Many people come to me feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or tired from masking, people‑pleasing, or holding everything together alone. Others describe the quiet exhaustion of being deeply feeling or highly sensitive. I bring both professional training and lived experience, offering a gentle, grounded space where you don’t have to minimise or hide parts of yourself. I support anxiety, low self‑esteem, masking, trauma, neurodivergence and feeling stuck. If things feel difficult, you’re welcome to get in touch.

I believe meaningful change happens when we feel safe enough to bring all parts of ourselves into the room, not just the parts we find easy to accept. I offer a relationship characterised by warmth, curiosity, honesty and acceptance, where we can explore whatever emerges together. Sometimes that may involve understanding the impact of earlier experiences, relationships or attachment patterns. Sometimes it may involve noticing how emotions are held in the body, making space for feelings that have been pushed aside, or recognising the ways you have learned to adapt in order to survive. At other times it may simply mean hav

You might look like you’re coping on the outside. You’re the person everyone relies on, but inside your mind rarely switches off. You replay conversations, put other people’s needs first and often wonder why you’re so exhausted. If that sounds familiar, therapy can help you understand why these patterns developed and begin to change them. I support people who feel overwhelmed, anxious or stuck in patterns of self-doubt, helping them build confidence, understand themselves and navigate life transitions.

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.
