Manage Anxiety and Panic:

Anxiety is a common reaction that we can all experience under times of stress and pressure. For example, we might experience elevated levels of anxiety and arousal before an examination, if we have to give a speech, or if there is increased pressure in our work environment.  Normal anxiety and fear are defensive emotions that serve an adaptive purpose necessary for coping and survival. 

Beat the Blues

Symptoms of depression can include reduced mood, loss of pleasure and enjoyment, feelings of hopelessness/helplessness, lethargy and fatigue, poor sleep and appetite, and withdrawal from our usual activities. Symptoms can also include heightened feelings of guilt, low motivation and drive, and low self-worth and confidence.

Relationships and Attachment

Relationships can be a major source of comfort, satisfaction, and relief when they are running smoothly and when we feel connected, heard, and validated. However, often we can struggle with relational experiences for a number of different reasons. These relationships might be with friends, colleagues in a workplace, family, our partner, and even the relationship with our self.

Evidence-based Psychology to Promote Mental Health and Well-being

An important element to successful therapy is the nature of the relationship between client and therapist. For people to change and heal they need a space where they feel understood, recognised, safe, supported, and validated. I work to provide these key ingredients within a professional and genuinely compassionate framework. At core life psychology my goal is to assist people to then explore and address key features to their problems while integrating and constructing effective coping mechanisms and new experiences. I understand that each person comes to therapy with different needs and goals. As such therapy is tailored to you the individual and is based on current directions and evidence-based research in psychology.

My approach draws from psycho-dynamic methods, cognitive behavioural therapy, attachment theory, mindfulness, and acceptance and commitment therapy. If you want to learn more click through to my approach.

Learn Strategies to Regulate Emotion

Often stress and our emotions can overwhelm us. We might struggle with anger, feelings of helplessness, guilt, shame, or other complex and intense emotions and feeling states. Often these feelings are a combination of emotion and our attempts and struggles to manage them. Fortunately, we can learn new ways to regulate emotion.
