We may explore your past and how that informs how you feel and act today; look at current and past relationships, investigate losses and traumas that have affected you, identify thoughts or behaviours - in fact anything holding you back.
Is there something troubling you? Something upsetting you? Something making you sad, anxious, angry, fearful, lonely or unheard? Have you lost someone you love or lost direction? Or is it something inside that you can’t fathom out, but is affecting your life? These feelings and many others are ones we all face during our lives and when they remain unaddressed they can lead to anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship problems, work issues, loss of self-confidence and self-esteem, or simply a feeling of being stuck. The good news is that therapy can help you explore one's issues you in a safe, caring and confidential space.

I want to offer you the space to exhale, share, dissect, be transparent, feel refreshed, as you find & accept self! I enjoy working with concerns relating to life's trauma, culture, 1st generation immigrants, self - acceptance, mid-life, family and work relationships, marriages, retirement, grief, & health.
My mantra, "Once we face the things we fear, they no longer have power over us!" So well done for taking your initial steps towards change. We get stuck within our own worlds (especially our past), fearful that we will not be heard or even understood. The 'noises' within us remain unheard setting the tone to overthink/discredit our way own way of being. We find sanctuary in others peoples words, feelings, emotions, thoughts & continue to dishonor our own as we are fearful for what we mite have to face - demeaning our needs seem so much easier than confront them?

As a Psychotherapist, I provide support to individuals who are seeking professional guidance in navigating processes of change in their lives.

Work-related stress and relationship difficulties are also commonplace, as is the pursuit of self-development. Therapy provides an opportunity to explore and understand these challenges, fostering self-understanding and enhancing interpersonal relationships.

Hi, I’m Renata – a location-independent Counselor and Brazilian Psychologist. Just like most of the people I work with, I’ve moved countries a few times, been figuring out how to raise my kids internationally, and met a few obstacles to continuing my career as we moved around. Some people come for a more profound healing journey. Others, for work more focused on a specific aspect of their lives, like their career, a recent loss, or after an overwhelming life event like divorce, medical diagnosis, or moving.

People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons - anxiety, bereavement, relationship or family issues, sexual issues or personal and emotional crises, and anything else that is making their life difficult or confusing.
I know it can be a daunting process to find a therapist that you feel is right for you, and I hope this helps make it simpler. If you're feeling concerned by something in your life, it's helpful to be able to discuss it with someone who isn't involved in your daily life - I aim to provide a safe, comfortable and confidential space for us to explore what's going on for you and to help you make any changes you might want to make, or just to explore your feelings.

Welcome. I know life can be overwhelming at times, and cause a great deal of distress. This presents in a multitude of ways, sometimes as unhelpful behaviours, or destructive patterns in relationships to others and with ourselves. Maybe you are searching for renewed purpose, depth, and meaning to your life, or trying to make sense of things after a profound loss that has ripped the ground from under you. Therapy can offer the space for growth and exploration, a shift in perspective, more clarity and a better more fulfilling relationship with yourself.

Having also gone through my therapy and lived experience of profound loss myself has allowed me to stay human and humble.
We could all do with help sometimes. I get it. Our world is imperfect and challenging and there is no way to know what life throws next. You may have experienced a loss or trauma and others around you cannot grasp its magnitude. Or you may have resorted to ways of coping that harm you and cannot break free. Or perhaps you are tired of recurrent disappointments, rejections, criticism that have affected how you feel within yourself and your relationships. Forming a genuine connection with each other in therapy will hopefully make it possible for you to work toward changes or make what you cannot change easier to bear.

Having experienced grief, trauma and other mental health issues, I have an understanding of what it is that you may be going through.
Sometimes we may find ourselves overwhelmed with what life sends our way and we lose confidence in ourselves and abilities. Sessions can be either a one off or a series of events, depending on your needs. As Gandhi said, "Be the change that you want to see."

Hello, I'm Alice. I'm a person-centred psychotherapist and counsellor. I have learned people often don’t need advice or solutions. They need someone who will listen, care and understand them. From both personal and professional experience, I have a deep understanding of the challenges many of us face in life. I can help you if you are struggling with difficulties such as grief, relationship issues, suicidal thoughts, or you are living with chronic pain and disability. Or perhaps you are feeling really anxious and depressed and you just don’t understand why but need somebody to talk to.

How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
