Sometimes life can totally overwhelm and burn us out on all the Stress, Anxiety, Trauma, Depression and sleepless nights. Often when these times come we feel like we're supposed to just soldier on and let time heal all...just to realize 5 years later that it all still really makes us feel angry and triggered when we think back to it. We end up feeling like this is going to be our normal for the rest of our lives and we adapt, mask, try harder...and none of it helps us cope any better than just surviving through the day. If this is you...things CAN get better! MUCH better! Let me help you heal and live your best life.

Codependency: what exactly is it? It is the need to look outside of ourselves for validation. It manifests as putting others’ feelings, needs, and perceptions before our own. Often, it is unconscious and we don't even realise we do it. It can be extreme or subtle. We are co-dependent when we are pulled by the outside world rather than being in alignment with our true desires and soul path. Co-dependency may look like: a romantic relationship or friendship where you merge into the other, become consumed by their world, lose yourself, do activities that they enjoy, or show an interest in their interests.

I understand that high school and university can be a particularly tough time in people's lives, and I want to be there for people as an ear to listen. Not only schooling itself can be difficult, but every aspect of our lives can be - such as family, friends, extra curricular activities, risk taking, substances, and much more. It is easy to get caught up in issues with those that we are close with, so to work with a fresh set of eyes may be useful. I love learning about people's stories and will work from a non-judgemental frame of mind, because there is nothing to be ashamed of in sharing our stories.

People often come to Freedom Clinical Psychology because they are struggling and feel stuck in their lives. They might feel disconnected from others socially, like they are lacking something meaningful in their life, unfulfilled in work or struggling with intimacy in their romantic relationships. Under the surface there are often powerful patterns of how we think, feel and react to situations that were formed when we were children or adolescents and contribute to keeping us stuck now.

Guys, are you sick and tired of waking up sick and tired? Sometimes there’s so much going on in our head to know where to begin. This can often lead to anxieties, diminished self-worth or addiction. I know from lived experience how harrowing this can be. Reaching out for help can be daunting and confronting, and talking with friends or family often feels too close to home. Don’t let your thoughts and feelings take a back seat by dismissing and ignoring them. Left unaddressed, this can considerably influence your mental wellbeing by clouding over a sense of hope, a brighter future & the best version of you. So what’s the next step?

I support individuals who are struggling with a range of life challenges. This may be a situational issue or more ongoing challenges in life where you have notice repeated patterns. This could be things like struggling with mental health, emotional overwhelm, stress, relational issues or breakdown, life transition, work or study pressure, substance misuse, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues and childhood trauma. I also support adults experiencing relationship/marriage and family problems. It is not uncommon to feel apprehensive about engaging in therapy even though it can be very beneficial in many ways.
