I work with clients who deal with Anxiety, Stress, Loneliness, Relationship and Family Issues, Depression, Addiction, Identity Crisis, Abuse, Panic Attacks, Eating Disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Phobias, Post Traumatic Stress, Low Self Esteem.
Viewing these interconnected parts of our lives from different perspectives makes something inside us “shift” and begins a transformation in how we perceive and experience ourselves and others. Once that moment is recognised, a profound change towards a better life – through the understanding of our deeper conflicts, motivations and impulses – can start.

I work with clients who are experiencing Heightened Anxiety, Low mood/depression, Early parenting issues, Stress, Bereavement and loss.
Despite our best efforts, there are particular times when life can become difficult and situations can become overwhelming. It is in this place one often starts to consider the support found in Counselling and Psychotherapy. As Kubler-Ross wrote: People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.

I specialise in couples and one-to-one therapy working with challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress & men's related issues.
Mental health challenges, men's issues and relationship difficulties are far more common than you might think. Far less common is the number of people courageous enough to overcome these challenges. The only way to overcome the challenges you're facing is to confront them head on. I know it takes a huge effort to do that but together, it can be achieved.

There can be times in our lives when we feel lost, not know how to be in the world……when familiar patterns become obstacles and can result in feeling anxious, scared, or stuck.
While working with your emotions, thoughts and behaviors you can begin to see how these may stem from coping strategies developed at a young age. Our working together creates a safe relational container that supports your understanding of how you are in the world.

What are the most common treatments 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.

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.

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.
