Do you feel generally happy with your life, but have a specific concern? (such as anxiety about an upcoming event or the illness or death of a loved one), or perhaps you wish to explore elements of your life or relationships more deeply - exploring your past, as well as your current life and your hopes for the future. I would be happy to work with you to improve what we can, or accept what cannot be improved. I tend to work holistically - taking into consideration clients' mind, body, culture, race, spiritual beliefs, age, physical ability, and whatever else seems relevant.

We can all feel stuck in our lives at times including finding ourselves repeating patterns of behaviour that although are impacting negatively on our mental health we cannot seem to change.

Likewise, you might need help processing a difficult life event such as a divorce, the death of a loved one or a traumatic experience.

Life’s challenges can sometimes weigh us down and stop us from being healthy, happy, and successful. Emotional issues such as addictions, anger, anxiety, depression, do not just make us feel bad, but they also jeopardize our futures. Furthermore, problems with families, friends, domestic partners, or spouses can leave us feeling distressed, lonely, and unworthy. Additionally, serious health conditions, financial troubles, loss of loved ones, and other crises can devastate us and make it difficult to get back on track.

To the outside observer the field of psychotherapy offers a bewildering array of approaches.
