Welcome
Psychotherapy is an evidence based treatment modality proven
to be an effective tool to treat the emotional disorders of
children and adolescents and adults. Psychotherapy is a
collaborative individual therapeutic process to assess
difficulties and symptoms, challenge thinking patterns and
change maladaptive behaviour.
The goal of all psychotherapy is to help individuals overcome
their difficulties in day-to-day life so they can live fuller,
happier, more creative and satisfying lives.
I have had over 25 years experience working with children,
adolescents and parents. Working therapeutically with parents
and young adults lead to an interest in and further training
in adult psychotherapy.
"Emotional intelligence: The ability to understand and
manage feelings. It is the foundation for all other success
skills, including self-discipline, self-advocacy, learning,
working and forming healthy relationships."
Parents, Infants & Toddlers
Parents may be concerned about feeding difficulties, temper
tantrums or delays in normal development or may be worried
about their own capacity to meet their infant's needs. Working
together in psychotherapy can address issues such as
understanding one another, facilitate communications and help
build, restore or maintain a secure attachment bond.
Child & Adolescent Psychotherapy
The sign of your child or adolescent's emotional distress
is often evident in their behaviour.
Parents may notice an unexplained change in their
child's/teen's behaviour - problems with mood, sleep,
appetite, aggressive behaviour, social or academic
functioning. Often these problems are the result of emotional
distress and may interfere with a child's development.
Adverse events may also cause emotional distress: the death of
a family member or friend; major illness in the family;
divorce; a move; abuse; trauma; or school stresses such as
homework, test anxiety, bullying, or peer pressure.
In child psychotherapy, thinking and talking with a therapist
helps children/adolescents to make sense of and understand
their troubled thoughts and feelings.
Goals for therapy may be specific such as addressing a
significant life event, changes in behaviour, improved
relations with family or friends, or more general such as less
anxiety or better self-esteem.
The overall goal of childrens psychotherapy is to enhance or
restore your child's emotional and social well being and
capacity to learn.
Adult Psychotherapy
Individuals seek psychotherapy for a variety of reasons. Often
they are struggling with depression, stress, anxiety, panic
attacks, trauma, loss, relationships difficulties, low self
esteem, lack of confidence, life transitions, family and/or
work related difficulties, self destructive or other
destructive behaviours. These troubling issues could be
related to current life circumstances or arise from past or
early life trauma. Other people seek psychotherapy as a means
to expand their desire to grow, develop their potential and
explore greater meaning in their lives.
