A certain amount of stress is necessary to motivate us in various life tasks. High levels of stress however wreaks havoc on our emotional, mental and physical health. And when stress is maintained at high levels over long periods of time it can lead to nervous system overwhelm and burn-out. You don't want to put your body or your mind through that. I should know, I've been there. And I can say with conviction that nothing in life is worth it.
Our work together involves co-creating a space where you can relax in the moment. In addition to this we develop strategies that will support you to deal with stress in your day-to-day life.
Covid amplified our insecurities so much! Our society was already so warped and misaligned, making how we relate more competitive and pressured than it was ever supposed to be. With that and social media, our ability to make life intentional and meaningful is in dire need of reevaluation!
You are so much greater than you can ever know! if only we could see ourselves the way others see us. Everyone is deserving of love, supportive relationships (friendships, lovers, meaningful connections) and fulfilment. It would be my honour to sit beside you and empower you to find your source of inner truth, turning down the volume of that critical voice in your head directing you away from your essential nature. Let us meet your particular flavour of greatness and travel together to relieve the pressure and start to make connection real again.
Balancing the positive aspects of stress (eustress) that help to motivate and inspire us, with the more negative or destructive aspects is a skill we often need to have an encouraging therapist to support us to enhance. Our therapists understand the impact of distress and cumulative stress and work with you to ensure you have practical, effective and tailored strategies for your current life situation, along with methods to address future stressful situations.
Stress can take a significant toll on your physical and emotional well-being. In therapy, I prefer to create a personalised treatment plan that practically addresses your unique sources of stress. Together, we might also explore the root causes of your stress, whether they stem from work, relationships, or other life pressures.

Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist and Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist
Stress is a broad topic and may take many different forms. From my experience of working with employee assistance programs I help people to manage work stress with respect to perfectionist demands they place on themselves. I also help people to better understand the family and work systems in which they operate in order to reduce stress

Stress can manifest in many different ways. I help my clients to explore these manifestations carefully before looking at ways to manage them. We will explore the distinction between stress associated with working life and life style, and stress that might have deeper origins such as the real and imagined expectations from others in our life.
My work focuses upon an holistic view of the individual and their history. This means our focus is less upon individual 'symptoms' and alleviation of these, and more upon what the 'symptom' might be communicating about imbalance in the individual. This leads on to an examination as to what needs to change at the level of body, mind, emotion and spirit.
