People often have creative ways of distancing themselves from uncomfortable and painful emotions and experiences. You might find yourself coping by burying them away, keeping yourself endlessly busy and distracted, or saying, I’m okay, I’m just fine. But as these unprocessed things build, you may have an unsettled or anxious feeling, feel that you are not yourself, or experience emotional explosions that confuse or overwhelm yourself or others. You may come to a place where you feel helpless, trapped, or depressed.
In counselling, we will take time to get to know each other. I will be curious to learn more about you and your life. When you feel ready, we can begin to bring light to those things that may feel too daunting or scary to explore on your own. We can also get to know different parts of you, sit with emotions, and explore experiences as they come up.
This process can feel uncomfortable or painful at times, but upon reaching the other side, you may feel calmer, lighter, and relieved. We will do this all at your pace, honouring your path toward healing, growth, and enduring change. If this speaks to you, I welcome you to email me or schedule us a complimentary conversation. I'll be so delighted to connect.
