Are you a mother lying awake at 3am, re-reading old texts from your adult child and asking yourself, "Where did I miss it?" Perhaps there's been an argument, a growing silence, or a painful estrangement, and you're exhausted from the worrying and trying to fix things that refuse to be fixed. You are not alone, and you are not a failure. I work with mothers navigating guilt, shame, grief, and the identity crisis that can come when children grow into adults with lives of their own. I'm an active partner in your therapy, which means we will explore different possibilities together and look at what is truly within your power to change.

Lost? No one understands? Helpless and hopeless?
You may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, persistent low mood, or constant self-doubt. Perhaps you overthink situations, struggle with harsh self-criticism, or feel trapped in patterns you can’t seem to break. You might appear capable on the outside but feel exhausted internally. You want relief from racing thoughts, emotional heaviness, or the sense of not being “good enough.” Most of all, you want to feel calmer, more confident, and back in control — to understand yourself deeply and move forward with clarity, resilience, and lasting change.

‘You are the Greatest Project You Will Ever Work On’
As a humanistic integrative counsellor I offer a safe, empathic, non-judgemental space for you to explore the challenges life presents you with.
The therapeutic relationship I can provide you is a confidential space where you can speak openly and honestly, free from fear of judgement or concern about the impact on others, something that often feels different from talking with friends or family.
Counselling is not about telling you what to do, but about helping you connect with your own understanding, strengths, and inner resources.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and physical mobility challenges.
How is counselling for elderly different from counselling for other age groups?
In general, counselling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialise in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counselling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.
How can therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.
What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counsellors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counsellors specialising in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counsellors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
