At this time I am able to meet Online Sessions only. Video and/or Audio
In addition to general counselling issues such as anxiety, depression, loss & grief, transitions and change, relationships, I have specialty counselling areas that include HSP highly sensitive personality traits / SPS sensory processing sensitives / Empathic traits. I am happy to consult with individuals, parents and family members. I have been able to advocate within work situations, for example, to assist in balancing your sensory needs to be your best and get through the work week.
I use talk therapies (including vicarious nature therapy) to effectively work through and manage issues such as boundaries; relationships; various types of anxiety; depressive symptoms; self esteem; people pleasing traits; distorted thoughts such as catastrophizing.
I also include psychological education to better understand and interpret the many components of HSP and SPS over your lifetime and within relationships. There is simply lots to know, share, and feel good about, even after years of not thinking of your sensitivities as acceptable. I too live with highly sensitive personality traits.
