Mental and emotional wellbeing is essential for us to achieve our goals and be the best version of ourselves. Not understanding the functions of our emotions can lead to poor emotional regulation or ineffective communication. This can cause depression, anxiety and interpersonal difficulties. We sometimes develop unhelpful ways to cope with life's challenges. I can help you discover ways to decipher important information about our emotions so that you can learn to use it as a guide map to achieve your goals, and build fulfilling relationships.

If there is one thing I have learned over the 15 years I have been in practice it is that one therapy, one intervention, one mode of help will not suit every client. Every client is different and even the ones that believe they are complex or believe they might not be able to be helped are really just seeking someone to collaborate with. That's what I do with clients - collaborate to help them find a better way to navigate life, a way to feel better, a way to cope better. My clients are not a 'one size fits all', I see each one as an individual. As a clinician I see them as a person, not a process.
