Within this population there is a fair amount of mental health and mental illness that I treat.

I know that it takes a lot of courage to reach out for help at times when we feel distressed, overwhelmed, vulnerable, confused, wrought with sadness, shame, hurt, guilt, intense worry... Some of us have been told or made feel that we do not deserve better, or that we are not good enough, or smart enough, or thin enough, or strong enough, or funny enough... Sometimes we seek refuge in food, alcohol, drugs, sex, or self-harm to cope with the belief that we can never feel differently about ourselves or the world.

I am able to help the youngest of children feel safe again after they have experienced something very scary. I am also able to help children whose imaginations take them to scary places, so they respond as if it is real. I am able to transform the feelings of danger through play especially whilst playing in the sand. Talk therapy is limited to left brain thinking whilst my approach accesses right brain disorganised images and bodily responses. This approach is quick and extremely effective for children and adults of all ages.

Sorry, but I am not accepting new clients at this time. Life is really challenging. You may lie awake at night, wondering how to handle all the pressures upon you. Your emotions swing wildly -- usually more down than up. Tears surge at odd times, and you feel suffocated by the heaviness in your chest. Or, you're experiencing problems in a relationship: with your spouse, your boss, or someone else whom you're close to. The strife and negative feelings that surround your relationship problems are draining you. You can't fix things on your own and you know you need help.

I have 20 years experience working with adolescents & adults (incl. couples) dealing with a variety of mood/anxiety problems, trauma, & relationship difficulties.

Life is a journey with many ups and downs and sometimes we may feel like we are in a place where we are stuck and feel alone. Sometimes we may just need support in a big decision that we are facing.

Whether you are dealing with the overwhelming stressors and pressures of daily life, parenting or relationship challenges, grief or loss of someone important, or perhaps worried about your your child,I can be there to support and navigate you or your child through this part of your journey in a supportive and non-judgemental environment.
