Relationship Counselling 

Attachment-focused couples therapy explores the ways partners connect, communicate, and respond to each other’s needs. Attachment theory provides insight into why some people crave closeness while others pull away, and how these patterns—often shaped in childhood—affect relationships.

Sessions focus on identifying these patterns and shifting them in a way that fosters security and trust. When conflicts feel repetitive or unresolved, it is often due to underlying emotional needs not being met. Therapy creates a space where both partners feel heard and valued, strengthening their bond and helping them navigate challenges with greater understanding and connection.

The most important topics are often the hardest to talk about—those carrying shame, frustration, or painful memories. Therapy provides a safe space for these conversations to unfold with clarity, understanding, and a focus on growth. However, if a relationship becomes harmful to one or more individuals, the goal is to mediate a path forward that ensures a peaceful and healthy separation.

 

Mediating Caregiver & Medical Decisions

Experience in long-term care homes and hospitals has provided insight into the challenges families face when navigating end-of-life decisions, unresolved conflicts, and emotional transitions. These deeply personal and complex moments require support in fostering effective communication, honouring values, and reaching a shared understanding.

A new family illness or diagnosis can bring uncertainty, emotional strain, and shifts in family roles. Feelings of fear, grief, and stress are common, making it difficult to navigate medical decisions and changing responsibilities. Therapy offers a space to process emotions, strengthen communication, and develop coping strategies. It also helps families maintain connection, establish healthy boundaries, and build resilience during times of change.

Individual Counselling

In individual counselling, I work with clients to help them understand how our early experiences shape our current relationships, emotional responses, and self-perception. Together, we explore patterns that may be contributing to stress, burnout, and difficulties in your personal or professional life. Whether you’re navigating workplace challenges, family dynamics, relationship issues, or ADHD struggles, our work together focuses on building resilience, fostering self-awareness, and creating healthier connections. My approach is compassionate and direct, aimed at empowering you to find balance, enhance your well-being, and lead a more fulfilling life.
