About me

I believe wholeheartedly in the effectiveness of talk therapy. The science behind the brain chemistry of the human brain and how it affects our behaviours is noteworthy and interesting. However, it is only part of the story. The use of anti-depressants, and anti-psychotic drugs in more severe cases, can help some people but these chemical interventions treat only the symptoms of depression, anxiety and feeling sad. My way of working together with you goes straight to the source. I acknowledge every part of your experience of being human including body chemistry, behaviours, social dynamics, and if applicable, your spiritual dimension.

I've found that the beginning of finding the source of many mental health challenges begins with understanding your past, whether that be adverse childhood experiences (see John Bowlby) or trauma from anytime in your life. Talking about these things is rarely easy, but it is where we must begin to get to the source of your mental health challenges. After this we begin to work on the often negative effects of future thinking, overthinking and or catastrophic thinking.

The human mind is capable of great things! On the other end of the spectrum, it is capable of chaos and confusion. Most people today struggle with either living too much in the past or future. Over-active minds are what feed anxiety and depression and can leave us feeling powerless!

Counselling helps by making you more aware of your thoughts, and with concerted efforts you can bring your busy minds back under control to help make you feel more grounded and self-aware.

Finally, I focus with sincerity on you reaching your therapeutic goals. In addition, I will do my best to help you develop the emotional intelligence you need to deal with your mental health challenges. I will also give you the tools and skills you need to independently care for your mental health. By the time you have left my care, you will have the self-confidence and self-awareness to handle anything t
