As a mature psychologist, I bring professional expertise and life experience to supporting you with recovery from anxiety, depression, and grief arising out family and relationship issues, health (including chronic pain), work, ageing, and stress.
I have a special interest in working with adults experiencing neuroplastic symptoms (chronic pain, anxiety, depression, CFS, IBS) who seek a more hopeful approach based on our understanding of how stress, childhood trauma, and personality habits impact on nervous system functioning and activate the brain's protective measures to keep us safe.

Maybe you've been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in old self-doubt or repeating patterns and you're wanting to better understand yourself, feel more grounded in your body, and create healthier ways of relating.
I work integratively, blending evidence-based counselling, nervous system education, CBT/ACT principles, attachment-informed work, and compassion-based approaches. Together we explore thoughts, emotions and physiology, and we gently build safety in your inner world so change can unfold at a pace that feels respectful and regulating for you.

When should I seek treatment for anxiety?

Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.

What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?

Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.

How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?

The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.

How effective is treatment for anxiety?

Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
