Hello and Welcome!
My name is Kayla, and I am SO glad that you are here. I truly believe that one of the bravest (and most challenging) things you can do is take the first step towards self-growth and healing. So congratulations on taking the step that led you to this website.
I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with over 8 years of experience working within the mental health sector. I have experience working with a variety of presenting issues including, trauma, depression, self-esteem issues, anxiety, and pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns.
I use a person-centred approach, and am experienced using the following interventions: Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBCT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), as well as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
I believe in utilising a strengths-based approach in each session, and will work alongside you to accomplish your goals. When working with me, I make the commitment to ensuring that you feel safe, supported, and accepted for who you are. I commit to working in collaboration with you as we build your self-compassion, reconnect with your inner strength, and develop some new ways of coping. I commit to ensuring that you never have to doubt the validity of your goals or struggles.
Here are some of my core beliefs:
-
Everyone deserves to live a life that is safe, fulfilling, and full of connection to the things you love
-
Humans are relational creatures, we were not made to face challenges alone
-
Every person is the expert of their own life & has the capacity to make the changes and/or grow in the way they desire
-
Warmth, trust, and connection are some of the most important roots for healing
-
When in doubt, use mindfulness and gratitude
I would love to connect with you!
With care,
Kayla
