In schema therapy, an ideal client may grapple with entrenched emotional patterns or schemas, such as abandonment, mistrust, or inadequacy. They may have endured recurrent relational challenges or traumatic events that fuel these schemas. Their needs might encompass comprehending and validating their emotions, cultivating healthier coping mechanisms, and nurturing secure attachments. Their aspirations could entail dismantling detrimental patterns, nurturing self-worth, and fostering gratifying relationships.

Sometimes we feel lost without a sense of who we are and where we are going, we feel stuck and pulled in different directions; on one hand we may feel moments of presence and clarity about what we want or who we are, and on the other hand we feel a mixture of afraid, critical, moody, distrusting, disconnected, confused, lacking confidence, and reacting on autopilot. When you get to know your inner world and have a better relationship with it, you will feel a greater sense of peace, confidence, and capability to handle the pitfalls of life, make decisions, and connect with others.

From a young age, I have loved listening to people's stories and being a supportive person helping others explore their inner world. I commonly work with folks who are wanting help with anxiety, perfectionism, their inner critic, feeling lost, chronically feeling low mood, having difficulty with their friendships and romantic partnerships, coping as best as they can after traumatic experiences and wanting additional support from a professional, and overall just folks who want to understand themselves better.

Let's face it, finding the right counsellor fit can be intimidating. Having to share vulnerably with a stranger is not something that most people find comfortable and yet the benefits can be transformative when the environment is right. The approach I take as a counsellor is often described as a mix of casual and easy-going with a matching of investigative curiosity and problem-solving. The goal of my work is to help clients deepen their understanding of themselves, their situation, and their environment so that they can best make an informed decision on how to move forward and ultimately improve their quality of life and agency.
