What Can We Help With?
Anxiety & Stress
Anxiety can manifest in various ways, including excessive worry, racing thoughts, irrational fears, sleep disturbances, rapid heart rate, irritability, sweating, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.
Depression & Mood Disorders
Depression can manifest in various ways, including persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, changes in appetite or sleep, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and feelings of worthlessness or hopelessness.
ADHD & Neurodiversity
ADHD and neurodiversity encompass a range of cognitive styles and behaviours, such as difficulty with attention and organization, impulsivity, and emotional regulation. These traits reflect a different way of processing information and interacting with the world.
Self-esteem & Self-sabatoge
Low self-esteem and self-sabotage can manifest in various ways, including negative self-talk, fear of failure, procrastination, and reluctance to pursue goals. These patterns can significantly impact your confidence and success.
Perfectionism & People-pleasing
Perfectionism and people-pleasing often involve setting excessively high standards for oneself, seeking constant approval, and struggling with self-criticism. These patterns can lead to stress and difficulty in setting healthy boundaries.
Chronic Illness
Chronic illness involves ongoing health conditions that can affect various aspects of life, from managing symptoms and treatment routines to daily activities. Many individuals with chronic illnesses face the added challenge of being gaslit or abandoned by the healthcare system, feeling dismissed or misunderstood.
Work Stress & Burnout
Work stress and burnout can manifest as chronic exhaustion, detachment, and diminished performance. These conditions often arise from excessive demands, lack of support, or unmanageable workloads.
Sports Performance
The pressure of sports performance can lead to intense stress, self-doubt, and burnout. Athletes often face high expectations, both from themselves and others, which can impact mental and emotional well-being.
Navigating Identity
Navigating identity can involve various aspects such as questioning personal values, exploring gender identity and sexual orientation, dealing with societal expectations, and understanding your role in different contexts. This journey can bring up feelings of confusion, self-doubt, and a search for belonging.
