​My name is Olive, and I am a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I believe Counselling / Psychotherapy is a very empowering journey to discover our True Self. We can be very self-critical with ourselves, through negative self-talk, guilt and criticism. My goal is to help my client work through their issues, and reach a place of self-acceptance, and contentment. My Therapeutic Approach is adapted to each individual person, as everyone has different life experiences, and reacts differently to life’s events. I work with what best suits the person in front of me, and their presenting issues.

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.

I work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, OCD, ADHD, autism, depression, relationship difficulties, or LGBTQIA+ mental health. What brings people to me varies. Sometimes, it's something specific, like intrusive thoughts or a relationship that's struggling; sometimes, it's a more general feeling that things aren't working the way they want them to. I have firsthand experience with ADHD, OCD, and anxiety, which means I understand what these things actually feel like day to day. I work in blocks of four to six sessions with a review, so we can check that the work is going in the right direction.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or aware that something in your life seems off kilter, therapy can offer a space to pause, reflect, and begin to understand what’s really going on for you. Many of the people I work with are experiencing anxiety, stress, burn-out, or a sense of feeling lost or lacking direction—even if things may appear “fine” on the surface. I have a particular interest in working with people who want to live more authentically—developing self-awareness, finding meaning and direction, and addressing old wounds that may still be shaping how they feel, relate, and move through life.

Sometimes life can look okay on the outside but not feel right on the inside. You might find yourself constantly overthinking, carrying the weight of past experiences, feeling disconnected from yourself or others, or wondering why you keep repeating the same painful patterns. I offer a warm, supportive space where you can speak openly, feel heard without judgement and begin to make sense of your experiences.

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.

Sleep or Insomnia Counsellors
How effective is treatment for insomnia?
The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.

Are there specific medications for sleep problems?
There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.

Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?
There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.

What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?
Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
