I provide counselling and psychotherapy to individuals who want to explore their issues and see what's possible.

My areas of practice include, but are not limited to:

How can counselling help me?

Stress can often make us feel like life is pushing us down. Sometimes people need someone to help them get their thoughts clear. I find that people seek counselling when they want someone, a person outside their circle of people, to talk about the challenges in their life, whether it be relationships or work stress or decision-making. As a clinical counsellor, I help you clarify your thoughts and work with you to provide support to help you feel calmer in your life.

How is psychotherapy different from counselling?

Psychotherapy tends to work on deeper issues, perhaps issues coming from your childhood. Whereas counselling can be short-term and focused on what's going on now, psychotherapy looks at underlying patterns that may be impacting your life now and helps you see things in a new light. The idea is to become aware of what may be holding you back so you feel more in control of your life and the choices you make.

How are counselling and psychotherapy similar?

Both the counselling experience and psychotherapy are similar when working in session, and you don't have to know which one you want to do to get started. Counselling and psychotherapy are simply words to describe a process to help you get where you want to go.
