While I work with adults of all age, I specialise in working with young adults/emerging adults through their transitional journey into adulthood. Giving space where they can freely explore their inner world. Their issues may revolve around a sense of existential questioning, identity exploration, or navigating life ups and downs. I provide an empathetic presence, foster self-discovery, and delve into the underlying emotional roots of their struggles. Together, we unravel the layers of their being, ignite their inner wisdom, and facilitate a transformative process that leads to authenticity, growth, and a life lived with intention.

I offer evidence-based psychological therapy which is collaborative and respectful. My clinical approach is psychoanalytically informed. I always look for the most suitable way of helping each person, having in mind their resources and needs. I provide a gentle, safe place free from judgment to talk openly about yourself and your troubles, where you can learn to listen to yourself in a different way and understand your experiences. I will be interested in how your past impacts your present and will help you to develop a greater understanding of the unseen patterns of behaviour that can underlie psychological distress.

My psychotherapeutic approach is based on a potentiality model of human behaviour and its goals are to offer opportunities for individuals to deepen their sense of self and from that interior stronghold create more conscious relationships with self and others. It is a co-creational approach in that it capitalises on the creativity of both myself and the client. At its core, my approach has an appreciation of the individuality of the person seeking help, a recognition of the person’s power beyond measure, an affirmation of the sacredness and unconditional worth of each person I encounter in my practice.

Most clients that come for therapy are wanting to be heard and understood, sometimes for the first time in their lives. They usually have issues that stem back to their childhood and they are somehow stuck in this way of being. Trauma can freeze a person so much that they are not able to move forward and day to day life can be very challenging for them. Most clients want to change and be the best version of themselves. They especially want this if they are in relationships or have children. Also if they are not in a relationship, they want to be in one that is nourishing, healthy and they feel loved.

Geriatric and Seniors Counsellors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, dementia, and physical mobility challenges.
How can geriatric therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.
How is counselling for elderly different from counseling for other age groups?
Many aspects of geriatric counselling are similar to counselling in younger age groups; in general, counselling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. However, therapists who specialise in working with elderly clients may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counselling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.
Can geriatric counselling help people who suffer from dementia?
Counselling can be highly effective for aging adults with dementia. While some therapists specialising in dementia may work with clients solely on topics surrounding memory loss, they can also assist clients with conditions that may co-occur at old age, such as anxiety or depression. Counsellors specialising in working with older adults can also offer an objective assessment of a client’s functioning or disease progression to caregivers, and they may be particularly knowledgeable about community resources that may benefit dementia clients and their families. Therapists specialising in dementia may also be trained in specialised forms of therapy for memory loss, such as Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST)—which can help mentally stimulate dementia clients to preserve cognitive functioning.
