Life might look full, and on paper it might even look good, but something feels missing. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or caught in patterns that keep repeating. Often, the women I work with are capable, self-aware and used to holding everything together. But they’re asking, in one way or another, “Who am I?” and “how do I want to be in the world?” They’re looking for a space to explore what is actually true for them, and to reconnect with the parts of themselves that have gone quiet beneath years of adapting, coping and surviving.

You may be struggling with a specific issue and have been for a while. Or you may be going through a rough patch and are uncovering new and puzzling emotions. A previously happy relationship no longer feels right. Your approach to parenting suddenly feels like it is failing. Maybe you are mid life and finding you no longer recognise yourself. Life just feels overwhelming and getting out of bed is hard. It's not uncommon to feel a little lost and isolated in your life, and unsure how to move forward. Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem can be part of that experience.

I work with adults experiencing relationship anxiety, fear of abandonment, people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, reassurance-seeking, jealousy or comparison, and reactions that feel disproportionate to what triggered them. These patterns tend to repeat across relationships, and often sit alongside high personal standards or a habit of putting others' needs first.
These patterns may have developed as responses to childhood relationships that were inconsistent, critical, or unpredictable. We work to both understand where these patterns came from and how they show up today to work towards lasting change.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
