I work with Children, Teens, and Adults of all ages. During trying times in our lives we often need someone to help us navigate our thoughts and emotions to find the new way forward. Often emotions get the better of us when they control our actions with outbursts, anger, shouting and generally being in a 'bad mood'. Focusing on recognising and managing emotions can be the start of a new chapter. Sometimes just feeling completely overwhelmed by your situation can feel like you are drowning, developing the skills to sort through what is happening and find a clear path ahead can alter your way of looking at the world.

My ideal client would need assistance with a psychiatric illness or a stressor that arises from an event or life situation, or need help in dealing with conflict in interpersonal relationships. Their goals would be to sort out the immediate difficulty in their lives but also to gain some insight into their personality and why they respond to various situations the way they do. Ultimately, I want my clients to walk away with a sense of accomplishment, even if they haven't resolved the initial issue that led them to seek treatment
