Do you experience a constant feeling of unease? Do simple tasks feel overwhelming to you? Getting out of bed may seem like an insurmountable obstacle, and going to work or socializing with friends might feel like monumental challenges. It's as if you're navigating a constant storm, and there may be a fear of making mistakes or not meeting expectations. If this sounds familiar, know that you don't have to continue feeling this way. You deserve more from life, and I want to help you reach a place where you feel good again.

Life isn't always easy and it doesn't always give us what we expect. We can find ourselves consumed with worry and spiraling thoughts or feeling so low and unmotivated, even getting out of bed seems tough. We can reel from the mental load and exhaustion that comes with chronic pain or chronic illness and feel overwhelmed or burdened with grief and loss or life transitions. We can be hard on ourselves and sometimes struggle to meet our goals. Things might feel hopeless - like they'll never get better. But you don't have to travel these roads alone.

Our mental health is such an important part of our overall wellbeing and for the way we show up in our life, yet it isn’t always an easy thing to address or to talk about. Our experiences and the challenges that can come with them are unique to each of us, just as are our strengths and values, and sometimes having the support of a therapist can help us to reconnect with these parts of ourselves and choose a way forward. I acknowledge that cultural and social systems interact with our inner world and lived experience, and it’s important to me that my practice integrates diverse perspectives and ways of caring for each client.

Motivational Interviewing Counsellors
How does motivational interviewing work?
Motivational interviewing aims to uncover a person’s internal motivation to change their life. Toward this end, the therapist listens, empathises, and collaborates with the client based on their perspective; the therapist doesn’t adhere to a predetermined plan for change or impose their viewpoint on the client. Discovering an individual’s most important reasons for change, and guiding them to achieve those changes, can empower people to shift from ambivalence to action.
Is motivational interviewing evidence-based?
Yes, research shows that motivational interviewing can help treat alcohol and substance use — and in different ways such as reducing drinking, reducing resistance, and increasing the likelihood of staying in treatment. Motivational interviewing has also been shown to help people lose weight, adhere to medication regimens, improve diet for those with Type II diabetes, and improve healthy behaviours in children.
How long does motivational interviewing last?
Motivational interviewing is a short-term therapy that can last just one or two sessions. In some cases, motivational interviewing may be used in conjunction with longer-term therapies, but for most people, motivational interviewing is a brief intervention that aims to help patients understand their personal, specific, and internal reasons for changing their life.
What differentiates motivational interviewing from person-centered therapy?
In person-centered therapy, the individual is in the driver’s seat of the treatment process, creating space for them to trust their instincts and arrive at their own solutions. The two approaches are similar because motivational interviewing is also client-centered; however, person-centered therapy is more open-ended while motivational interviewing is somewhat more structured; the goal is to change, and the therapist helps the client specifically discover their internal motivations to modify their behaviour.
