My clients often find themselves not being able to sleep so well or they have not been enjoying their favourite activities like before. They also find themselves reflecting on specific moments such as past interactions with family and/or friends and wondered if any of what they have experienced affect the way they feel, think and behave at present times. I then notice that when starting therapy, my clients feel that they are ready to commit consistently to search for answers to why they feel this way, how can they cope better with these difficult emotions, how can they feel safe and loved again.

I offer a free first counselling session (60 min). I am open to helping anyone, however I have a particular interest in helping those who have been affected by traumatic experience such as bullying, earthquakes, child abuse, neglect etc. These experiences can have limiting effects on our lives, and cause us immense suffering on an ongoing basis in the present. I want to recognize that pain, and can help those affected to move toward permanent healing, relief, and resolution.

I understand that some people feel rather nervous about coming to counselling. The thought of being vulnerable as you share personal strories and struggles with a stranger can feel daunting. Change is uncomfortable, but if you are reading this I imagine you are wanting something to change. You are stronger than you know. As a trained professional I work with all demographics, where no story is too big or too small. I promise to be non-judgemental, empathetic, caring, and to work safely. In our journey together you will always have autonomy as we assess and reassess the goals you are wanting to achieve.

I can provide screening for, or dual diagnosis around ADHD as part of this process. I also provide screening for specific learning disability in reading (dyslexia), APD, OCD, anxiety, and can assess for intellectual disability if necessary also.
