Are you struggling to manage your anxiety, or experiencing stress and burnout? Are you feeling misunderstood, frustrated or helpless in your personal relationships? Are you faced with significant life transitions that are affecting your emotions and mood? We all experience times when our ability to cope with what is happening in our lives is challenged, and simply put, we need help. Counselling can offer short-term and dynamic interventions that support our psychosocial wellbeing, enhance personal functioning, and increase our ability to adjust to the changes that life brings.
Drawing from a strong background in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), attachment theory, and developmental psychology, I approach counselling with curiosity for what makes us think, feel and behave the way we do. This type of enquiry leads to increased awareness and self-knowledge, which ultimately develops resilience and encourages emotional wellness.
In my counselling space, I foster a validating and supportive environment where you can feel empowered to confront your challenges and initiate positive change. I invite you to invest in your personal wellbeing and to see where safe self-discovery can take you. Click through to get in touch and let’s chat.
