Individual Therapy
Therapy helps individuals sift through life events and edit those parts of their stories which became their limiting beliefs. This can enable them to become self-aware, explore their emotions and develop an empowered mindset.
Over my decade and a half of experience I have worked successfully with teenagers, young adults and adults experiencing:
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Panic
Depression
Gender Dysphoria
Eating Disorders
Sleep Disorders
Body Image Issues
Social Anxiety
Poor Self Esteem
Self-Harm
Anger Management Issues
OCD
Couples Therapy
Counselling for couples provides a safe, respectful and non-confrontational space for partners to express their concerns, be heard, realise different perspectives and bring down walls to build a healthier, mutually fulfilling relationship… TOGETHER.
I have counselled couples in distress, helping them to:
Build effective communication
stylesLearn calmer conflict resolution
Understand and accept differences
Grow emotional connections
Recover from betrayal trauma
Rebuild trust
Manage transitions
Build common goals and values
Overcome parenting challenges
Grief Counselling
Loss can take different forms.
Grief can be messy.
It seldom progresses according to a pattern.
We don’t ‘move on’… we learn to grow around the sorrow.
Grief can be so raw that its often painful to watch a loved one go through it. Counselling offers that supportive space where painful emotions and memories can be expressed and shared. Therapy can help individuals process their grief and manage the emotions through various coping strategies. There is a gradual progression towards healing and rebuilding their lives through this process.
Counselling for Children
Parents and caregivers are often at a loss to help young children who may be acting out, presenting behavioral difficulties, aggression or obstinacy. Children are unable to express their feelings because they may not know how or may even be afraid.
In therapy, children feel safe enough to find their voice or a way of expressing the distress they may be experiencing. Tailored interventions like art therapy or play therapy allow them to share their emotions without feeling threatened or self-conscious.
I have worked extensively with young children and their parents helping them to learn to cope with and heal from:
Anxiety
Trauma from divorce
Trauma from losing a loved one
Fears from seeing discord within the home
I work concurrently with the parents in order to help support their children. Parenting sessions can also include learning to manage concerning issues like:
Aggression at home/school
Obstinacy
Sibling rivalry
Digital addiction
Worries about losing family
Unsettling changes and transitions
Bullying
Counselling for Young Adults
Adolescence and early adulthood can be marked by significant changes, which make it a time of confusion and stress. They often feel misunderstood and pressured. Therapy provides a safe and confidential space for them to express their thoughts and feelings, seek guidance, and develop valuable coping skills.
Over the years I have helped teenagers and young adults to understand and cope with:
Increased academic pressures.
Careers exploration
Navigating numerous transitions
Relationship perspectives/social skills
Family dynamics/expectations
Emotional regulation
Gender identity exploration
Body image issues
