Are you facing challenges related to your sexuality or life in general? Sexuality is a deeply personal and authentic aspect of our identity, rooted in our heritage, values, and individual experiences. It encompasses our gender roles, sexual orientation, intimacy, pleasure, and even the legacy of how we connect with ourselves and others. Life, too, with its highs and lows, from career struggles to financial stress, addiction, and more, can challenge our sense of self and sustainability.

Most people just want to be happy. While that can certainly be achieved through counselling, I believe happiness is an emotion, like others, that comes and goes. Instead I work with you to create more peace, joy and fulfilment in your life. These are deeper long-lasting goals that are the foundation of life satisfaction. Over and above the specific concern you wish to work on, I aim to help you connect with who you really are as a person and facilitate the path to who you would like to be.

I can help you manage anxiety, improve relationships, and navigate challenges with children.
Counselling helps clients address various personal challenges, from emotional struggles to physical health goals. Clients typically seek support to improve their mental health, develop healthier lifestyles, overcome life obstacles, and improve relationships. They want practical, actionable guidance in a safe, empathetic environment to help them feel more empowered, balanced, and fulfilled. The ultimate goal is often personal growth, resilience, and greater well-being.

Do I need to attend therapy with my child?

Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.

How long are sessions with child therapists?

Children’s therapy sessions can last 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. The length of the session may depend on your child’s age and the type of therapy practiced. You can discuss this with therapists you consult and the one you ultimately move forward with.

How do I get a child to agree to seek therapy?

The best approach is to have an open-ended conversation with your child about how they’re doing and what they might be struggling with. When you raise therapy, discuss the concept in an age-appropriate way, for example explaining that a therapist’s job is to help kids handle their hard or uncomfortable feelings. Frame therapy positively, as an opportunity to explore and build emotional skills—it’s an important tool in the toolbox to help kids feel their best.

How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?

A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
