About Therapy

Counselling and psychotherapy provide the professional support necessary when change seems too daunting to tackle alone. These services can enhance your relationships, boost your confidence, and offer strategies to accomplish goals, aiding in the development of your full potential. When most effective, therapy can be transformative, empowering individuals to lead lives that are happier and more fulfilling.

 

The necessity for professional treatment becomes evident when symptoms of mental illness disrupt our normal feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. A therapist, with the requisite training, can provide assistance when alterations in mental health result in symptoms such as:

 

- Withdrawing from social interactions and experiencing difficulties in relationships
- Experiencing sleep disturbances
- Declining performance at school or work
- Struggling with addictions or eating disorders
- Enduring depression, anxiety, hopelessness, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

​Understanding expectations is key, as a therapist I cannot 'cure' you, but I offer empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard to enable you to cultivate your self-understanding, encompassing your thoughts, behaviours, and actions. Therapy demands patience, as the process of rewiring your brain is an intricate one. This can only happen after grasping your brain's current wiring, which is itself an intensive and demanding process. For some, the journey towards change may intensify difficulties before they become more manageable.
