You might be here because something isn’t sitting right – in your life, relationships, or how you feel about yourself. Perhaps you’re carrying more than feels manageable, or you’re at a crossroads and unsure what comes next. At different points, we can all find ourselves feeling lost, overwhelmed or disconnected from who we are. When life feels challenging, confusing or out of balance, it can help to have a place where you don’t have to hold it all together on your own. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or not quite yourself, I offer a warm, supportive space where you can explore what’s happening and find a way forward.

Bearing witness to the collapse of multiple systems, more of us grow increasingly estranged from the values of capitalism. Watching the legacy of colonialism play out before us on the world stage while living with it inscribed on our bodies can push us to the edge of despair. Psychotherapy in this time and place calls for Radical Hope. Audre Lourde said "The masters tools will never dismantle the masters house.". Decolonizing psychotherapy acknowledges the past, centres us in the present and actively constructs the future.

Creative therapy is another option that I offer which helps us find ways to bypass our often rigid cognitive thinking and find helpful insights.
Hello, my name is Tanya. As a counsellor- psychotherapist for over 25 years and a supervisor for 15, I continue to see how helpful counselling can be. Are you finding life tough, trying to deal with stress, anxiety, loss, feeling low or depressed or the impact of spiritual issues, chronic health conditions, or abuse and trauma? I am sorry you are having to struggle - life can get us down and sometimes the most courageous thing we can do is to seek some support. In our first session you can tell me what you are dealing with and see if it feels ok to work with me. I am a somatic and trauma counsellor.

Most of the people I work with are in their 20s and 30s and have spent years being the reliable one. The one who keeps going, keeps everyone happy, and somehow holds everything together. From the outside, they often look like they're coping. Inside, they're exhausted. Many come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or questioning what they actually want from life. They may struggle with anxiety, ADHD, burnout, low self-worth, people-pleasing, or repeating the same relationship patterns. Together, we make sense of what's beneath the surface so they can stop living on autopilot and start making choices

I am an integrative therapist which means that I use elements of different psychological ideas to inform the most appropriate way of working with you. A background in the creative arts enriches and supports my practice.

How does art therapy work?
The process of making art allows people to express themselves. Art-making can take many forms, such as painting, collage, or sculpting. The therapist asks questions that the work elicits, such as how the person felt while creating their piece, or if any memories surfaced that they can discuss. The therapist will then work with the patient to process their experience, understand themselves better, and work toward change.

Does art therapy help with trauma?
Art therapy can be a valuable treatment option for those suffering from trauma. Traumatic experiences such as combat, rape, or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. The physical nature of creating art can also help people feel rooted in the body, which may benefit those who feel disconnected from their body in the aftermath of trauma.

How long does art therapy last?
The duration of art therapy varies, but a common length for treatment is 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Some people may see improvement in just a few weeks, while others may choose to remain in therapy longer term. Patients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.

What are the limitations of art therapy?
Art therapy is helpful for many people, but a limitation is that it doesn’t have as robust an evidence base as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. The evidence on art therapy is mixed; some research demonstrates its benefits, while other research suggests that it has little impact on patients.
