FUNDING OPTIONS
AREAS OF EXPERIENCE
Navigate the emotional, physical and social effects of, and heal from, adverse childhood experiences, family or domestic abuse, assault, workplace incidents, grief/loss, attachment wounds and physical injury.
Trauma
Manage conflict, improve communication skills (including boundaries), address safety concerns, rewrite old ways of thinking/behaving, strengthen connections, and explore intimacy issues.
Social & Family Relationships
Challenge self-critical thought patterns, heal your relationship with your body and food, improve your sense of confidence and trust, tackle perfectionism, and learn how to celebrate your strengths.
Self-Esteem & Body Image
Understand and befriend your anxious brain, find relief from overthinking, rewire cognitive patterns, manage intrusive thoughts, improve emotion regulation, and reduce avoidance behaviours.
Anxiety
Slow down, reduce overwhelm, prevent or heal from burnout, reconnect with your body, improve mood, address sleep difficulties, make important decisions, and choose to live a life aligned with your values.
Holistic Health & Wellbeing
Improve functioning, cope with persistent discomfort and uncertainty, adjust to change (in identity, work, activity levels or relationships), and manage the emotional impact of living in pain.
Chronic Pain & Illness
“An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. When life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means it’s going to launch you into something great. So just focus, and keep aiming.”
