Whether you're feeling stuck, anxious, burnt out, or simply ready for something to shift, counselling can help you find clarity, compassion and direction.
I offer a calm, reflective space where you can explore what's happening in your life and make sense of how past experiences may still be influencing you today. My approach is psychodynamic, which means we look at the patterns that repeats - in relationships, self-talk and emotions - and begin to understand where they come from and how they can change. Therapy with me isn't about fixing who you are, but about understanding yourself more deeply so you can live with greater ease and self-awareness.

I have experience in bereavement and loss issues, as well as in anxiety, relationship issues, and drug and alcohol addiction, along with many other concerns that can affect and overwhelm our every day lives.
Everybody struggles sometimes and talking about whatever may be troubling us helps us to explore our inner feelings. However, considering counselling can feel a bit daunting. Often, we are so used to putting others before ourselves that it can almost feel selfish to take care of ourselves so we just try to 'get on with it'. It can be difficult to take that first step but I can provide a safe space where I will work compassionately with you to help explore whatever may be troubling you. It can be healing to speak to someone outside of your own circle who can be non judgemental and empathic.

We work with a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, relationship difficulties, parenting & family problems, identify, grief, and loss.
It’s normal, at some point, to get stuck, or to struggle facing life's challenges. Sometimes we know exactly what’s wrong but at other times we might just have a nagging sense that something isn’t quite right. Therapy can help by supporting you to explore the roots of your distress, understand more clearly what’s keeping you stuck, and create new ways to think about yourself and your relationship roles and patterns. By uncovering the obstacles holding you back, you can learn to problem-solve, make better choices, practise healthier coping strategies, and turn your goals into realities to find a greater sense of peace and fulfilment.

There are troubling things happening in the world right now and the experiences we describe as anxiety, depression, and burnout are rational, understandable responses to a society that expects us to live in ways that hurt us.
My approach is never about offering you answers or imparting wisdom, it’s about being your companion as you work things out for yourself – and I believe fiercely that everyone can do exactly that within a therapeutic relationship defined by safety and a complete absence of judgement.

I have already been able to help many people overcome a multitude of problems such as multiple anxiety disorders, depression, suicidal ideations, and addiction.
CBT can help with many issues. It focuses on cognitions (thoughts), emotions, and behaviours and explores how these intertwine and can lead us to becoming “stuck” in unhelpful patterns and cycles. CBT helps to build coping mechanisms, and works to replace unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with more positive ones, breaking these unhelpful cycles.

Anxiety Counsellors

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.

What are the most common types of treatment 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.

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.
