It takes an incredible amount of strength to reach out for help. Deciding to embark on the process of change can feel overwhelming and it can be difficult to know where to start. Your process has brought you here to this site and that is already a significant step. Whether you are struggling with a single experience or a lifetime of experiences, therapy can be beneficial. The therapeutic process can be helpful to make sense of your thoughts, identify barriers to change and explore new ways of coping. Therapy can be empowering.
My practice is trauma-informed and evidence based. With over 13 years of counselling experience, I draw on many different modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), attachment-based, emotionally focused and Internal Family Systems. My approach is client-centred, collaborative and empathetic.
It's important to feel like your therapist is a good fit for you. I believe everyone needs a judgement-free space to be able to process issues and work towards meaningful change. My hope is that the therapy process feels safe, supportive and encourages positive growth. Feel free to connect if you have any further questions.
