I work largely in the psychodynamic model but always remain flexible to offer the best possible help. I encourage open-ended therapy for the most opportunity for change, growth, and support but also I am happy to offer time-limited/short-term therapy if that is what might suit you better. I am registered with all the major private healthcare providers should you wish to apply via them. Please see my website for more details

Undertaking psychotherapy can be a daunting task, especially nowadays when there is so many different types of therapy available. It can be overwhelming. In my approach, I believe that each individual situation is unique and through my experience of working with teenagers and their families as well as
adults
in individual and group modalities and couples, I learned to develop a sensitive ear to my client’s needs. As humans we all struggle at times either due to some external or internal pressures or the combination of both. However, I believe that facing difficulties with compassion and open mind, can be liberating.

I have experience working with young people and
adults
including survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) in addition to a variety of mental health/emotional difficulties such as depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, complex trauma, relationship difficulties, low self-worth and low self-concept.
I am aware of the difficulty in making the decision to seek counselling and how overwhelming the process of finding the right counsellor can be. It can be a lonely journey when you are feeling overwhelmed, Counselling provides clients with the opportunity of having someone to explore and help to make sense of their emotions and thoughts. When we struggle with low self concept and shame, we may become stuck due to fear of being exposed (vulnerability). If this is not explored and understood its roots then it could manifest into other emotional issues such as anxiety and depression. Therapy can teach you helpful/healthy coping tools.

I have 15 years of experience working in Mental Health with children,
adults
and groups.
Most people experience anxiety or depression at some point in their lives and need to cope with pain and confusion. You may feel stuck and unmotivated or need to work through a traumatic experience from your past so you can move on with your life. You might also experience work related stress or be dealing with relationship difficulties. Self-development may also be the reason for seeking therapy. Therapy provides an opportunity to explore and make sense of your difficulties in a safe, non-judgmental environment, to develop your self-understanding and improve your relationships.

What type of mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist, psychologist, or counsellor, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.
