Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in L4C

Finding the right therapist can be a long and difficult process, however, it is crucial to find a therapist that can understand, accept and support you. What I offer to my clients is a safe, non- judgemental and confidential environment where they can gain a greater insight on their core strengths and values to help them achieve their therapeutic goals. As someone who was faced with challenges such as ADHD, having a brother with Autism, etc. I can relate to my clients on a more personal level and with this experience I can help you navigate through these tough times. I enjoy working with teenagers, adults, couples, refugees etc.

Asking for help is a sign of strength. If you are looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, BPD, PTSD or have been a victim of narcissistic abuse, it takes courage to ask for help.

Therapy can enable you to delve deeper through inner child work and reparenting yourself to heal your trauma wounds and move forward. Asking for help and obtaining a fresh perspective of your past is the first and most profound step toward developing the mental muscle needed to attain emotional and mental strength.
