We all have times in our life where we may need the support of our family and friends to help us get through. Sometimes though seeking professional support of a counsellor is beneficial to enable you to discuss and work through things you may feel unable to discuss with friends and family. I can work with you on a number of life problems in a way that suits your needs. I will help you become more in touch and aware of feelings, thoughts and barriers in your life. I believe that the counselling relationship is important and work in a way that is beneficial to helping you become more self-aware, authentic and able to move forward.

You may not feel not good enough, overwhelmed by anxiety, self-doubt, or trying to always please others. Comparing yourself to others may make you doubt yourself more. You may struggle with low confidence, setting boundaries, or understanding your emotions — this might be shaped by past experiences, cultural pressures, or difficult relationships. You want to feel more in control, feel heard, build self-compassion, and find healthier ways to cope. Being more aware of your feelings and needs can help with communication. Putting in boundaries for yourself can improve relationships with those around you.

You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin therapy. Some people come with a clear concern; others arrive with a vague sense that something isn’t quite right. Whether you’re struggling with clear difficulties or have a sense that something isn’t working, we can start from your current reality.

You might not be in crisis, but something feels off-centre. Life may look fine on the surface, yet internally things feel unsettled, or harder to carry than before. You may notice familiar patterns showing up in relationships, in how you speak to yourself, or in moments where you feel stuck or disconnected. Perhaps you’re navigating shame or self-criticism, questions of identity or belonging, anxiety, low mood, or a life transition that has stirred more than expected. You may not have the words yet, but just a sense that it’s time to pause and pay attention.

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.
