Working with Adults…

You know the type of stereotypical therapists which many people imagine, sits back, knowingly, eyebrows furled, while nodding, “how does that make you feel?”

That doesn’t happen here…

With adults, we act as a team in a working relationship. Most of the work happens between sessions, applying what we work on in session. We discuss your personal situation with empathy and care, collaboratively create plans, anticipate barriers, troubleshoot and test. I experiment, refine, and build until you are comfortable in the positive change you have built.

The vast majority of clients who come to see me in session report quick and significant positive change in their lives. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and is the main reason I keep doing what I’m doing.


In any therapeutic relationship, whether it be me, another therapist or another therapy model, the level of trust and connection a person has in their mental health care practitioner plays the greatest role in whether the therapy will be successful or not. If for any reason, either of us feel it may not be a match, we can refer on to another practitioner who may be better suited to your specific needs, whatever that may be.


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I can help adults with:

  • Anxiety

    One of our key goals to treating anxiety is letting go of the struggle to control unwanted thoughts and feelings, being mindfully aware of the present moment, and committing to a course of action that is consistent with what you value most in life.

  • Relationships

    Should I go? Should I stay? How do I relay my needs and feelings to others? Relationships are complex even in the best of circumstances. We believe that you can get better clarity.

  • LGBTQ+ Friendly

    Helping you to explore and navigate all of life’s complexities, building relationship skills, facilitating difficult conversations and transitions, and improving your overall wellbeing.

  • Depression

    PTW explores how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviour impact your overall well-being, then looks to hold these experiences in a different light to encourage a more enjoyable life experience. I include mindful practices to help people increase awareness and develop an attitude of acceptance and compassion in the presence of painful thoughts and feelings.
