Individual
Counselling

Sometimes,
things just seem too hard
to talk about, to make sense of,
don’t they?

That’s where I can help. Help you find the words to describe the feelings. Help you slow the incessant racing thoughts. Help you make sense of what has happened.

Help you find successful ways to get your needs met – ways that don’t end up sabotaging the very thing you wanted to create.

When we talk about our feelings they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, less scary, and they stop pushing us around, sabotaging the life we want.
