Stepping into counselling and looking for a therapist when you are feeling at your most vulnerable can seem very daunting.

I am client-led, I do not offer you advice, but trust that the relationship we develop together will allow you to find what you need. I offer therapy to Adults, Young People and Children (5years plus) and can work creatively.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress or relationships? Perhaps you feel overwhelmed by your emotions, disconnected from yourself, or caught in patterns you don't understand. You may have spent years believing something is "wrong" with you or trying to push painful experiences aside. I believe our difficulties make sense when we understand our story. Together, we'll explore your experiences with curiosity, compassion and care, helping you understand yourself differently. Often, we discover there is nothing "wrong" with you - your mind and body are responding to what you have lived through.

My name is Egita, and I'm a trauma-informed therapist. I am drawn to working with adults who have experienced trauma and childhood sexual abuse. People who have survived sexual abuse may experience anger, fear, shame, guilt, thinking that it’s all my fault. You might feel “you do not matter” or feeling worthless. Experiencing anxiety, panic and flashbacks can make you feel stuck or unsure of yourself, finding it difficult to form trusting relationships with others.
Having counselling, can help you understand what has happened to you, your thoughts, feelings you are going through right now.

Many of the people I work with appear to be coping well on the outside—but internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected.
I specialise in supporting high-achieving professionals who are used to performing at a high level, yet find themselves struggling with stress, burnout, or difficulties in their relationships.
You may be feeling constantly under pressure, overthinking everything, or noticing that your work is starting to impact your personal life. In relationships, this can show up as repeated arguments, emotional distance, or a sense that you and your partner are no longer on the same page.

Hi, I’m Jayne.
You might be navigating the loss of a relationship or someone close to you, feeling stuck in a situation that no longer fits, or carrying a weight that’s hard to name. Life can look fine on the outside, but inside feel unsettled or quietly overwhelming.
I support people who may appear to be coping on the outside, but feel overwhelmed or stuck underneath — including those who have felt misunderstood or under pressure to manage alone. These feelings might follow loss, relationship endings, or work-related stress, or a long-standing sense that something isn’t quite right.

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.
