Therapists in M5H

I work with people who seek a mindful and heart-centred way of resolving traumas, limiting beliefs, stuck emotions, and other blockages. If you want to gently but effectively shed inner patterns that have been holding you back, I am here to help you work on the deepest of levels. We may be a particularly good fit if you have an interest in the domains of intuition, spirituality, or connection to something beyond the self.

I'm passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges and cultivate meaningful change through psychotherapy. My goal is to provide a safe and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. Through a combination of evidence-based techniques and compassionate support, I aim to empower you to overcome obstacles, cultivate self-awareness, and create positive change in your life.

If you're reading this, you've already made one of the bravest steps towards help and life-long change. One reason I started Centred Self Psychotherapy is because I wanted to ensure clients get incredible psychotherapists, who are self-aware, passionate & skilled. At Centred Self, we believe that psychotherapy is first and foremost about relationship – to be able to delve into even the scariest of topics with someone that you trust. We do not practice a ‘band-aid’ approach, but work to create lasting change, getting to the root of what's going on. We also offer Reduced Cost Therapy with our student clinic, and EMDR with Gina Lihou.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious or burnt out, finding yourself on edge, down, and doubting yourself? You may worry about things you have said or done "wrong" in a day. It's hard to say no - to find the time and energy to take care of your needs. You may feel guilty more often than not. There may be a sense, even when things are seemingly going well, that you may have overlooked something or something "bad" is around the corner. Do you question if you're the problem - that something is wrong with you and that you just can't hack it? Whether others know or it or not, you just don't feel that comfortable in your own skin.

I am a passionate therapist with over 11 years of counselling, crisis intervention, and case management experience. It is my privilege to support and guide you on your journey as you gain deeper insight into your life and your needs. You may be going through a change or a difficult time in your life, I can help you through it. Self-awareness and self-acceptance lead to growth and balance. Explore. Express. Evolve.

Do you wish things were different? I work with diverse clients facing life's transitions and challenges. My theoretical framework is relational, using both talk therapy and/or creative/expressive arts modalities. Following your lead, I listen/witness and attune carefully in order to attend to your specific need. We start with where you are most comfortable, which means that talking, imagery, dreamwork and silence are all welcome. Although I work flexibly between short term talk therapy (psychodynamic psychotherapy) and expressive/creative arts, we safely build our relationship, while co-creating in our therapeutic studio space.

How to find hope? If you are feeling STUCK, engaging in therapy can help you get MOVING again. Usually, you are someone on the MOVE, adapting to challenges, always ready for the next stage, with confidence and a SMILE! But this time it’s different. You may feel trapped. Pressing ahead and making desired change is hard. You may be struggling with finding yourself, a lack of meaning in your life, difficulty managing relationships, or processing emotions and unresolved trauma.

Accepting New Clients; No Waitlist - I guide adults to connect with the evidence and knowledge gained from their experiences to transform their relationships with themselves and others. Come to my practice if you want to experience the three MMLC guiding principles that will restructure your thinking patterns by guiding you into accessing the knowledge you hold (you being the expert in your experiences), joining it to your present day self with everything you have learned (subconscious into the conscious), and guiding you into creating a new knowledge base rooted in authenticity, empowerment, and valuable connections (neuro-pysch)
