Counselling – or therapy – has been around for thousands of years; providing people with the tools to manage depression, anxiety, frustration, and anger. It can help improve relationships with family and friends, increase your self-confidence, and improve your decision-making skills.

Sometimes you just need someone to talk to, an impartial ear to help you through a tough time, or someone to help provide insight into a particular situation and how to manage it.

As a Psychologist, I work with clients to set goals that are reasonable, achievable and help to set those goals in motion. Together, we identify any unproductive thoughts and patterns that are keeping you stuck and not allowing you to have the life you want. This new awareness will help you to develop insight, build skills, and make positive changes.

Whether to address a specific issue over a short period of time, revisit therapy as and when you need it or to commit to therapy over longer term to address deep-seated needs, therapy can be both healing and rewarding.

I know first-hand that life isn’t easy especially when we are faced with challenges that almost see impossible to solve. Challenges that leave us feeling destabilized, discouraged and overwhelmed. We will work together as a team to explore what is troubling you and then to discover ways forward to a more meaningful and fulfilling life. 

With family counselling it’s important to first understand the family dynamic. Though it may be tempting for some families to resign themselves to chronic difficulties or specific issues, those that are willing and open to family counselling may find that better family relationships can be achieved.

The potential of family counselling is powerful and can allow the family unit to become stronger and happier.

In couples counselling – and throughout the therapeutic process – it’s important to help both partners see the relationship more objectively.

One of the most important objectives for couples to learn is to stop the blame game. Instead, we work together to give you the tools to slow down any escalating conflict, explore what is happening to cause the conflict, and to work through that conflict in a more loving and supportive way.
