Anxiety, low mood, trauma, difficulty coping – Life can feel overwhelming at times! Life Story Psychology provides a place to better understand what’s going on for you. It’s a space to explore how our current experiences link to earlier life circumstances, our attachment and relationship experiences, possible traumas, and sense of self and self-worth. By exploring our values, our primary needs, emotional experiences and general coping, we discover our true selves, become more aware of how we function and how to nurture our body and our mind - to heal, to learn, to find contentment.

Perhaps you are dealing with grief or bereavement, chronic illness or disability, are having relationship difficulties or are struggling with anxiety and depression. Perhaps you are simply feeling the need for change in your life but are unsure of what that change might look like. I work with a wide range of people and issues, always starting from where you are at. I believe that when you feel supported, positive change can occur.

Supporting adolescents, young adults and adults when they're experiencing stress, anxiety, depression and other related issues, causes can be triggered by relationship issues, school and workplace bullying, lack of self-identity confidence, attachment challenges, as well as worries about future direction, self-doubt, lack of self-esteem, motivation and especially more recently lockdown impacts due to COVID. Additionally leveraging from 25 years in human resources, I also provide guidance for adolescents, young adults and adults in navigating their career pathways and how to negotiate working relationships in the most affective way.

A wish to get better, and a willingness to look inside oneself. These are the only essentials for success in therapy. I enjoy helping people with OCD and rumination to regain a sense of agency over their mind, people with depression to understand what is happening inside themselves that is causing their suffering and free themselves from it, people with PTSD to feel safe again and gain self-compassion and heal their nervous system, people with difficulty in relationships to understand what is happening and operate more smoothly, and helping people with many other difficulties to heal and move forward.
