In individual therapy, I typically work with adults who are experiencing distressing emotions related, but not limited to, depression and mood, anxiety and stress, trauma, and interpersonal difficulties. These symptoms can be due to a variety of causes, such as the loss of a loved one, workplace changes, identity issues, childhood traumas or other traumatic experiences, or difficulties managing illness. I also have experience assessing adults experiencing emotional distress, complex and challenging personality traits, and/or changes to their thinking and cognitive abilities due to illness or head trauma.

**PLEASE NOTE - I am currently providing only video therapy** Therapy is an opportunity to find ways to live a more fulfilling and satisfying life. It can help you to: overcome difficult symptoms or stresses, cope effectively with problems, or bring more positives into your life when things are going well. I will approach therapy as a balance of helping you learn to understand and accept yourself and your life situations, and supporting you in learning to change ways of thinking and behaving that are not working for you. I am also currently offering training for Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). Please inquire if interested.

If trauma, abuse, and mental illness have left you feeling like you’re lost in the darkness, you’re not alone. It’s perfectly natural that the difficult emotions and loneliness you feel have cast a shadow over your life. But though the darkness may feel crushing, there is hope and light. The truth is your painful past does not mean that you are stuck with an unhappy future, and though your mental health might feel like it has taken charge of your life, it does not define you. As we work together, I’ll help you discover that you are much more than your circumstances, that your life matters, and that you have a powerful purpose.

To me, the main purpose of therapy is the pursuit of a more meaningful life. I work with adults experiencing stress and anxiety, mood issues, substance misuse, psychosis, and relationship problems to help them live more purposeful and fulfilled lives. I'll work collaboratively with you to identify and understand your difficulties and find out what's getting in the way of you living your most meaningful life. We'll then develop a personalized treatment plan that builds on your strengths and with which I will teach you the skills to navigate life's obstacles.

Hello! My name is Mafalda, and I am a qualified Art therapist who has experience working with youth and adults in both individual and group settings. Hmm, Art therapist? It means that I combine psychotherapy with the process of art making to help you explore and process emotions and thoughts that may be sometimes challenging to express into words. Many people believe you must be ‘good at art’ to benefit from art therapy, however, this is not the case. You “do not need any art experience” at all! In addition to art therapy, I often integrate various therapy approaches and mindfulness tools depending on your specific goals.

Our feelings are a compass pointing toward personal growth and movement. I have learned to listen to and respect these feelings and I can help you to do the same. My approach is honed through years of clinical work with children and families. Through this developmental lens, I can help you bring context to your concerns, see unhelpful patterns, and change portions of the picture that don’t serve you so you can show up differently in small moments and in big ones.

Feeling stuck? What if you no longer felt held back, and finally felt empowered in your life? Imagine if you felt more confident in your decisions, abilities and relationships? I provide client-centred, goal-focused support to adults experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, chronic pain, issues around self-esteem and confidence. I have experience and special interest supporting people experiencing panic and anxiety attacks, phobias, OCD and trauma related mental health experiences. If you're feeling immobilised by any of the above, I’m here and can help.

Having the right therapist to talk to and collaborate with on your goals, challenges, and emotional turmoil can help put things into perspective and create a plan for success. It can be challenging to navigate the world in the face of oppression, disability, stigma, and other barriers to success. My therapy draws on inner strengths and creative expression to manage complex thoughts and emotions, and increase feelings of empowerment. I emphasize meaning-making, the importance of self-efficacy, and perceived control of experiences in the healing process from cognitive, somatic, and social-constructivist perspectives.

It can be an act of courage and strength to seek help. Whether you have been thinking about this for a long time, face new struggles, or both, you deserve to take this step. I am an experienced clinical, health, rehabilitation psychologist who helps adults experiencing a broad range of issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, stress, life transitions. I am also experienced in working with clients experiencing medical illness (e.g. cancer, HIV, pain, diabetes, fatigue), and those who work, learn or perform in high demand settings (e.g. healthcare providers, athletes, artists, students) through my work in hospitals and universities.
