I offer concessionary rates for low income, past and present military personnel, emergency responders and those experiencing suicidal ideation.
My experience as an emergency responder, in life-threatening situations, shapes the way I work as a therapist: providing a grounding presence, with expertise and candour, and able to stay with you through what is difficult without retreating from it.
I have over twenty years’ experience working with people whose lives have been impacted by stress, anxiety, abuse, war, addiction, homelessness, abandonment, pressure to provide, phobias, social media and fame, and depression. I also work with people who struggle with behaviours they’re not proud of, want to understand themselves better so they can be kinder to themselves and others.

If you are at a point in life where you feel stuck or at a point of crisis, and it's preventing your ability to enjoy things as you have normally, you may be needing some extra help to find a way forward. Or if one or more of your relationships with others is becoming difficult, and you don't know why, then this can indicate you are struggling. If your inner world is feeling desperate or muddled and too difficult to manage alone, then counselling can be a positive step in trying to change that. To sit and explore your story and feelings with someone can be powerful in unblocking difficult feelings and to understand what you need.

Holding space for individuals who are experiencing short or long-term difficulties is an honour. I commit to sitting alongside my clients as they explore and discover whatever it is that has motivated them to find a counsellor. My clients are actively seeking ways to increase their self-awareness, face their fears, and embrace self-acceptance. In doing so they may develop the tools and in some cases, the confidence and knowledge, to live their lives authentically and safely.

Do you ever feel anxious, numb, or like you’re carrying a weight you can’t quite name? Many of the people I work with describe feeling stuck, distant from themselves, or quietly believing they’re not good enough, a feeling that echoes through their relationships, work, and inner world. Sometimes they’re navigating grief, loss, or a painful ending, or carrying early experiences of neglect or disconnection that have left them feeling emotionally overwhelmed.

Suicidal Ideation Counsellors
How does therapy for suicidal ideation work?
Stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances can give rise to suicidal thinking. Therapy can address the events at the core of an individual’s suffering. Understanding why a person may be suicidal can help the therapist and the patient discover alternative methods of coping. A person with suicidal ideation may be mired in catastrophic thinking, and treatment like cognitive behavioural therapy is a good choice for breaking such patterns. In addition, treatment such as acceptance and commitment therapy can help a person manage their distress through better emotion regulation.
Which therapies are best for suicidal ideation?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioural, dialectical behaviour, psychodynamic, acceptance and commitment therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioural and dialectical behaviour therapies are two widely used therapies that can help individuals with painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual tolerate distress, regulate emotions, and not act on dangerous urges.
Are there specific medications to be combined with therapy?
The use of medication for suicidal thoughts must be aligned with the underlying cause; conditions such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis may be at the root of suicidal ideation. A psychiatrist may prescribe medications for symptoms, which may include antipsychotics such as aripiprazole or antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.
How often and how long are therapy sessions for suicidal ideation?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Patients may see improvement within 15 to 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, perhaps, a six-month period. Still other patients, especially those with co-occurring conditions like major depression and anxiety, may need to continue sessions for up to 12 to 18 months. In some cases, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm.
