Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Gardens

At times life may leave you feeling stressed or overwhelmed, seeking to find wellness as you feel unable to cope with daily demands, financial stressors, anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, bereavement or life adjustments (relationship, employment, or health changes). Struggling with intra- and interpersonal difficulties and looking for personal development and a way to achieve holistic wellness. This can be done through supportive therapy which assists clients to gain new insights into themselves & current difficulties and equips them with skills such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Drama therapy is an embodied practice that is active and experiential. I have a person-centred approach: radical acceptance, unconditional positive regard with a non-directive stance. I strive to work with the healthy resilience of the individual or group, creating a sense of safety in the present so that personal challenges can be explored in a contained way. Whilst creativity is the foundation for curiosity and expression, the sessions are client led focusing on their preferred mode of expression. The work (with children and adults) is trauma informed and diversity sensitive. Restoring and encouraging agency is ever present

There is no shame in seeking out help for your mental health, in fact, taking care of your mental health is an act of self-love and respect. You are worthy of happiness and peace of mind, and it is okay to prioritize that. My hope is that we might be able to think together about how we could change the things that are affecting you most. I am confident in my ability to provide you with a safe, empathic, and non-judgemental space to explore your inner world alongside you. As was said by Dr. Gabor Mate, "Knowing oneself comes from attending with compassionate curiosity to what is happening within."

Hello! I'm Teneal, an online-based Clinical Psychologist dedicated to providing high quality mental health care. Whether you are looking to enhance wellbeing or find relief from mild to severe mental illness, there is space for you here!

I have a passion for working with people. It is an honour when clients trust you and allow you to be part of their journey.  As part of my private practice, I offer psychotherapy as well as neuropsychological and medico-legal assessments.

Therapy’s major aim is to enable growth and better understanding of oneself through self-discovery and self- exploration. It is within a therapeutic relationship where we can identify problematic and dysfunctional, emotional and behavioural problems and address the necessary changes that will lead to a more healthier and less stressful life”

I believe that therapy is a partnership in being curious about your past, and exploring in an accepting and authentic environment. It is also about experiencing some of the difficult things in yourself and the world, and having a consistent, safe space to encounter these challenges. Sometimes when we hit our lowest point, we are most open to change.

Looking for an authentic, compassionate and sometimes light-hearted space to figure things out for you or your child? Let's talk.
