Do I need a referral?

No, you do not need a referral. Simply contact me to make an appointment.

What is the difference between coaching and counselling?

Coaching generally refers to a short-term, forwarding looking, solution-focused approach to specific issues or events in one’s life (e.g. procrastination or goal setting). Counselling typically tends to focus on more deep-rooted, emotional issues that an individual may be experiencing (e.g. depression, grief or trauma).

Do you offer a sliding scale?

Yes, in certain circumstances. Please contact me for further information.

Counselling and Treatment for Depression

Learn practical tools and strategies to help you overcome your depression.

Do you find little interest or pleasure in doing things?
Have you felt down or hopeless for more than two weeks?
Do you feel tired or constantly lethargic?
Do you have difficulty concentrating or making decisions?

Counselling for Depression

Living with depression can be like playing the with the setting set to ‘hard mode’.

When things seem that hopeless, and you feel paralysed or stuck, sometimes the last thing you want to do is talk to someone.

But if you’re struggling to find your motivation, and you’re worried that you might not ever get it back, one of the best thing you can do is seek help.

I can help you sort through the issues and habits that are keeping you stuck, and help you create a happier, healthier, more meaningful life.

Overcome your Depression

Depression counselling may include helping you identify the causes of your depression, understanding and managing underlying emotions, talking about your personal and family history, all while strengthening resilience skills and mindfulness practices.

Counselling for depression can be very effective at helping you learn to recognise the triggers of your depression, its origins, and how to move past it. It can help you learn ways to live free of those old patterns and issues that have made things hard for you.

I help people understand their past, learn how to shape a freer and more joyful present, and build a future filled with meaning, purpose and potential.

I use an integrative therapy approach that is respectful and empathic, and offer a safe, judgement-free environment.
