Redefining Health

When it comes to treating mental health issues, everyone is different. There is no single solution, nor do any two individuals experience a set of circumstances in the same way. That’s why I take a personal approach when treating patients. My training lends itself to a variety of conditions including stress, mood disorders such as anxiety and depression. My own life experience of having lived in two countries, having had careers in multiple industries and various formal and informal education lends itself to working well with clients at times of transition and those questioning their life purpose and sense of meaning.

I am passionate about supporting teenagers and adults, especially those who deal with the impacts of trauma, who don’t feel good in the boxes society tries to fit us into, who are trying to make the world a better place, or are simply struggling to cope with events beyond our control. The world can be a difficult place to live in, and we all need help sometimes. And sometimes we need a cat video. I named Ginger Cat Counselling after my own lovable eccentric, because it reminds me of the comfort and support I don't always realise I have. You are the expert in your life, and its my job to help you figure out how to support yourself.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, tired, hopeless or lacking joy; like your emotions are uncontrollable or that they do not match with reality; that your worry is getting out of hand or that there is no longer any point, then it might be a good time to seek some support. We are social creatures, and despite what our modern society might have us believe, we all need human connection to function. Seeking support is a huge sign of strength – the strength to actually reach out and let someone in, in order to start the healing process. If you can relate to this or if you have set yourself a personal development goal please reach out.
