In this high-paced world, people don’t take the time to sit and talk things through – especially their problems. I’m a strong believer in the importance of talking through your problems in order to process them and gain an understanding of not only your challenges, but also what’s important to you, your strengths, and your goals. I balance my approach of processing through dialogue with my love for concrete, practical interventions and strategies. My goal as your therapist is always to provide a non-judgemental space for you to explore your difficulties while also providing practical strategies to meet your needs.

Life's complexities can often feel overwhelming and stressful. It's not uncommon to find yourself entangled in patterns that seem to hinder rather than serve your well-being. Perhaps you sense a disconnection from others or a pervasive dissatisfaction with your current state. Remember, you're not alone in experiencing these emotions. Together, we can focus on rediscovering connection and fulfillment by channelling your inner resilience. I believe that every individual has the capacity for growth and transformation, no matter their circumstances.

If you are trying to make changes, but not quite reaching your goals. If relationships aren’t as fulfilling as you hope them to be. If emotions (anger, anxiety, fear, sadness, hurt, disappointment, etc.) are taking a bigger space in your day to day then you’d like them to. Exploring the areas you get stuck, the patterns you repeat, and learning new ways to manage challenges and participate in relationships might be the right step for you. Therapy can be a safe place to process life changes or struggles and to set goals on the path of personal growth. You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy.

Suffering is a part of life. It is something we all have in common, yet can feel so alone and isolated in. It can present in many ways, whether it been through depression, anxiety, anger, and it can impact many areas of our lives such as activities of daily living, our ability to function socially and cognitively, and our adaptability to stress. For some, being resilient in the face of struggle comes naturally whereas for others, this is something we must actively work towards. Through the therapeutic process, I strive to help you to uncover your own resiliency and inner strength to persevere in the face of struggle.

Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Counsellors
How does solution-focused therapy work?
The treatment works by helping a client notice which behaviours and thoughts have positive results on their lives and building a plan around how to maximise these strengths. Practitioners of solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) believe that individuals already have the experience, wisdom, and resilience to create change in their lives, but may need a guide to help them realise which changes to make and how to make them.
Is solution-focused brief therapy evidence-based?
Yes. Solution-focused brief therapy has been extensively studied, and researchers find strong evidence that it’s an effective treatment for many behavioural and psychological concerns. This may be due to the uplifting nature and practicality of the treatment, which allows patients to employ strategies to reach their goals that are incremental and achievable.
How long does solution-focused brief therapy last?
Solution-focused brief therapy, as the name implies, is brief. The timeline may vary from person to person, given the challenges they face and their situation in life, but treatment is typically complete within four to eight sessions. This therapy type is a pragmatic one: it’s concerned more with “how” problems can be addressed and improved than getting to the root of “why” they exist in the first place.
Is solution-focused brief therapy a type of cognitive behavioural therapy?
Solution-focused brief therapy is related to cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)in that both are pragmatic approaches that deal less with gaining a full understanding of the cause of a mental health problem and more with creating plans for how to cope with these problems and improve an individual’s day-to-day life. They are distinct, however, in that SFBT emphasises building on strengths and resources, while CBT focuses on changing negative thoughts and behaviours.
