We can all struggle at times but I find it's best not to do this alone, so let's talk about it. Sometimes an outside perspective can help to highlight blindspots in our thought patterns and in our routine ways of being.
Trust, confidentiality and being a positive support in the midst of someone's difficulties are the cornerstones of counselling. Let's meet in a safe space where you can share your story and we'll see what work we can work on, together.
Feeling understood by and having a sense of connection with your counsellor will put you in the best position for a more comfortable experience and promote deeper work together.

I specialise in Grief and Bereavement Therapy. This includes Living Bereavement (where a loved one is diagnosed with a life limiting illness), and individuals who have gone through, or about to undergo, a significant life change.

Emotional abuse may go undetected by the person experiencing it, at that time, but it can lead to low self worth, stress and anxiety disorders, depression, weak immune system and other health issues, poor self awareness, and attracting other abusive relationships.

My clients often want to feel more in control, more connected, and more at peace in their daily lives. They’re seeking a space where they can be themselves without judgment, and where their culture, identity, and story are respected. If that sounds like you, I’d love to hear from you. You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply unsure where to turn next. Maybe you're navigating anxiety, grief, ADHD, or the weight of past trauma and you're looking for someone who truly listens and understands.

Geriatric and Seniors Counsellors
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, dementia, and physical mobility challenges.
How can geriatric 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.
How is counselling for elderly different from counseling for other age groups?
Many aspects of geriatric counselling are similar to counselling in younger 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. However, therapists who specialise in working with elderly clients 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.
Can geriatric counselling help people who suffer from dementia?
Counselling can be highly effective for aging adults with dementia. While some therapists specialising in dementia may work with clients solely on topics surrounding memory loss, they can also assist clients with conditions that may co-occur at old age, such as anxiety or depression. Counsellors specialising in working with older adults can also offer an objective assessment of a client’s functioning or disease progression to caregivers, and they may be particularly knowledgeable about community resources that may benefit dementia clients and their families. Therapists specialising in dementia may also be trained in specialised forms of therapy for memory loss, such as Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST)—which can help mentally stimulate dementia clients to preserve cognitive functioning.
