Generalized anxiety can feel like a constant undercurrent of worry — a mind that rarely rests. It can show up as racing thoughts, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, and a sense of being “on edge.” Therapy can help you build a new relationship with your anxiety, so it no longer controls your life.

Therapy may include evidence-based approaches, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and focuses on:

• 🌿 Learning to make space for anxious thoughts and feelings without letting them take over

• 🧭 Developing mindfulness skills to bring attention back to the present moment

• 💪 Loosening the grip of worry through psychological flexibility

• ✨ Reconnect with what truly matters to you and aligning your actions with those values

The goal is to help you make space for anxious thoughts and emotions without feeling overwhelmed by them. Anxiety often pulls us into “what if” thinking about the future, imagining the most horrendous outcomes. By learning to stay grounded in the present moment, you can find calm and clarity.

Therapy can help you to become aware of what matters to you most and to choose actions that are aligned with those values rather than fear - this way you can begin to move through life with ease and confidence.

Panic attacks can feel frightening and overwhelming, often appearing suddenly and leaving you feeling out of control. The good news is that effective treatment can help you understand what’s happening in your body, reduce fear around these sensations, and regain a sense of safety and confidence in your daily life:

• 🧭 Learn grounding and regulation skills to calm your body and mind

• 💪 Build practical knowledge on how to best navigate a panic attack when it happens

• 🌍 Take a broader look at your life, recognizing that panic can be a signal that your system is under strain

The goal is not just to manage panic in the moment, but to address the bigger picture, reduce its impact over time, and help you live with greater ease, resilience, and confidence.

Depression can feel heavy and isolating, but you don’t have to face it alone. Effective treatment focuses on helping you understand what contributes to these feelings, build new ways of coping, and gently reconnect with the things that bring meaning and joy to your life.

Therapy may include evidence-based approaches, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Positive Psychology, as well as processing painful/traumatic events that might be at the root of your depression.

Together, we work to:

• 🌿 Ease emotional pain and reduce feelings of hopelessness

• 🧭 Identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns

• 💪 Build emotional resilience and self-compassion

• ✨ Reconnect with what matters most to you, your interests, and meaningful goals

Menopausal depression and anxiety can feel like an emotional fog — a sense that your mood, energy, and stress levels are harder to manage than before. Hormonal shifts, disrupted sleep, and major life transitions can contribute to increased worry, irritability, low motivation, and a feeling of being “not yourself.” Therapy can help you understand these changes, regulate your emotions, and reconnect with a renewed sense of steadiness and confidence.

Using evidence-based approaches, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Positive Psychology, treatment focuses on:

• 🌿 Making space for difficult emotions and physical sensations without letting them overwhelm you

• 🧭 Developing mindfulness skills to anchor yourself when mood and anxiety fluctuations feel intense

• ✨ Reconnecting what genuinely matters to you and choosing daily actions that nurture your emotional and physical well-being. After years of caring for everyone else, this may be the moment to finally prioritize yourself.

The goal is to help you navigate menopausal mood changes with clarity and compassion. Hormonal fluctuations often pull the mind into distressing “what’s happening to me?” loops. By learning to stay grounded in the present, you can ease emotional intensity and regain a sense of control.

Therapy can help you understand what matters most to you in this life stage and choose actions that support emotional balance, strength, and vitality — so you can move through this transition with greater ease, resilience, and self-trust.

Seasonal Affective Disorder is a form of depression that typically appears during the darker, colder months. It can bring changes in mood, energy, sleep, and motivation — making daily life feel heavier and harder to navigate. The good news is that with the right support and specific behaviour changes, it’s possible to regain balance and energy during these challenging seasons.

Life transitions, whether anticipated or sudden, can stir up many emotions — from excitement and hope to uncertainty, grief, and overwhelm. Transitions such as moving, changing careers, starting or ending relationships, or entering a new life stage can challenge your sense of stability and identity.

• 🧭 Stay grounded in the present, even during uncertainty

• 💪 Gain clarity on what truly matters to you and let it guide your choices and next steps.

Stress is a normal part of life — but when it builds up or feels unmanageable, it can impact your mood, sleep, focus, and overall well-being. Therapy can help you understand what’s fuelling your stress, develop effective coping strategies, and create more balance in your daily life.

Anger is a natural human emotion — but when it feels intense, overwhelming, or hard to control, it can create stress and strain on your well-being and relationships. Therapy can help you understand what fuels your anger and learn new ways to respond that align with your values - what matters most to you - rather than acting in the heat of the moment.

Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), treatment focuses on:

• 🌿 Building awareness of emotional triggers and physical cues

• 🧭 Developing skills to pause, regulate, and respond more intentionally

• 💪 Strengthening acceptance and self-compassion to reduce shame and reactivity

• ✨ Replacing unhelpful patterns with healthier, more effective ways of expressing anger

The goal isn’t to suppress anger but to understand and channel it constructively, creating space for calmer communication, healthier relationships, and a greater sense of control.

Experiencing trauma can leave lasting emotional and physical effects, making it hard to feel safe, present, or connected. Trauma therapy aims to gently help you understand, process, and move through these experiences so they no longer define your daily life.

• 🧠 Building emotional awareness and acceptance, rather than avoiding painful memories

• 🧭 Strengthening coping skills to manage intense emotions as they arise

• 💪 Reconnecting with what truly matters to you and rebuilding a sense of agency — so you can move forward with greater clarity and self-trust.

This process is gentle and paced collaboratively, respecting your readiness at every step. You can’t change the past, but therapy can help you live more fully in the present — lighter, freer, and no longer defined by what happened.

Experiencing abuse can leave deep emotional and psychological wounds that affect trust, safety, and your relationship with yourself and others. Healing after abuse is not about “getting over it” — it’s about reclaiming your sense of safety, self-worth, and agency at your own pace.

The focus is on healing, empowerment, and growth, helping you move from surviving to living a more grounded, meaningful, and self-directed life.

Relationships are at the heart of our lives, yet they can also become a source of stress, frustration, and emotional pain. Whether it’s challenges with communication, trust, boundaries, or feeling connected to others, interpersonal difficulties can affect both personal well-being and everyday life.

Therapy provides a safe and supportive space to explore these patterns, understand their roots, and develop healthier ways of relating to others. Together, we can work to:

• 🤝 Strengthen communication and connection

• 🌿 Build confidence in setting and maintaining boundaries

• 🧭 Identify unhelpful relationship patterns and build healthier ways of connecting

• 💞 Cultivate deeper, more fulfilling connections.

• 💪 Rebuild trust and repair relationships after conflict or betrayal

The goal is to help you build healthier, more balanced relationships — where you can communicate clearly, set boundaries with confidence, and feel supported and energized by the connections in your life.

Our early experiences with caregivers shape how we connect, trust, and communicate in relationships as adults. These patterns, known as attachment styles, influence the way we respond to closeness, conflict, and emotional needs.

There are four main attachment styles: secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized.

• 🌿 Secure attachment — allows for trust, open communication, and emotional balance

• 💛 Anxious attachment — often involves a fear of rejection and a strong need for reassurance

• 💨 Avoidant attachment — tends to keep emotional distance and value independence over closeness

• 🌧️ Disorganized attachment — blends both fear and desire for connection, creating inner conflict

Understanding your attachment style isn’t about labels — it’s about awareness and growth. In therapy, with insight and support, it’s possible to develop healthier patterns, build deeper trust, and form more secure and fulfilling relationships.

Learning to express yourself clearly and set healthy boundaries is an essential part of building strong, respectful relationships — and taking care of your own well-being.

Assertiveness isn’t about being aggressive or controlling — it’s about expressing your needs and perspectives with clarity, confidence, and respect. Therapy provides a supportive space to:

• 💪 Strengthen self-trust and reduce guilt or fear around setting boundaries

• ✨ Foster healthier, more balanced personal and professional relationships

The goal is to help you feel grounded, respected, and empowered — so your voice feels steady and clear, no matter the situation.

Low self-esteem can quietly shape how you see yourself and the world — holding you back from opportunities, meaningful relationships, and a sense of self-worth.

Therapy can help you build a more confident and compassionate relationship with yourself, allowing you to move through life with greater ease and trust in who you are.

• 🌿 Identifying and understanding the roots of self-critical thoughts

• 🧭 Building self-acceptance and self-compassion

• 💪 Discover your strengths and clarify what truly matters to you — the values that guide how you want to live your life.

• ✨ Replacing self-doubt with a balanced, empowering inner voice

The goal is to help you recognize and trust your own worth, and to live more fully — feeling grounded, confident, and proud of who you are.
