside, she feels like she's running on empty. She wants to stop yelling, find time to do the things she loves, stop second-guessing everything, have a conversation with her partner that lasts longer than 5 seconds, and simply just, breathe!
