I work with relationship issues, codependency, abuse, trauma,anxiety, dysregulation, depression, bereavement as well as general counselling and psychotherapy.
Therapy provides a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviors; whether you are in crisis, needing support, or you want to make changes in your life. Here you will be met with acceptance, empathy and compassion as you begin your unique journey. I view each client as an individual and believe if given the appropriate conditions, the client will develop an awareness and insight into themselves to help overcome their challenges. I work relationally and collaboratively with the client. Research identifies the best outcome for the client centres on the therapeutic relationship.

If you are searching for a counsellor, then you are likely going through some event in your life that is causing distress and possibly impacting your day-to-day quality of living. We go through so much in life that we don’t feel adequately prepared for, because how could we? Coming to counselling provides a confidential, impartial space to explore what your own uniquely individual experience is. How we experience life events and the strategies with adopt to cope, is influenced and shaped by so many things that at times it can feel overwhelming and difficult to navigate, and this is where coming to counselling is so beneficial.

Nosce Te Ipsum. Therapy begins with a dialogue about what indeed brought the client into the therapeutic setting. Clients’ thoughts, feelings and experiences provide much of the fodder for a therapeutic dialogue. Much of the work in therapy involves making sense of these thoughts and emotions. The therapist educes the client’s stories; clients narrate and share them. This integrative framework provide the lens in which I listen and connect to the narratives and presenting issues of my clients. As the tempo takes its momentum, a gradual progression of humanistic kinship, trust and understanding between my client and I are entrenched.

Sometimes in life we experience overwhelming times where we feel unseen, unheard or misunderstood. In this place we can feel depression, anxiety, grief, loss, isolation and have a sense that we are disconnected from our true selves. Coming to therapy can feel dauting and so I offer a safe confidential space where one can explore their presenting issues through the lens of their internal and external worlds, identifing their needs and goals. We gently challenge established thoughts and behaviours as we move through a journey of self discovery, awareness, and acceptance in a warm, empathic, supportive & non-judgemental environment.

You may be coming to therapy because life feels difficult or painful right now. Perhaps you feel stuck in repeated patterns, struggle to communicate, or notice that relationships leave you feeling anxious, disconnected or overwhelmed. Often, there is a sense that something isn’t working but it's hard to know how to change it. Many people want a greater understanding of themselves in relationships, more ease in connecting with others and the confidence to relate in ways that feel healthier and more satisfying.

Ideal clients are people who look fine on the outside but feel stuck inside: anxiety, overwhelm, trauma triggers, OCD patterns, grief, addiction, burnout, or relationship stress. They come because they can’t switch off, sleep is poor, emotions feel too much or nothing, and the same patterns keep repeating. I help by getting to the root cause, not just managing symptoms. I specialise in trauma-informed psychotherapy and use practical tools clients can use in real life to feel calmer, clearer, and back in control.

You might have been functioning at a high level, professionally or relationally, holding it all together for yourself and often for others too. You can probably name many inner resources that have helped you get where you are, and you might be known for being empathetic, organised, active or wise. You may even be the first in your family to have come this far through expatriation, higher education, building a family of your own or a successful career. It often comes at a cost, and this may be why you're here. If some areas of life feel heavy right now, it's okay to ask for support. This could be your space to feel, heal and grow.

Quote Pema Chodron- 'Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know'. It takes a brave person to reach out to another, whether it is for help with an issue you are already aware of, or as a means of understanding yourself a bit better. We can all become 'stuck'. I believe the potential to grow and heal comes from within. Alot of our life's struggles are relational, how we are in relation to our view of ourselves and how we experience the quality of our connection to others.

Codependency Counsellors
What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.

What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.

How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.

What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
