If you are looking for support in discovering and strengthening your authentic self and interested in learning new habits that foster better mental health and wellbeing, healthier relationships and greater life satisfaction, welcome to this page.
You might be experiencing challenges around connections, find yourself caught in relational patterns with unhelpful adaptations that compromise the quality and outcome of your life, or living with the lingering effects and symptoms of trauma, loss, grief (especially disenfranchised grief). Perhaps you are facing mental health challenges like recurring depression, anxiety, chronic stress, issues around self-esteem, or the effects of loneliness and disconnection.
Are you a shift worker?
I can offer more flexible timings with consultations at different weekdays and times and less frequently (e.g. fortnightly).
If any of these resonate with you, and you would value a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic presence as you unpack these issues at your own pace, I may be a good fit. You could consider arranging an initial consultation with me to find out how we might be able to work together, and how understanding your attachment style and unmet childhood needs might help you make sense of your lived experiences and empower you to live a more satisfying life.
My best wishes in your search for the right support, and best of health in the meantime.
