Hello. When life becomes difficult or you are faced with challenges, starting therapy can feel daunting. By providing a safe, non-judgmental and confidential environment for you to discuss issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, anger, loss, trauma, family issues or low self-esteem, I tailor the therapy to meet your needs, and offer both open-ended and short-term psychotherapy.
By offering you a space to share and reflect on emotional, mental, or behavioural issues that may be troubling or difficult to work through, collaboratively we work together to understand your unconscious thoughts, behaviours and emotions.
Through gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and your past experiences, you can begin to feel more in control of your inner world and life; develop new perspectives; and acquire more helpful ways of coping or relating to others.
I have experience working with a wide range of psychological and emotional issues. Some of the areas include:
- Anxiety and Depression: Helping you to identify and overcome symptoms of anxiety, stress, low mood and depression, by providing insight and support to improve your mental health.
- Trauma and Loss: Assisting you in processing and healing from complex and single-event trauma and abuse, as well as navigating bereavements and the grieving process.
- Relationship Difficulties: Addressing challenges in personal and professional relationships, including separation and divorce, sexual problems and loneliness in order to foster better communication and understanding.
- Self-Esteem and Identity: Supporting you to build self-confidence, explore personal identity, and develop a better self-image.
- Work-related Issues: Assisting you in managing work-related stress, addressing career challenges, and finding a healthy work-life balance.
- Life Stages: Helping you navigate and understand life stages including adolescence, post natal depression, menopause, mid life and older years that may impact your mental health and relationships.
- ADHD: helping you with suspected or diagnosed ADHD and neurodiversity to navigate the world and build coping strategies.
