Individual Therapy —Deep Insight, Real Change

 

I do some of my most powerful work individually, helping clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, sexual concerns, and personal growth. See here for a list of issues I work with. While couples counselling focuses on communication and connection, individual therapy is where we can focus entirely on you, untangling the emotional and mental knots that keep you stuck.

My approach to individual counselling is active and engaged—I don’t believe in just nodding along and letting you flounder. Clients value my keen analytical mind, deep empathy, and ability to quickly get to the heart of what’s happening, providing a clear roadmap out of the difficulties they are experiencing. I frequently see this work ripple outward, improving not just personal well-being, but also relationships with loved ones—because a rising tide lifts all boats, and relationships are only ever as strong and healthy as the people within them.

 


I work with individuals who want to:

  • Understand themselves more deeply
  • Reduce suffering and heal from past experiences
  • Identify and break free from unconscious patterns that hold them back
  • Make sense of how they got here and where they want to go
  • Develop emotional awareness and reconnect with themselves

This might mean resolving past traumas, becoming more in tune with emotions and the body, or living more consciously, with greater agency over choices, behaviors, and boundaries.

From there, therapy with me is about real, tangible change—understanding what could be different and how to make that a reality.

Much of my work is shaped by having been on the other side of the therapy room myself; I know what ineffective therapy feels like—when a therapist doesn’t quite grasp what’s going on or doesn’t know how to help.

That experience informs the way I work now: clear, direct, and deeply attuned to what you actually need to move you forward

Slide 1

"Through couples therapy with Vivian me and my wife were able to deeply transform a seemingly impossible impasse in our relationship. Vivian guided us with warmth, care and a profound understanding of both of our lives. The fact that me and my wife got married and had a child after her therapy is testament to her incredible work. Our relationship has flowered beautifully. During individual therapy with Vivian I was able to develop composure in facing challenging circumstances and take control of my life, which I am deeply grateful for."— M (Couple/individual 2024)
