Have you taken a wrong turn, or maybe broken something? Are you unsure how you repair it? In our work together, we will explore the obstacles to emotional closeness that you face, examining how past relationships and personal histories continue to influence your present. By addressing and healing these traumas, we can let go of the unhealthy and compulsive behaviours that once served as protections against confusion and pain. This process opens up the possibility of making conscious choices, improving self-awareness and fostering a more holistic understanding of how our thoughts, behaviours, and emotions are interconnected.

Therapy with me is experiential, where we identify and work through the emotional barriers that hinder intimacy and explore how past relationships influence current behaviours. This process not only helps in healing trauma but also in letting go of maladaptive coping mechanisms, enabling a more authentic choice-driven life.

Telling your story in a safe and confidential setting without judgment can be a good start. By working together on what you need, we can create positive changes that lead to the lessening of anxiety and depression with vitality, joy and the freedom to choose rather than react. Contact me by phone or email for an introductory session.

In our sessions together, treatment begins with creating a safe environment without judgement, where we focus on the present to understand what is happening in your life and what you think and feel about it. Through this process of self-discovery, you can discover the ability to choose rather than react to your life, with most clients experiencing an improvement within 4-8 weeks.
