I enjoy working with young people and adults alike. I have been told by past clients that I am open, honest and friendly, which are qualities that all clients have valued. I like to problem solve and am a very logical and practical person. Having lived in several different countries, I have developed a good understanding of a range of issues for people from different cultures and backgrounds. I like to ask questions and truly get to know someone and never assume to know better. My clients are always the experts in their lives and I see myself as a guide to help them navigate to a calmer place.

As well as working across the life span with mood and trauma based difficulties I have three specialist mental health areas that I work in: perinatal, physical health and child and adolescent.
Living (or parenting a child) with the effects of trauma and other mental health difficulties can feel impossible. Unfortunately, finding help can be a daunting process with so many solutions being offered and not all of them being evidence based. The next best step is often to get in touch for a free 15 minute consultation to find out if I feel like the right fit for you or your child.

Life can be overwhelming but therapy doesn't have to be! Depression, relationship issues, past trauma, anxiety, pre/post natal issues, eating disorder behaviours, body image, identity concerns, may be preventing you from the life you choose. I can provide a safe place to process. Perhaps through talking therapy alone, or including creative approaches using pens and paper, picture cards, fidget toys, genograms, timelines - it's your session and your choice. My approach is tailored to meet your individual needs. Whether that's untangling the past so you can live meaningfully in the present or building on your sense of who you are.

Life can be messy it rarely turns out exactly as we hope or plan. Perhaps relationship or work-life difficulties are causing you emotional pain and mental suffering. Maybe you have been signed off from work, college or university with anxiety or stress, or you’re simply not able to enjoy the ‘sunshine‘ moments of life. Counselling can help you navigate the difficulties that are causing your emotional & mental suffering & provide support as you work towards building a more fulfilled & contented life. Shame is a common theme associated with low self-esteem, however, working together we can reduce its impact to improve your well-being.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Counsellors

What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?

The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.

When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?

Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.

How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?

A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioural therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviours. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
