In our time together, you'll gain tailored exercises, insights, and tools that not only help you understand and manage your emotions but also guide you in building effective strategies for lasting change.
Stress & Anxiety
Life often brings challenges, and at times, the weight of stress and anxiety can feel immense. It might lead us to question why we're in its grasp and how to find relief.

Unseen Scars: How Hidden Childhood Moments Shape Our Adulthood
Childhood experiences deeply mold our adult perspectives, emotional health, and relationships. These past challenges often lead us to set high expectations for ourselves and those around us, influencing our interactions and decisions.
While these protective measures were essential during our formative years, they might not align with our current selves. Such defences, once vital for our protection, can now perpetuate limiting beliefs and emotional patterns as we navigate the complexities of adulthood."
Self-Esteem & Confidence
When we gaze into the mirror, it's not just our physical reflection we see, but also the echoes of our past experiences and emotions. Sometimes, this reflection radiates confidence and joy, but there are moments when doubt and self-criticism cloud our perception.
These moments of self-doubt often stem from past challenges, leading to feelings of inadequacy and a hesitancy to voice our needs. Such feelings can hinder our assertiveness, making us question our worth and desires.
Through a combination of neurological healing, nervous system techniques, and mindfulness, we can address these deep-seated beliefs. By fostering self-awareness and embracing holistic healing methods, you can reignite your inner spark.
Burnout: The Silent Strain
The persistent weight of exhaustion, both mentally and physically, can slowly creep into our daily lives. When this fatigue lingers, overshadowing moments of joy and affecting our performance, it's a clear indication of burnout. This state of chronic stress can leave us feeling drained, detached, and increasingly cynical.
Fortunately, I offer holistic approaches to address and alleviate burnout. Together, we'll work on strategies that rejuvenate your spirit and restore balance, allowing you to thrive without the sole reliance on temporary fixes.
Addictions & Habits
Addiction can be understood as a repeated behavior, stemming from trauma, avoidance, or blocked emotions, to which an individual feels irresistibly drawn. This pull persists even when it adversely affects their life and the lives of those around them.
Just as habits are formed, they can also be broken and transformed. Whether it's an inclination towards overworking, compulsive eating, or any other activity, it often represents an underlying attempt to cope or escape. Recognizing and addressing the root causes can pave the way for genuine healing and change
Performance Anxiety
Have you ever had to stand up in front of a crowd to present, and for some reason the words you want to say simply just can’t come out? You felt so confident after hours spent rehearsed and going over your script, but when the moment comes, you start to freeze up and stutter once you see everyone looking at you?
This is the brain triggering a fight or flight response, by interpreting your surroundings as “dangerous”. You may feel symptoms such as being overwhelmed and nervous while focusing on what can go wrong. Recode can reverse this feeling and allow your mind to understand the feeling of “all eyes on you” in a positive manner.
Other Areas
As well as the areas above, I also regularly work with clients in the areas highlighted below:
Purpose is more than just a concept; it's the compass that guides us towards a life filled with meaning and fulfillment. It's the driving force that motivates us to contribute positively to the world, enriching not only our own lives but also the lives of those around us. For many, purpose transcends the boundaries of a job or career, becoming a beacon that illuminates the path to genuine happiness.
While some may find alignment between their profession and purpose, like a therapist driven by a genuine desire to help others, not everyone discovers their true calling in their day-to-day work. Together, we can embark on a journey to uncover your unique purpose and chart a course to activate and embrace it. If you're ready to delve deeper into this transformative exploration, consider scheduling a session with me.
