Life can feel heavy sometimes, and it’s not always easy to carry everything on your own. Counselling gives you a safe and gentle space where you can let some of that weight down. This is your time — a place where you can talk openly, be truly heard, and know that you won’t be judged.
I believe each of us is unique. We all experience challenges differently, and there isn’t one “right way” to cope. That’s why I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach — I work with you, at your pace, in a way that feels supportive and comfortable for you.

Hi, my name is Paula, I'm an integrative therapist working both face to face and on line. I wonder, when was the last time you allowed yourself to be vulnerable? When did you last talk about things which make you uncomfortable? I wonder, what would the possibilities might look like? Who would you be? What could you achieve? Is it time for change? This isn’t a journey you need to travel alone. We can work on change together.

Most people find themselves in dark or confusing places at times throughout their lives, questioning who they are, wrestling with difficult questions, trauma, illness, addiction or bereavement. Sometimes people don't have anyone to share these challenges with or can't share them with those close to them. Despite proverbs about sharing problems, as a society we don't really encourage people to open up. I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to do this. I hope to offer a space in which you can feel safe and respected while you explore these challenges and move towards improved mental well being.

Sometimes it looks like you’re managing just fine - capable, responsible, the one others rely on. But inside you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or questioning what comes next. You might be carrying grief, burnout, relationship strain, or moving through a life transition that has shifted your sense of self. Many of my clients are professionals, creatives, or high-profile individuals working in high-pressure environments, but therapy isn’t only for people in crisis. If you’re feeling stretched, uncertain, or tired of carrying everything alone, therapy offers space to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface.

I work with people who want to find a deeper sense of meaning and connection and a space to understand themselves more fully. You might feel stuck, unsettled, or held back by past experiences that still affect you. In our sessions, we take time to explore what’s beneath the surface, such as the patterns, emotions, and stories that shape how you experience life. Through a calm, thoughtful, and sometimes creative process, therapy becomes a space for real understanding and growth, helping you move toward a more grounded and fulfilling sense of self.

Discrimination and oppression matters- In a world that doesn't feel safe or welcoming for all. LGBTQI + especially transgender clients—may be negotiating the challenges of isolation, identification, relationships, and self-acceptance. A non judgmental , warm and compassionate space , offering understanding, and assistance in examining past and current difficulties maybe what's needed. I can offer a safe space for clients who wish to improve coping mechanisms, build more genuine relationships, and boost a sense of self-worth.

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.
