Do you feel like your brain works differently to everyone around you? Like you're constantly overwhelmed, misunderstood, or struggling to keep up, especially in your relationships?
Many of my clients arrive feeling like they're "too much" for some people and "not enough" for others, exhausted by trying to hold it all together. Whether that's repeating patterns you can't explain, recovering from a difficult relationship, or trying to understand yourself better as a partner, parent or child. You're not broken.

How to explain what counselling is... If you're holding a cup of coffee and somebody accidentally bumps into you, you will most likely spill a drop or two, or depending on the bump impact a few spoonfuls or more. If there had been tea or something else in your cup, the result would be the same. Your emotions and feelings are like the coffee, because sometimes when life comes along and shakes you (which will happen to us all) whatever is inside your cup will spill out. Sometimes life can be easier until you get bumped.....but then you may need somebody to talk to, this is where counselling can help.

You can get used to almost anything. That is part of the problem. How alone it feels. How long it has been carried without anyone really seeing it. How tiring it is to keep performing fine while something underneath quietly does not feel fine at all.
Some things are hard to say out loud. That you are not as okay as you look. That you resent people you love. That part of you checked out a long time ago and has been performing the rest.
Most people do not come to therapy because something dramatic happened. They come because they are tired of carrying it alone. That is reason enough. We can start there.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
