Counselling is the skilled and principled use of relationship to facilitate self- knowledge, emotional acceptance and growth and the optimal development of personal resources. The overall aim of counsellors is to provide an opportunity for people to work towards more satisfying lives. Counselling relationships will vary according to need but may be concerned with developmental issues, addressing and resolving specific problems, making decisions, coping with crisis, developing personal insights and knowledge, working through feelings of inner conflict or improving relationships with others.

I work with clients using an emotion-focused, experiential approach called Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP).

This innovative and evidence-based approach has been shown to lead to long-term change in a relatively short amount of time with a variety of issues such as: anxiety, depression, conflict in relationships at home or at work, difficulties forming attachments, medically unexplained symptoms or chronic pain, grief, stress or the after-effects of trauma.

Trial (Block) Therapy: The first session is 2- to 3-hours in duration (subsequent sessions are an hour). You set the agenda: we home in on a problem, something inside yourself that you would like to work on and we go from there. A longer session initially gives you a chance to experience some shift or sense of optimism about taking this route.
