Hi there, my name is Annamarie. I support adults and youth (16+) through challenges like trauma, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, ADHD, Chronic Pain, relationship issues, weight management and substance use or reduction. My approach blends evidence-based and holistic methods—Hypnotherapy, EMDR, SFBT, Ego State or Parts Therapy and Somatics—to work with you as a whole person, Mind, Body and Spirit. I believe meaningful change happens when we understand the connection between our thoughts, emotions, bodies, and nervous systems—and when we find approaches that truly resonate with the individual.

My clients are often navigating a major life transition — a move to a new country, a career change, retirement, a loss, or a shift in an important relationship. Many are immigrants, newcomers, or people from minority cultures who are also renegotiating identity and belonging. These changes raise hard questions: who am I now, and where do I belong? I help clients slow down, make sense of the change, and reconnect with their strengths and direction, so they can move forward with clarity and confidence.

With 17 years of experience, I help people navigate anxiety, grief, trauma, burnout, relationship challenges, life transitions, spiritual exploration & the many seasons of being human. While insight is important, healing often requires more than simply talking about our experiences. Together, we listen to the wisdom of the body, process emotions, regulate the nervous system, reconnect with inner wisdom & cultivate meaningful change. At the heart of it, I help people come home to themselves - reclaiming their voice, trusting their intuition, and reconnecting with parts of themselves that have been hidden, silenced, or forgotten.

Hi I am Theresa. My journey as a counsellor began long before I entered the counselling profession. For many years, I worked as a bodyworker. This experience taught me that healing is not only a cognitive process—it also lives within our nervous system, emotions, and physical experience.
The body remembers. It protects. It speaks in sensations long before words are found.
I came to understand that the body is a doorway to our emotions, our nervous system, and our deepest inner wisdom. By integrating somatic awareness with trauma-informed counselling, I help clients explore the connection between mind and body.

How does neuro-linguistic programming work?
A therapist using Neuro-linguistic programming might start by building a strong rapport and gathering information about the client’s objectives and any problem areas. Then the NLP therapist will employ NLP techniques to guide their client toward healthier thoughts and behaviours. Clients will learn how to better manage their moods and hone their communication skills. NLP will conclude with the therapist and client making a plan for how to integrate the positive changes into their daily life in the future.
What are some techniques used in neuro-linguistic programming?
NLP therapists often employ anchoring, so the client begins to automatically associate their trigger with a healthier response. Clients also learn how to reframe a situation to change the way they react to it for the better, and how to replace the negative beliefs that are holding them back. Many NLP clients practice visualisation or forming a mental image of themselves attaining their goals. Every NLP therapist will have their own preferred approach with specific techniques that they have found to be helpful for their clients.
How long does neuro-linguistic programming take?
Since neuro-linguistic programming is not regulated, the length of treatment can vary greatly. Some therapists may only use NLP in a single session, while others may employ it over the course of weeks, months, or even years. It depends greatly on the type and severity of the problem being treated, as well as the individual client’s response to NLP treatment.
Is neuro-linguistic programming evidence-based?
While some people may find neuro-linguistic programming helpful, either in therapy or in their career or personal development, the science behind this approach is inconclusive. Most of the available studies are small in scale and have produced mixed results, and the commercial nature of NLP lends itself to conflicts of interest. More research is needed. In the meantime, practitioners must use their best judgment of whether NLP techniques will be helpful in meeting their clients’ individual needs.
