I am an experienced counsellor supporting individuals and couples dealing with depression, anxiety, addiction, chronic pain and life transitions. Together as a team we can explore and develop new ways of coping that will allow you to feel like your true self. Current thoughts and feelings are often filtered through a lens of past pain. As your counsellor, I can support you to develop the self-compassion and self-worth that will enable you to feel comfortable in your own skin, and be confident of your ability to deal with life's ups and downs. Happiness comes from within. If you are ready to seek help you are ready to find peace.
My counselling perspective is strengths-based, client-centered and collaborative, concentrating on building a warm and trusting relationship from which to explore the areas of life where you would like to see change. I use mindfulness skills in my practice as I believe that present moment awareness and acceptance are key factors in facilitating healing.
Asking for help takes courage but realizing you can't do it alone is a positive first step to healing. Don't hesitate to contact me by email or telephone for more information or to chat. I am happy to support abstinence/12-step or harm reductions strategies for addiction recovery.
