Therapy in General

Therapy can help with mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship problems, or other issues.   Unhappiness or distress can establish in the form of challenging feelings, behaviours and beliefs.   I  can serve as a listening ear, help identify underlying causes of symptoms, help support lifestyle changes, and provide specific strategies or techniques for changing unwanted thoughts, feelings and behaviours.  When any of these conditions begin to interfere with your normal routine, then seeking help might be beneficial and you will gather tools to face challenges, manage symptoms, and improve stress.  

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy is very much a collaborative process between myself and my clients.  My aim is to help you facilitate change and improve your quality of life by engaging in self-reflective process.  Therapy will give you the strength to confront barriers that may be very painful or that interfere with mental well-being.  It can increase positive feelings such as love, self-esteem and compassion. 

Couples Therapy

In couples therapy this would normally involve an intense focus on improving the communication patterns within the couple.  This involves me entering your way of life more directly.  Habits and routines would be brought into the session where I would offer tools and techniques to improve your communication with each other.  This may also involve couples practicing new techniques away from the therapy session.  Both partners are invited to co-create the process of change.
