If you feel like you logically understand your problems but still can't seem to change your automatic reactions, you aren't alone. Traditional talk therapy often focuses solely on the conscious mind, while pure hypnotherapy may lack practical day-to-day strategies. My approach bridges this gap by integrating Clinical Hypnotherapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). This dual-level methodology addresses both the conscious thoughts and the deep-seated subconscious patterns that drive behaviours like anxiety, insomnia, and addiction.

I help with common challenges like anxiety, low mood, stress, and adjusting to major life changes, as well as more complex concerns including trauma recovery, navigating neurodivergence (i.e ADHD, autism), borderline personality disorder, eating disorders, and obsessive or compulsive behaviours—focusing on meaningful, lasting change.
I offer a warm, affirming environment where we work toward the changes that matter most to you. I draw on ACT, DBT, CFT, EMDR, and gentle body-based approaches like vagus nerve yoga to support regulation and healing, especially after complex trauma. For children, I adapt these methods into playful, creative activities.

You may be feeling overwhelmed by trauma, anxiety, or depression, and finding it hard to fully engage in life. Unprocessed experiences can stay stuck in the nervous system, keeping you on edge or disconnected. I offer a safe, empathetic space where you are truly heard. Using evidence-based trauma therapy, including EMDR, I help you process the past, reduce distress, and create lasting change—so you can regain control, resilience, and live more fully, not just cope.

Psychotherapy is about building a greater awareness and understanding of your patterns in life. This allows you to find a sense of spaciousness where, rather than act reactively, you can make more conscious choices and cultivate a stronger sense of self. If you find yourself often feeling anxious or depressed, held back by past traumas, not living the life you want, or lacking direction, then please reach out so I can support you in finding the change you need.

When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.

How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioural therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.

How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
