Studies have shown that traumatic childhood events can present in our lives when we reach adulthood leaving us in a state of confusion.
I work mostly by using the integrated approach, which is drawing on the Person-Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic and CBT models. I feel that each model has its own merit, however by incorporating all 3 gives a stronger support program. I can use the models individually if I feel this is a benefit to the client, but this does depend on the individual needs.

Parent- child relations, struggling partner, or friendship issues.
Whatever your issues are , I am happy to listen to you and help you find a way to manage your unhappiness. When there are difficulties that overwhelm you it is good to take time for yourself and reflect on the effect your life is having on you and the people close to you. Many issues cause conflict , anxiety, and depression. It is easy to feel lonely and disconnected from ourselves and the people who matter to us. Some issues are very private and we need a confidential environment to discuss these delicate matters, issues of the heart, the mind, the soul.

Child Counsellors
Do I need to attend therapy with my child?
Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.
How long are sessions with child therapists?
Children’s therapy sessions can last 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. The length of the session may depend on your child’s age and the type of therapy practiced. You can discuss this with therapists you consult and the one you ultimately move forward with.
How do I get a child to agree to seek therapy?
The best approach is to have an open-ended conversation with your child about how they’re doing and what they might be struggling with. When you raise therapy, discuss the concept in an age-appropriate way, for example explaining that a therapist’s job is to help kids handle their hard or uncomfortable feelings. Frame therapy positively, as an opportunity to explore and build emotional skills—it’s an important tool in the toolbox to help kids feel their best.
How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?
A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
