Sometimes, our life circumstances can cause distress such as Anxiety, Depression, Grief and Loss, Loneliness, Anger, or feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
It is evident that distress interferes with our ability to live well, attend to what is important to us and work towards our goals.
In difficult times it can be helpful to be listened to, express our feelings, bring forward our strengths, experience that we are not alone, practice new ways of coping, and find appropriate support
I offer individual counselling for children, teens, and adults and parenting support
My approach is person-centred, trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and gender-affirming -
Modalities I offer: Narrative Therapy, CBT, Sandplay Therapy, Play- and Art-based Interventions, and Specialist support for neurodivergent people (ASD, ADHD, Gifted, etc.)
Interested? Please reach out for a brief phone call to find out more and to see if i may be the right person for you.
