Counsellor/Therapist, Clinical Supervisor, Master of Counselling
We all are faced with anxiety and fears learning to address the situation and have the ability to challenge them is very helpful. When you are able to face your fears and anxieites you start to take control of your life.
Understanding anxiety and fears is key to dealing with their effects on life, relationships, work and many other aspects. We work with you to increase your awareness of the triggers and perpetuating factors around anxiety or fears, which will usually include specific evidence-based treatments to quickly provide relief and then to provide ongoing strategies to manage and deal with the cause of the anxiety or fear.
I will work with you to help you understand the root causes of your stress, anxiety, and overthinking. We focus on: tuning into what you feel, so you can gain wisdom from those feelings; learning to sit with uncomfortable emotions and see they are a part of life; understand why you get stuck in your head; work to improve your coping strategies and manage your anxiety in a more helpful way. Part of this is learning to embrace who you are and not who you think you should be, so you can express yourself more clearly and honestly and find more balance in your life. Anxiety is insidious and exhausting. It robs us of our joy and ability to relax, so it's important to seek help if it is negatively impacting our lives.
