Many issues can effect each and every one of us at any point in our lives. Parent/teen conflict, abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, addiction, family issues, and self-esteem are some of the concerns we may face. Dealing with these problems in the light of life's responsibilities can become that much more challenging. Problems have a way of making us forget about our strengths, survival skills, knowledge, and abilities. In my approach, I work collaboratively with individuals/couples/families to investigate the influence of the problem(s), decrease it's effects, and open up possibilities of lasting change.

Dandelion Counselling offers a creative, safe and containing space to explore thoughts and feelings. To be effective, it is not about what I 'do', but, what I can 'be' for the client: meeting wherever you may be in life and gently & empathically co-creating a therapeutic relationship. I am trained in integrative psychotherapeutic counselling with an interest in attachment and developmental trauma. This allows us to move beyond behaviour modification into an biopsychosocial psychotherapeutic understanding of what is happening. The insights from these fields can support a shift to a life where we 'respond' rather than 'react'.

I strive to help individuals overcome hardships in their life and find hope and meaning in the trials that they face. I know how hard life can be, but I also know that we have within ourselves the ability to create positive changes that will allow us to live a happier life. Counselling is a wonderful tool to help aid in that change.

You work hard to make relationships work, work hard at your job, you try your best to ensure everyone else around you is happy but end up losing yourself amid this. Even though you feel isolated, unheard, unseen you keep going. You want to stand up for yourself but don’t know how to. At times you feel overwhelmed with emotions thus feeling lost, helpless and anxious. You wonder why you connect to people a certain way and wish you could have healthier/sustainable relationships, wish you could cope better in difficult situations/be in charge of the way you express your feelings.

In my life I have travelled. I have been unbalanced and hurt. I have felt shame and had loss and I have been there longer than I wanted. That is to say, I have been stuck. And now I am not stuck. I have a life that is full of ups and downs, wins and losses. I still face challenge, injustice and loss however, what I have learned and applied along the way has changed how those things look and feel. So, I set out to learn how I could help others... (you), get unstuck. After 9 years in the field of addiction I took up official studies achieving my certification of registered professional counsellor (RPC-C) with the C.P.C.A.

There is nothing more beautiful to me than the rawness of the human spirit. No matter who we are, where we are from or where we go next, we carry narratives about ourselves that impact our experiences and the way we show up in the world. Humans are social beings, which means that the condition of our relationships directly influences our quality of life & overall wellness. However, many of us were never taught the importance of nurturing a strong and healthy relationship with the self, first. Without this relationship, we may be left wondering who we are, what matters most, and how to let go of what no longer serves us.

Do you struggle with obsessive thinking that affects your day-to-day life or even your relationships? Do you feel emotionally exhausted or overwhelmed by just trying to get through the day? Do you recognize something in your life needs to change, but you don't know what or where to start? Many people struggle with obsessive thinking or intrusive thoughts, coupled with compulsions, and they don't even know they are experiencing symptoms of OCD. This is deeply impacting their relationships, work, and quality of life.
