Counselling and Psychotherapy

Together, we can explore the emotions and experiences that shape how you understand yourself and your relationships. Whether you are struggling with overwhelming emotions, painful experiences, or a difficult period in your life, therapy can help you make sense of what you are going through, develop greater compassion for yourself, and find new ways of responding and moving forward.

Traumatic and distressing experiences can continue to affect how you feel, think, and respond in the present, even when the events happened long ago. EMDR therapy helps you process these experiences so that the memories can become less emotionally overwhelming and no longer have the same hold on your present life. Together, we work with the thoughts, emotions, and physical responses connected to these experiences, helping you move toward a greater sense of calm, self-understanding, and freedom in the present

Individual Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (iMBCT) is a one-on-one adaptation of the MBCT programme, developed at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. It follows the same themes and practices as group MBCT over eight weekly sessions of about one hour, with at least half of each session dedicated to mindfulness practice. Through these practices, people learn to recognize that thoughts are not necessarily facts, become more aware of their moment-to-moment experience, and respond to difficult thoughts and feelings with greater balance and self-compassion. Research has found that iMBCT can significantly reduce symptoms of depression, with benefits lasting after the programme ends, and that it is as effective as group MBCT. Many people value the personal attention and flexible scheduling of the individual format.

Couples can become caught in cycles of conflict, distance, or disconnection, even when both people care deeply about the relationship. In therapy, we look beneath the conflict to understand the emotions, needs, and vulnerabilities that shape how each person responds to the other. Together, we work toward greater understanding, emotional responsiveness, and a more secure and connected relationship.

Family relationships can be deeply meaningful, but they can also become strained when parents and children feel misunderstood, unheard, or caught in recurring conflict. In therapy, we explore the emotions and experiences that shape these relationships and create opportunities for greater understanding, communication, and connection. Together, we work toward healthier ways of relating in which both parents and children can feel heard and valued.

I offer Christian counselling if you wish to bring your faith into the counselling process. I integrate faith into my counselling practice as a source of connection, comfort, hope, and security. Your relationship with God can be a meaningful source of strength as you navigate emotional and relational challenges and move toward healing and greater wholeness.
