I help adults handle trauma, grief and big life changes. For more rapid change, I offer 1/2-day Therapy Intensives as well as weekly/fortnightly sessions. Are you anxious, overwhelmed, blindsided by life events or exhausted from pretending everything’s fine in your life, work or relationships? Are you struggling to push down past trauma, only for it to push right back up? Maybe you’re flooded with too many emotions at once, so numb that you barely feel anything at all, or you’ve lost a sense of who you are? If you don’t know where to start or find it too daunting to tackle alone, I’m here to help process what’s painful or confusing.
Together, we’ll figure out why you feel the way you do and what you need in order to become clearer, calmer or more confident making choices that are right for you. With curiosity and compassion, we’ll work to understand critical internal voices, connect with parts of you that maybe got a bit lost, and help you find ways to cope with difficult emotions.
To learn more and to get a flavour of what working with me would be like, book a free 20-minute chat. I reply within 24hrs Monday-Friday. I see clients in person, online, by phone and for Walk & Talk therapy. If 50-minute sessions seem too short, or you want to make changes more quickly, my 90-minute sessions or longer Therapy Intensives might be for you.
