Welcome to The Mind Lab, where therapy meets curiosity, neuroscience, and practical change. I work with individuals who want to understand themselves more deeply, calm their overwhelmed nervous systems, and build emotional resilience that lasts. My approach combines analysis — understanding the “why” behind your patterns — with tools for change that help you shift the “how” in your everyday life. Drawing on Polyvagal Theory, I help clients recognise how the body holds experiences of trauma, stress, or relationship difficulties, and how learning to regulate the nervous system opens the door to clarity, connection, calm, and healing.

As an IFS-trained-practitioner I support individuals and couples who feel overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out, stuck in repeating patterns, or disconnected from themselves. Many clients come during life transitions, relationship challenges, or when coping strategies no longer feel effective. In our work, I help you slow down, understand your inner emotional world, and meet difficult thoughts and feelings with compassion rather than judgment. Using an IFS-informed approach, we explore the different parts of you that carry stress or protection, so patterns begin to soften and you can reconnect with clarity, steadiness, and self-trust.

You may be self-aware and capable, but still feel trapped in anxiety, burnout, or repeating emotional patterns; therapy can help you shift what insight alone has not changed. I specialise in working with thoughtful, emotionally aware adults who understand their struggles yet still feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in relationship patterns. Together, we explore the deeper drivers behind these experiences and work to shift them so you can regain emotional balance, confidence, and a greater sense of calm and control in your life.

Experience and ability to connect to persons of all age groups, all cultures and all backgrounds. Persons with problems of life do not always want to hear there is something "wrong" with them. Most of the time they can be facilitated to solve their own problems and grow towards more independence and maturity on a personal level. I see it as my task to facilitate change.

Sometimes the greatest source of distress isn't a single event, it's the feeling that you keep living the same story. The same self-doubt. The same relationships. The same ways of coping that no longer serve you. You may know these patterns well, yet still feel unable to change them. You may have spent years trying to understand yourself. You've read the books, listened to the podcasts, talked things through with friends, and perhaps even been to therapy before. Meaningful change begins with understanding. Therapy offers the opportunity to slow down and make sense of those patterns.

I offer individual therapy to adolescents (14+), adults, and elders who are navigating difficult periods of overwhelm, transition, or feeling stuck. This may show up as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, identity exploration, or the nagging sense that change is necessary to shift old, unwanted patterns. My practice is grounded in the belief that meaningful healing happens when we: slow down enough to listen; create safety within the body and mind; explore patterns with curiosity, not judgement; and reconnect with personal values and inner wisdom.

Life presents all of us with complex challenges which are sometimes difficult to manage. E.g. what may be troubling is a recent interpersonal difficulty, or perhaps something unpleasant has happened or is still happening in your workplace (or school/college/university). You may have lost someone you were close to, or perhaps you were the victim of a crime. Alternatively, what may be troubling may be of a more long-standing nature, causing unresolved unhappiness. Or you may feel that life could be more fulfilling than it has been up to now, that it could be a happier, richer experience, with a sense of more well-being and freedom.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Counsellors
How long does OCD treatment take?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.

What happens if OCD is not treated?
Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.

Are there medications for OCD?
Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, and sertraline, among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.

Can OCD come back after treatment?
Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
