My work is collaborative, practical, and tailored to each client’s needs and circumstances. I endeavour to provide a thoughtful, caring and supportive space to help clients reduce and/or manage stress and distress, gain clarity, improve relationships and make meaningful changes.
I have been providing counselling for over 30 years and continue to find the work rewarding and meaningful. My approach focuses on helping clients identify their goals, find practical and effective ways to achieve them, address challenges, reduce distress, and move toward greater stability, fulfillment, and well-being in their lives. This may involve concerns related to work, relationships, health, life transitions, or questions of meaning and purpose.
I have particular experience working with addictions, relationship difficulties, loss and grief, workplace conflict, career management and mild to moderate symptoms of depression and anxiety—common concerns that arise in the course of being human. Life can be complex and demanding, relationships can be baffling and while most people are doing their best, there are times when professional support can be helpful in making positive changes, increasing self understanding and compassion, improving relationships, processing loss, and clarifying what matters most.
