Psychotherapy & Counselling

People seek counselling for a variety of reasons—you do not have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Sometimes, individuals experience a general sense of dissatisfaction with life, while others may need support navigating a particularly difficult period. Some people recognize recurring destructive patterns in their relationships, work, or emotions and wish to explore the underlying causes in therapy.

Whatever your concern, counselling provides a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential space where you can express your thoughts and feelings freely with a trained therapist.

Therapeutic Approaches

There are many forms of therapy, each tailored to different needs. Below are the primary modalities in which I practice:

• Psychodynamic Therapy – Explores unconscious patterns and past experiences shaping current behavior.
• Transactional Analysis – Examines communication and relationship dynamics.
• Somatic Therapy – Uses body awareness to process and heal trauma, mindfulness, breathework and other holsitic body work.
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Identifies and reprograms negative thought patterns.
• Inner Child Work – Addresses unmet childhood needs and emotional wounds.
• Solution-Focused Therapy – Focuses on strengths and practical steps for positive change.
• Person-Centered Therapy – Provides a compassionate space for self-exploration and growth.

How Sessions Work

We offer therapy in-person, via telephone, or through video sessions, available on a short-term or long-term basis.

• Sessions are scheduled on a mutually agreed date and time.
• Appointments are typically weekly, lasting 60 minutes per session.
• The first session is an opportunity to discuss your reasons for seeking counselling, explore how therapy can support you, and ask any questions you may have.
