One of the biggest misconceptions about therapy is that seeing a therapist is a sign of weakness. In fact, quite the opposite is true. Recognizing the need for help and seeking professional therapy is a sign of both strength and determination to overcome a particular problem in order to move forward with their lives.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, based on the belief that you, the client, are the expert on YOU. I as the therapist am an expert on the techniques and strategies that are helpful in uncovering underlying issues and creating new and effective coping strategies for dealing with particular situations. Working together, we will work through the problems that are causing you distress, discard coping mechanisms and behaviours that are no longer working for you and develop new and effective coping strategies and behaviours. I strongly believe that you have the power to make positive changes in your life and with support and encouragement, I am confident that you will believe it too!
