How we help
Springate Counselling believes in a collaborative and tailored approach to meet your unique goals and needs.
I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches, including acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and exposure and response prevention (ERP).
My clinical areas of focus include:
(click any box for details)
Anger
Anger is a natural emotion. It can become a concern when it begins to shape how we respond to the people and situations in our lives.
Anxiety
When worry begins to take over your thoughts or influence your choices, it can become exhausting.
Burnout
Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion that can develop when you’ve been carrying too much for too long without enough time to recover.
Caregiver Stress
Whether you’re supporting a child, partner, parent, or another loved one, the responsibility of caring for someone else can leave little time or energy to care for yourself.
Depression
Depression can affect the way you think, feel, and experience the world around you. Therapy offers a compassionate place to begin reconnecting with yourself.
Grief and Loss
Grief is a deeply personal experience that comes with losing someone or something meaningful. It can be unpredictable, and there is no right or wrong way to grieve.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
OCD often involves unwanted thoughts, images, or urges that create intense discomfort or anxiety. These experiences can feel upsetting, confusing, or even frightening.
Relationships
Relationships can be one of the greatest sources of connection, support, and joy in our lives, but they can also bring some of our deepest challenges.
Self-Esteem
When your self-esteem is low, you may feel like you are not good enough, question your decisions, or focus more on your mistakes than your strengths.
Trauma
Trauma can change the way you experience yourself, other people, and the world around you. Even after the traumatic event has passed, your mind and body may continue responding as though the danger is still present.
