Individual Counselling

Therapy is a collaborative experience that involves exploring patterns, gaining awareness and insight to support personal growth, processing emotion, and developing strategies to approach any challenging parts of your life.

Whether you’re pursuing personal growth and self-exploration or wanting to focus on something more specific, therapy can benefit everyone.

Is therapy right for me?

Therapy is not only for mental health concerns or specific problems, but can be a space to explore and fine-tune our lives. I’ve often compared counselling to tidying out the junk drawer. Alone, we might open the drawer, shuffle some things around, decide we need everything or throw it all away, and typically just close the drawer thinking there’s nothing more we can do. With a counsellor, they might ask about the things in the drawer, suggest a different way to arrange it, question the value of some of the things you’ve been keeping, and reorganize with you. Ultimately, you know you the best, but a therapist will be able to guide you to fresh insight and understanding about your life and your patterns allowing you to feel more empowered and confident in your day to day life.

You may be:

  • Feeling frustrated with the mundane of daily life

  • Feeling good and wanting to explore and unlock possibility or gain insight

  • Struggling with a situation or conflict that needs some extra thought or an unbiased perspective

  • Having goals but unsure about how to achieve them

  • Disappointed or frustrated with your past, present, or perceivable future

  • Feel disconnected from your life, feeling like you’re going through the motions, not present in social interactions, floating through life, feeling like no one ‘gets it’

  • Be lacking in motivation, waking up with dread, unsure of your purpose, questioning your perceptions of the world

  • Feeling stuck or locked in your thinking patterns-- having persistent and ruminating thoughts, continuously falling short of your expectations of yourself

  • Reliving and trying to rewrite historic events or constantly forecasting the future

  • Feeling frustrated with habits and behaviours you’ve been trying to change for ages but can’t quite seem to shift

If anything above resonates with you and your experience, counselling can support you to move through these feelings. Sessions will be tailored to your unique needs and goals.
