You may be feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, stuck, or as though you have spent much of your life trying to cope alone. Perhaps anxiety, burnout, addiction, trauma, or difficult life experiences are affecting your relationships, confidence, or ability to feel comfortable in yourself. You might also feel that you experience the world differently from others or have never quite felt that you fit in.
Reaching out for therapy can feel daunting, but it can also be the beginning of understanding yourself in a deeper and more compassionate way.

I'm an experienced psychotherapist working with relationship and attachment issues, depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. Clients that begin to work with me often do so because they find that their feelings, thoughts or symptoms have begun to affect areas of functioning in life; they find that coping mechanisms that have been helpful in the past are beginning to work less effectively.
My attachment-based approach means that I am interested in your past - our early relationships determine how we connect with others as adults, how we view ourselves, and how we regulate ourselves.

Adults seeking counselling often present with emotional distress, relationship difficulties, identity concerns, or the impact of past experiences. Many feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in unhelpful patterns and are looking for understanding rather than quick solutions. They need a safe, empathic, and non-judgemental space to explore their thoughts and emotions at their own pace. Common goals include developing self-awareness, strengthening self-worth, improving emotional resilience, and building healthier relationships. Ultimately, they seek greater clarity, stability, and a stronger sense of self to live more authentically

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.
