In order to provide a person-centred and relational approach, I utilize different modalities such as CBT, EFT, IFS, Gottman, Narrative, Adlerian and Gestalt Therapies.
I believe that asking for help and being vulnerable takes great courage. Therefore, by establishing a healthy therapeutic relationship through a non-judgemental, empathetic, collaborative, and psychodynamic approach, I help you unpack what may be at the core of your concerns and improve your ability to cope with the challenges that brought you to therapy.

You have experienced life in a unique way that no one could understand better than you. I enjoy the challenge of understanding reality through the eyes of another. Whether you are struggling with depression, apathy, ADHD, chronic isolation, chronic cannabis use, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, substance or behavioral addictions, complex trauma, your job (or lack thereof), narcissistic abuse, or existential angst, I am here to listen and support you in achieving your goals. I foster healing, empowerment, and growth through compassion, collaboration and insight. The rocky path to self-actualization does not have to be walked alone.

Does it ever blow your mind that you came into existence as a human? The enormity and perplexity of consciousness is hard to bear. Accepting the duality of reality generally feels impossible. The majority of life seems dull and plagued by a constant gnawing pressure to do more, be more, acquire more. But that void inside us remains. It gapes with loss. Identities become blurry. We question who we are, why we do things, or whether there is any point to keep going. If these words strike a chord with you, let’ s talk! I aim to inspire hope and clarity through a HIP style of psychotherapy - humanistic, integrative and progressive.

Parenting is tough. You want to be the best parent you can be but when kids act out, coping with their behaviour can be very stressful, tough on your relationships, and disruptive for the rest of the family. If what you're doing isn't working, are you willing to try something new?

At Compassionate Counselling, I provide therapy to individuals, couples and parents. I offer both psychotherapy and relationship coaching. I believe in the importance of building a strong, solid, trusting relationship with all my clients and respect the need to remain open and flexible to the differing and changing needs of all individuals. My professional style is relaxed, gentle and welcoming. I work on the principle that a good therapist is like a cast on a broken leg, there for awhile to support the injury while healing and then gently removed as the leg repairs itself.

Adlerian Counsellors
How does Adlerian psychology work?
In the framework of Adlerian therapy, people are motivated by a sense of belonging and community, which drives them to surmount feelings of inferiority so as to contribute to their society; fulfilling these desires can help people flourish. Adlerian therapy proceeds in four stages—engagement, assessment, insight, and reorientation—in an overall effort to understand the client’s past and to achieve their present-day humanistic goals.
Is Adlerian therapy humanistic?
Yes, Adlerian psychology is humanistic; it focuses on the whole person, emphasises their strengths rather than just their symptoms, and centers them in determining how they can grow and flourish. This school of thought informed the work of Abraham Maslow, who went on to develop humanistic psychology.
How long does Adlerian therapy take?
Adlerian therapy is a short-term, goal-oriented form of therapy that takes around 15 to 20 weekly sessions. Of course, some people may be in therapy for a shorter or longer time frame; length depends on the individual and the problem or condition they wish to treat. Clients can ask their therapist about the timeline for treatment before they begin and check in periodically to ensure that they’re on the same page in terms of progress.
Is Adlerian therapy evidence based?
There is not as much evidence to support the effectiveness of Adlerian therapy as there is for other types of therapy such as cognitive behavioural therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. But Adlerian therapy may be the right therapy for some people—whether they’re seeking to treat mental disorders or achieve self-growth—especially those looking for a holistic approach that emphasises relationships, community, self-worth, and purpose.
