I am a Licensed Mental Health Counsellor treating both individuals and couples. I work with clients who are challenged by anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, post -traumatic stress, life transitions, behavioural difficulties and grief. I view personal problems in the context of people's relationship histories, including their earliest relationships, and their current ways of interacting with others and themselves. Change often follows naturally when a person is able to experience difficult feelings such as sadness, vulnerability or anger in manageable doses in the presence of someone who listens and understands their pain.
Couples' work is based on Emotion Focused Couples Therapy, a proven effective treatment in facilitating change during and after therapy.. Through my work as a counsellor with Domestic Abuse, Rape Crisis and Aware I have come to understand the incredible ability people have to turn tragic lived experiences into powerful motivators for growth and resilience.
Taking the first step to engage in therapy may feel overwhelming. However, our mental health directly affects our thinking, feelings and actions. It influences our ability to make choices or to handle challenges. Being mentally healthy helps us to develop positive relationships with ourselves and others, enabling us to lead productive and satisfying lives.
