Explorations will go BEYOND talking ‘about’ stuff, and will include:
Mindfulness
around sensations; Expression through images/art; Role-playing; Dream analysis, +++, all in the service of heightening awareness around the relational stances we take, and also evoke, in those around us.
Angry much? Are you and your partner arguing more than ever? Is someone threatening to leave if you don’t change your angry ways? Perhaps your anger even surprises YOU at times. If any of this sounds familiar, let’s talk! Whether you feel alone in your anger - or worry you’ll end-up alone if you don’t ‘do something’ about it - this can be a pretty painful place to be. If you’ve got the energy and desire to get to know yourself a little better, and have the interest to explore your inner 'landscape' more thoroughly, then I encourage you to book a free consult so we can chat more about what’s happening and what may be possible!

Built on psychodynamic principles and integrating EFT, DBT, CBT, and
mindfulness
elements, my approach offers practical solutions while at the same time encouraging profound and lasting change.
Our minds are magnificent! In damaging environments, they develop ingenious ways of keeping us protected and helping us survive. However, as our situations change and we are no longer in danger, these once helpful strategies can outlive their usefulness and become sources of distress. In times like these, it can be beneficial to talk with someone who really understands and can help us see the path forward. I am honoured that so many have chosen to speak with me. My practice focuses on acute and chronic trauma, including emotional abuse, anxiety, and depression.

Life brings hardships. You may be burdened by the past, worried about the future, or just struggling to get through the day. You may have distressing thoughts, emotions or habits that get in the way of living the life you seek. You might have trouble coping, while also being reluctant to seek support. I believe that everyone has within them the capacities to live a happy and meaningful life, and yet anyone can get stuck and need help getting back on track.
