We can all face difficulties like anxiety, stress and depression at one time or another and sometimes we need help to navigate these times. I specialise in working with adolescents and adults who have experienced grief and loss, PTSD, attachment/childhood trauma and intergenerational trauma. It is important to me that you feel comfortable and safe. We work out your goals and a pathway toward them together. I invite you to take a step and reach out. I am happy to have an obligation-free talk to see if I can meet your needs before you book a session.

My name is Aracely Duran and I work with clients that seek support for complex issues like trauma, anxiety, or family dynamics. They value a therapist who listens without judgment and offers practical strategies for coping and growth. Their goals include healing, improving relationships, and finding inner peace. They want to understand themselves better and navigate life's challenges with resilience. Ultimately, they seek a path to emotional well-being and a more fulfilling life, driven by a desire for personal growth and meaningful connections.

Choosing the right psychologist can be daunting, especially when you're feeling vulnerable and unsure how a stranger could help.
Creating a good connection and understanding is always my first aim to establish trust and start an open and honest dialogue. I have a warm, down-to-earth, approachable, and compassionate demeanor fostering a non-judgmental environment that encourages you to speak freely and openly.
Being an immigrant in this country and at times having “walked a road less traveled”, in my own life, has enriched me with a deep understanding of people and this has allowed me to connect empathetically and naturally.

“Living with clarity, understanding, and meaning.”
At some point in life, we all encounter moments where we feel stuck—unable to find new solutions to the challenges we face. The harder you try, the more drained you feel. Your thoughts spiral into endless rumination, leaving you with anger, frustration, and a lack of motivation. These struggles can surface in many areas: relationships, marriages, parenting, or even at work. No matter where they arise, they can make it seem impossible to move forward.

The current economic climate and international crises are putting pressure on mental health in ways rarely seen before. Your mental should not be sacrificed due to financial difficulties.

I believe our connection to nature is an important component of health that is sometimes overlooked, and make efforts to include this in therapy. It takes courage to reach out for help.
