People seek therapy for a variety of reasons; some people seek it because they have felt depressed, anxious or angry for a long time. Others have been through a traumatic event, or have a problem that they need help navigating - they may be going through a divorce, feel overwhelmed by a new job, have lost a loved one, or are facing difficulties in raising their children. Some people just want to gain a deeper understanding of themselves. Whether it is through individual/play/couple or family therapy, I help people to work through such issues in a supportive and non-judgemental environment.

In my practice I use a person-centred approach, ensuring that I allow us to know each other and provide an environment that allows you to feel free to share, knowing that you are not judged and all conversations are treated with confidentiality. Through attentive listening, I aim to first establish where you are as a client. We would then look at what the presenting problem is and guide you through to acknowledge how you have contributed to the situation you are in. We look into what your expectations of the session are and work through a treatment plan to ensure your expectations can be met.

Common client's psychosocial issues include loneliness, anxiety, fear, grief, depression, neglect, abuse, self-care issues, loss of confidence, and lack of social and support networks. Needs such as Therapeutic counseling, Substance abuse rehabilitation, Improved living conditions, Financial assistance and medical care. I therefore render a holistic psychosocial approach that looks at attending to individuals needs in the context of the combined influence that psychological factors and the surrounding social environment have on their physical and mental wellness; and their ability to function.

It's undeniably true that life can be unkind to each and everyone of us. At different points of our lives we face enormous psychosocial strossors (I.e Death of loved ones, health threatening diagnosis, sickness of our loved ones, parenting challenges, marital challenges, abusive relationships, work related pressures etc. ). These coupled with everyday pressures can cause one to feel helpless, less important, discouraged, not worthy and a whole lot of negative emotions. Should you just give up? Or pretend that these issues don't exist? Or perhaps just escape and flee? As tempting that might sound, You Really Don't Have To.

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
