I have experience helping people work through personal issues, trauma, anxiety, fear, frustration, stress, depression, anger, loneliness, illness, relationships and low self esteem.
As an integrative and person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist, I put the emphasis on our working together; collaboratively exploring what you want from your therapy time. The advantage of working interactively means that I use tools from different therapeutic approaches so that therapy is flexible and tailored specifically to you.

If childcare is a challenge, please don’t worry, your little ones are always welcome to join you in sessions.
I’m a qualified and registered person-centred counsellor and I’m passionate about supporting younger women to feel more confident in themselves. I believe you have the answers within, and I can support you with low self-esteem, anxieties and relationship difficulties. We can do this together by building a trusting therapeutic relationship, which can then positively impact on your relationship with yourself and others. I can also support you with relationship endings, managing grief and setting boundaries with others. As a mama myself, most of my practice focuses on perinatal and postnatal support.

As an anxiety specialist, I help people out of survival mode by understanding the source of their fears, regulating their threat system, and de-escalating fear to prevent panic attacks.
I support individuals who are suffering with deep rooted issues and who feel ready to find the root cause of their pain. The Incorr Method enables people to connect with unconscious traumatic material and resolve unprocessed emotional, mental, physiological, and physical pain. This particular therapy is commonly long-term, due to the depth we go to.

What are the most common treatments 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.

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.

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.
