If you are or a loved one are struggling with mental health concerns or just wondering whether therapy might help you reach "the next level" in your personal life or relationship, please get in touch.
In my counselling practice I use an eclectic approach with a client-centred focus to help clients identify their preferred futures, or explore their concerns, challenges, thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. We work together, focusing on solutions, clarifying goals and strategies, eliciting the client’s existing strengths, and incorporating new learnings into everyday life. I use a Solution-Focused Brief Therapy format but can also draw on aspects from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness.

Having been trained as both a psychotherapist and a Yoga psychology teacher, I view life’s experiences as integral to our soul’s journey toward wholeness. By learning from our past and transcending suffering, we cultivate greater awareness, awaken our inner light, uncover our purpose, and recognize our innate qualities & gifts.
My approach integrates the scientific foundations of Western psychology—including psychodynamic & transpersonal perspectives—with the wisdom of Eastern and Indigenous traditions, such as Yoga philosophy & mindfulness. If this perspective resonates with you, I would be honoured to support you on your journey.

These struggles might be linked to past or ongoing trauma, such as violence, abuse, grief, migration, displacement, spiritual or physical loss, neurodivergence, or relationship ruptures, or not If traditional talk therapy is leaving you stuck, why not consider Creative Arts Therapy?

With this in mind, I do my best to build a relationship with you (and your partner or partners) – in which you feel accepted and respected.
My overall approach is largely informed by the non-pathologising perspectives of Narrative Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Relational Psychotherapy, Positive Psychology, Neuroscience, Attachment & Developmental theory. I am a realist and do not believe there is no single theory, therapy, or approach that is right for us all.

While medication and behavioural skills can help soften these symptoms, only psychotherapy can get to the underlying root causes, which almost always occur in the realm of relationship - with yourself and with others.
Anxiety can manifest as nervousness, racing heart, dread, worrying, low sex drive, sleep struggles, panic attacks, or stress. Depression may involve persistent low mood, hopelessness, numbness, guilt, irritability, isolation, suicidal thoughts, confusion, or increased substance use. Relationships with partners, family, or colleagues may bring challenges in communication, emotional conflict, trust, intimacy, or break-ups.
New skills can reduce symptoms and improve relationships. But long-lasting change and new choices in life requires better understanding yourself and addressing the root cause of your issues, even if it takes time.

Relationship Issues Counsellors
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
