If you're feeling lost, defeated, trying to navigate difficult emotions, I am here to help support you through your next life chapter. I am an accredited mental health social worker with experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. It can be incredibly difficult to change ongoing negative patterns of behaviour, I work on increasing your awareness of these behaviours and responses, whilst giving you coping skills to change old patterns. Whether your goal is to learn to cope with difficult emotions, understanding your psyche or looking to get "unstuck", we can work together to improve the next phase of your life.
I am friendly, non-judgemental, and have a relaxed approach in therapy. Many people feel shame or guilt if they do not meet their goals. Criticism and punitiveness are never a recipe for improvement without a negative compensation as a result. Compassion, understanding, patience, and guidance is what is most beneficial for your journey.
Picking the right therapist is very important, safety and security will create the right environment to speak about your life journey and positively impact therapeutic outcomes.
