Whether they are experiencing anxiety, low mood, bereavement, friendship difficulties or changes at home, my approach is patient, warm, supportive and tailored to each child’s individual needs.
I work with adults & children. Adults: You may be feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, or stuck in the same painful patterns in your relationships. Perhaps you overthink, doubt yourself, struggle with boundaries, or feel as though your past is still affecting your present. I offer a warm and welcoming place to help you understand what’s going on underneath these patterns, so you can build confidence, healthier boundaries, a stronger sense of self as well as skills and coping mechanisms that you can take away and use for life.

Perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed with anxiety, going through a crippling and isolating bereavement, or having difficulties in your relationships.
My way of supporting you is grounded in evidence-based research. However, one size does not fit all and we can collaborate to see what does work for you. I believe that through talking and exploring emotions and patterns of behaviour we can find new ways of being and gain insight into ourselves which can give way to change and acceptance.

We are rarely taught the emotional skills required for healthy relationships, communication and genuine partnership. As a psychotherapist, I help individuals and couples understand their emotional patterns, develop greater relational awareness, and build healthier, more secure connections. Therapy provides a safe and supportive space where you can explore your experiences, gain insight into yourself and move towards a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Together we can look at what brings you into therapy and what’s not working for you anymore. You might find yourself stuck in the same patterns in relationships, saying yes when you want to say no, overthinking every interaction, or feeling low and anxious without really knowing why. It can be hard to untangle all of that on your own. In our sessions, you can expect a calm, steady space where you don’t have to edit yourself. We slow things down so you can notice what’s really going on underneath the surface – in your thoughts, your emotions, and sometimes in your body too.

Distress in life can bring about: confusion, pain, self-blame, anger, self-blame, isolation, loneliness, negative coping mechanism and many other symptoms. It is important to know that anyone of us can experience mental distress and there are several reasons why this may happen, including: trauma, difficult life events, early life experiences and biological basis. My job is to people make sense of their concerns, and find balance during these difficult times so that they can get to their optimum level of functioning again.

How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.

When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.

Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.

What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
