Does your child need support navigating challenges like ADHD, behavioural concerns, hyperactivity, motivation, decision-making, focus, aggression, shyness, or other social-emotional issues? At Positive Kids, we understand how difficult it can be to see your child struggle. That’s why we’ve created a nurturing space to help children and teens develop critical life skills, in the following areas: self-control, self-awareness, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision-making. These children ultimately become independent, confident, inquisitive, enthusiastic, responsible and compassionate adults in later years.

Sometimes, the weight we carry isn’t visible, i.e., grief, guilt, exhaustion, or the silent burden of being everything for everyone. It can leave you feeling like there's no space left to just be. Maybe you're doing your best to support others while feeling like you're unraveling on the inside. Maybe you’ve experienced trauma and are still waiting for the world to feel safe again? Or maybe you're simply tired of dissociating, of pretending, of staying composed while suffering in silence. If any of this resonates, you're not alone. And there is nothing wrong with you.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Does your hopes and dreams seem so far from being able to be achieved? Perhaps just getting through the day has been a challenge for you lately. More than ever, people feel anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about their tomorrow. As we go through life, we experience breakups, hardships, sickness, failure, and loneliness. My journey started with being born and raised in Australia where everything is said to be, “She’ll be right mate!”. We all know this is not the case.

Hey, I'm Chantal. I'm a firm believer that by getting out of our comfort zone, we can make lasting changes in our lives and become the best version of ourselves. By working with clients to identify and address the underlying causes of their challenges, and by empowering them to take an active role in their own healing, I aim to support clients in achieving greater balance, resilience, and inner healing. I hope to help clients find greater meaning and purpose in their lives, and to cultivate a sense of well-being that extends beyond the therapy room.

Has "getting by" become a way of life? Are you feeling hijacked by anxiety, stuck in cyclical low mood, or simply overwhelmed in relationship dynamics? Toxic stress and trauma destabilize our nervous system and shake up our sense of safety and control. In therapy, we open the doorway to understanding and neutralizing the roots of your triggers. Trauma-informed therapy works to stabilize your brain and body so that surviving transforms into thriving. It empowers you to restore balance within... to become the architect of your mind... and to cultivate a resilient self, unburdened by the past or life's circumstances.

You are here because you are looking for something. Something that either reveals deeper aspects of who you are or shows that you are attempting to learn more about yourself.

Therapy is an opportunity to build resilience and learn how to cope with undesirable life events. Anger, fear, sadness, shame & guilt arise when life experiences are overwhelming & misunderstood. Anxiety & Depression are responses to the failure to understand and care for the self. Feelings of stress and inner discomfort need to be understood to be addressed. The psychotherapy techniques I use to ease client issues and discomfort include CBT, Talking Therapy, DBT skills, Client-Centred, Compassion, Emotional and Solution-Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Psychoeducation, attachment frameworks, and family systems.

People-pleaser, perfectionist, caretaker, rescuer, fixer… We all have defenses that help us move through life. There comes a time, however, when one or more of our defenses doesn’t work for us any longer. This is when therapy can help. Perhaps you are going through or considering a major life transition (relationship, career, lifestyle) but old defenses, beliefs and patterns are getting in the way. You want to trust your choices, but don’t know if you can. All you know is that it’s not possible to go forward the same way. Something needs to change.

Years ago whilst dealing with some health issues that affected me both mentally and physically a mentor/counsellor told me to “change my thoughts, in order to change my world. Because my present circumstances at the time did not determine were I go, but where I started." Hence, I do understand how mental and physical struggles can impact one's life and that admitting to those struggles and asking for help is never easy. I am here to walk alongside you on the journey to healing and restoration.

Our therapists often hear from clients who say, "I'm aware of what I need to do, but I struggle to take action." This sentiment may resonate with you. It's normal to feel unsure and anxious during times of crisis, family conflict, relationship issues, or any significant life changes. However, if these emotions hinder your progress, ignoring them won't make them go away. It's crucial to acknowledge your fears, pinpoint their origins, and take proactive steps to overcome them for your well-being.
