I am an accredited, registered and insured counsellor and psychotherapist and provide a warm, non judgemental and grounded presence, in a respectful and confidential space. As a humanistic and integrative therapist, I recognise your individuality in a holistic and positive sense, together with your potential for change. I also see how acknowledging pain or difficulties in the past allows repair in the present. With exploration and understanding, this can lead to greater personal and interpersonal awareness and functioning. Enabling this, I have strong belief in the trusting therapeutic relationship we can create.

We all get stuck, lost and don't know which path to take at times. We often then get into patterns to help us manage, we stop doing things that make us anxious, we drink or eat more for example, but these behaviours don't always connect with the person we want to be or the life we want to live. I want to help you to get back to the things that matter to you. I offer 1:1 online and The Space to Be outdoor therapy groups to children, young people and adults. Nature is a powerful ally in therapy and having fun and creating provides opportunities to learn skills that can positively impact on your day to day life now and future growth.

Hello, I’m Justin. When life has become about getting through each day rather than really living, it can be hard to know where to start. You don’t need to have everything figured out before getting in touch. You might be feeling overwhelmed, struggling with something that’s happened, finding relationships difficult, or simply knowing that something doesn’t feel right. We can start with what’s happening for you now and make sense of it together.

Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, loss or family struggles? Experiencing challenges in your life such as a change in role or pace of life, adjusting to loss, family difficulties, struggling to adapt to unexpected changes, or finding it hard to find your place and know where you fit in? Perhaps you feel frustrated, anxious, unheard or find it difficult to pinpoint just how you feel or quite why you’re feeling this way. Maybe you’re worried about relationships, find it difficult to communicate your needs and want to make changes. It could be that you’ve been bottling up how you feel or have lost your confidence.

Many people reach a point where continuing to cope in the same way no longer feels workable. I work with individuals who feel overwhelmed, or caught in patterns that no longer serve them. This can include navigating high levels of responsibility, performance pressure, complex family relationships, or experiences that have shaped how they relate to themselves and others. I work from an integrative perspective, drawing on a range of psychological approaches and adapting my work to the individual. In practice, this means therapy is shaped around what you need, at a pace that feels right for you.

Psychological distress is one of the most difficult things to overcome, often it consumes you, and you lose yourself. Therapy is about unfolding this, within a safe therapeutic relationship, where you are free to be yourself and find a way through, with me at your side. A key part of my practice, is working with you, rather than the diagnosis or label that you may have acquired. I help clients to disentangle and be free of the things that are holding them back, to become more authentic.

Are you feeling low, anxious, overwhelmed or struggle with low self-esteem? Do you need time to be heard without judgement or space to change? Maybe you have learned to stay strong but the bravery is in feeling your real feelings and working through it. We will work together to help you to manage with any difficult life experience, at the same time as learning to understand its causes. This will help you to feel yourself again (to feel lighter) and will support long term changes, ending unhelpful patterns. The therapeutic relationship that we create together is so important, as I believe it is what supports lasting changes.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and physical mobility challenges.

How is counselling for elderly different from counselling for other age groups?
In general, counselling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialise in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counselling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.

How can therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.

What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counsellors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counsellors specialising in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counsellors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
