Counselling for Seniors in Belvedere
As an integrative counsellor, my approach is grounded in the belief that no single therapy fits everyone. We are all shaped by our unique experiences, relationships, and challenges, and effective therapy should reflect that. I draw from a range of therapeutic model including Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, and CBT.
You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, low mood, difficulties, stress, trauma, or a general sense that something in life isn’t quite working.

Therapist specialising in OCD, Anxiety and PTSD, with ADULTS and children. Anxiety can stop you living the life you want, intrusive thoughts and constant worry can make coping with everyday life difficult. Trauma can lead to frightening flashbacks that leave you feeling stuck, unsafe or alone. In children, these difficulties often appear as big emotions, avoidance, sleep issues or behaviours that families struggle to make sense of.
I understand how consuming and isolating these challenges can be. The good news is that OCD, anxiety and PTSD are highly treatable with the right support.

I believe every relationship carries a unique story shaped by culture, family, faith, trauma, personality, and the nervous system. When couples struggle, it’s rarely about a lack of love — something in the system has become overwhelmed, unheard, or unprotected. I help partners slow down, feel safe, and truly hear each other with both their hearts and their nervous systems. My approach is gentle, direct, and respectful of each person’s story, including attachment needs, protective parts, cultural influences, and (where wanted) Christian faith.

Do you want to talk to someone impartial about your difficulties? If you feel stuck in your life, psychoanalytic psychotherapy will help you to bring about change. I believe everyone should be listened to especially when experiencing emotional distress. I have experience working with people dealing with depression, anxiety, various forms of trauma, as well as broader questions around identity, sexuality and relationship issues. I am interested in a reflective approach to the meaning of life in addition to questions around human suffering, drawing on many years of studying philosophy and psychoanalysis.

We all walk our individual paths, and throughout life, challenges arise that can leave us feeling disconnected, lost, ashamed and more. These difficulties shape who we are, how we interact with others and our reality. Through this, we may develop patterns of behaviour as a means of survival from traumatic experiences and suppressed emotions, these can limit our sense of self and expression.

Therapy is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves, a courageous undertaking often time-consuming, financially demanding, and at times emotionally painful. My passion is to support people in reconnecting with their autonomy and taking ownership of their lives.
I use a collaborative approach that helps us explore thoughts and feelings with curiosity rather than judgment. We begin with a genogram to gain insight into early life experiences and the relationships that shaped us. From there, we identify patterns in how we relate to ourselves and others, so we can begin to make meaningful and lasting change

Many people come to therapy not because life has fallen apart, but because they’ve been holding things together for a long time. You may look capable and steady on the outside, yet feel tired, distant, or quietly overwhelmed inside. You might have coped for years, supported others, or kept going through experiences that never fully had space to be processed. Often, the struggle isn’t dramatic or visible — it’s a sense of disconnection, emotional shutdown, or carrying something in the body that hasn’t eased with time. Many people who arrive here are emotionally aware and reflective, yet sense that insight alone hasn’t been enough.

See More Seniors Counsellors 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.
