Maybe you've always felt like a lot. Too sensitive, too in your head, too aware of everything beneath the surface. Maybe you've spent years trying to take up less space or logic your way out of patterns you can't seem to break. And yet here you are, still feeling it all. That's not a flaw. That's where the work gets interesting. I'm a therapist and founder of Oddly Human Counselling. I work with thoughtful, complex, and often neurodivergent adults who are tired of managing their inner world and ready to actually understand it.

Do you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, ADHD, trauma, burnout, or constant stress? Perhaps you find yourself overthinking, people pleasing, feeling emotionally exhausted, or repeating patterns that leave you feeling stuck. Therapy is more than managing symptoms. It is an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and discover the clarity, resilience, and peace that can become buried beneath fear and self doubt. Together, we will create meaningful change so you can feel more balanced, confident, connected, and fully present in your life.

At an early age and throughout my life, as I have struggled with life’s ebbs and flows, I have realized how support and connection can provide people with a space for discovery. Through my own personal experiences, I have learned how essential it is to have a space to be heard. I believe in supporting those who are struggling to have a voice, and for that voice to provide a pathway towards growth and wellness. I am passionate about people, healing, and supporting those who need it most. My personal and professional values are intertwined. I believe in empowerment and supporting individuals to be the best they can be.

Reaching out for help with a problem can be very intimidating! It may help you to know that our work together will always be based upon YOUR values and goals and a shared understanding of the problem. I use cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based methods to help people who struggle with unpleasant feelings, problem behaviors, or under-functioning. I'm a huge fan of ACT Therapy, which helps you to notice and disentangle from unhelpful thoughts, notice and accept diffiuclt feelings, orient to the present moment and commit to actions that move you towards what you want in life - towards your values!

Hi my name is Golda. I am so pleased you have decided to take the steps towards your healing journey. The good news is that you do not have to do this alone. Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, challenging relationships, disconnection or loss of a sense of self that affects your day-to-day life, relationships, ability to function in your home, work or school. Do you feel stressed and overwhelmed by just getting through the day, the thought that thereʼs no light at the end of the tunnel? Do you wonder and hope that life could be better?

In over thirty years working as a psychologist, I have become convinced that the most effective way to help others is through a collaborative approach. When the client and therapist work together to find solutions, the emphasis is placed on the client’s individual perspective and the strengths and successes they have already achieved. At the core of therapy, I believe, is a non-judgemental and compassionate view of how everyone’s personal journey involves overcoming suffering and moving towards self-acceptance, empowerment and emotional well- being. I also provide Supervision for therapists.
