Life is a beautiful challenge. We all face adversity in life, whether this manifests as mental or physical illness, trauma, or difficulty coping with day to day experiences. Therapy is not just about treatment or addressing mental illness, it is a tool that we can all use to develop a better understanding of ourselves and our individual lived experience, and to reconnect with the joy in our lives. Therapy can help us identify thinking and behaviour patterns, address past and present traumas, cope with everyday fears and anxieties, and learn ways to better relate to and understand ourselves, our environments, and other people.

As you begin to relate to yourself with greater kindness and acceptance, life can start to feel lighter and relationships more balanced.
You may have spent years putting others first, always reliable, high-achieving, and holding everything together. Yet inside, you feel self-critical and unsure who you are beyond what others expect. You notice the same patterns repeating; overthinking, people-pleasing, striving for perfection, feeling not good enough.
If this sounds familiar, therapy can offer a space to explore what’s going on. Many clients feel tired of holding it all in, wanting to feel more grounded and authentic. Together, we’ll work to understand what’s behind the anxiety or low self-esteem, and to find ways of responding to life that feels more true to you.

Therapy offers insight and understanding helping you work towards an awareness of the self. It gives the opportunity to discover inbuilt defence mechanisms that perhaps no longer serve the person you have become as a result of the traumas we all experience in life. Counselling can be a quiet, safe space to breathe and think about your life. Who you are, where you are going and what you wish to gain. It can be a space to grieve the losses you have experienced in your life and the changes that happen throughout your life.

I work best with clients ready to be honest, including with themselves, who want a therapist who is supportive but real. Many of the people I work with are navigating mental health, psychosexual difficulties or relationship breakdown, working through racial trauma and identity as Black or brown clients, or are trainee therapists needing a space that understands the demands of training as well as the person underneath it. What brings people to me is often a sense they have outgrown surface-level support and want to go deeper.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counsellors
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
