You might feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or like you’ve lost your sense of self and want to get your “me” back.
I support adults with anxiety, stress, low mood, and those feeling stuck or overwhelmed. I also work with trauma, including PTSD and childhood experiences that may still affect you today. Together, we’ll explore things at a pace that feels safe, manageable, and real.

Life can feel overwhelming, especially when anxiety, overthinking or emotional exhaustion start to take over.
I am an integrative counsellor, meaning I work in a gentle, relational way, adapting therapy to you rather than fitting you into a model. Our work is shaped by curiosity, honesty and compassion. Together we explore patterns, emotions and experiences with care, allowing understanding and change to emerge naturally, at your pace.

I have also successfully assisted many dealing with the daily struggles concerned to Anxiety and Depression.
Transactional Analysis (TA) examines how we think, feel, and behave based on our past experiences. It helps us understand ourselves, others, and the world around us. TA gets to the root of the problem rather than just dealing with the symptoms.

When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.

What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.

How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.

How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
