Your yearning for joy, creative expression, and contentment may be your psyche/ soul’s way of telling you that it’s time to cultivate inner connections. If you need support in quieting the external chatter, to tune into your inner wisdom, I'm here to hold space for you. Expressing yourself and authentically relating to others can be challenging if you are struggling with overwhelming or numbed emotions. I offer counselling and EMDR therapy for those with trauma (religious, childhood or otherwise), support for creative people, and those feeling depressed, anxious, or who wish to deepen their connection to purpose and meaning.

Some clients see me for relationship struggles, or find it hard to trust their partner and/or feel insecure in relationships. Clients also see me for perfectionism, sleep issues, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, sports performance, enhanced self confidence, body image, self worth and self esteem.

What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?

Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.

What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?

There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviours. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.

Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?

Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.

How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?

​​Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
