Hi I'm Adri, I have 25 years expertise in trauma recovery and mental health. Generally, the coping strategies that we lean into serve us in the short term, but over time they stop working for us. I can hold a safe therapeutic space for you in which we can make sense of your world, you can identify behaviours that are no longer serving you, and you can develop healthy, practical and effective coping strategies. As a relational therapist I seek to improve your relationship to self, others and the world; and will tailor my approach to your specific needs.

Family Systems Counsellors
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
