Compassionate Psychotherapy
to Help You Find Peace and Happiness

“Courage is not the towering oak that sees the storms come and go, it is the fragile blossom that opens in the snow.”
– Alice M. Swain

Common Reasons People Seek Counselling

 

  • Are you feeling overwhelmed by the lasting effects of past trauma, struggling with trust, and finding it hard to feel safe in your own mind and body?

  • Do you often feel anxious, fearful of abandonment, or unsure about whether you can truly depend on others, even in your closest relationships?

  • Are you tired of finding yourself in the same painful, unhealthy relationship patterns, feeling stuck and unsure of how to break free?

  • Are you constantly overwhelmed by worry, racing thoughts, or a sense of dread that makes it difficult to enjoy daily life?

  • Are you feeling disconnected from your partner, stuck in constant conflict, or worried that your relationship is losing its spark and intimacy?

  • Do you find yourself constantly battling negative self-talk, feeling like you’re never good enough, and harshly judging every mistake you make?

  • Are you struggling with overwhelming feelings of sadness, emptiness, or longing after losing someone or something important in your life and finding it hard to cope?

  • Are you feeling misunderstood, struggling to navigate a world that often feels overwhelming, or seeking support in embracing your unique neurodiverse identity?

If these sound familiar seeking counselling support may be the right choice for you. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about how to move forward, consider reaching out for counselling to find the support and guidance you need.

Trying to cope alone can feel painful and exhausting. It is both wise and courageous of you to seek support, as caring for ourselves is one of the most important things we can do to begin to feel well.
