POSITIVE-COPING-MECHANISMS Addiction takes a variety of forms. It can be a chemical substance such as alcohol or cocaine or a behavioural addiction such as gaming, sex or gambling. People battling with addiction generally have a genetic vulnerability related to dopamine (reward) pathways.  Learn More
INCREASED-MENTAL-STAMINA Everyone’s brain is wired differently. People with ADHD have been extensively studied using specialized brain scans which show a reduced amount of certain brain hormones (notably dopamine and noradrenaline) to the front part of their brains which controls organization, concentration, impulsivity and certain memory functions. Learn More
Anxiety is an overwhelming sense of worry and dread. You realize that you are worrying about everything & anything. Things that others do not even think of. You cannot let this worry go. It goes round in circles & gets to a point where you cannot think clearly. Learn More
All people have ups and downs in their mood. Sometimes these up or downs are severe and sustained with associated behaviour changes. Learn More
Depression is a biological illness which can be caused by a number of things including inherited genes, stress or illness. It is not just a sad mood and affects all parts of your body & mind. I like to describe it as looking at life through dark glasses. It affects the way you see yourself, others and the world. Learn More
Our relationship with food can be a complex one. Food should be enjoyed in moderation and be a normal, routine part of our day. Sometimes, when we don’t feel great about the way we look, we starve ourselves.  Learn More
SLEEP-WELL A good night’s sleep can change the way we feel and take on our day. With the increased demands in this modern day, sleep can often be affected by stress and you may have difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep or waking up in the early morning. Learn More
Becoming a mum can be the hardest thing you will ever do. Motherhood is something you want to do perfectly yet you will often feel you have very little control over anything.  Sometimes things do not go as you have planned and this causes you to feel overwhelmed and inadequate. Learn More
 Obsessive compulsive disorder is a disabling disorder where you have unwanted and repeated thoughts, feelings, ideas, sensations (obsessions), and behaviours which drive you to do something over and over (compulsions) Learn More
 Psychotherapy is a treatment that involves ‘talk therapy’ in order to identify stressors and behaviours that impact your life and prevent you from moving forward in life. The focus is recognizing and acknowledging the things you cannot change and focus on changing relationships and behaviours that are within your control.  Learn More
Relationships are complex and take many different forms. Relationships can bring us the most joy but can also be the most destructive parts of our lives. Learn More
REST-RHYTHMS Schizophrenia is a chronic, psychotic disorder. It can be hereditary, occur on its own or be precipitated by substance abuse. Misfirings in the brain cause you to experience things that are not real such as hearing voices that others do not hear or seeing things that others do not see. Learn More
EMBRACING-SEXUALITY Sex is not only a basic survival instinct but also a vital part about how we connect intimately as human beings. Many of us battle with body image, intimacy and physical difficulties with attaining sexual intimacy and pleasure. You may have experienced prior trauma which inhibits or interferes with a healthy relationship with sex. Learn More
Life is full of unfortunate occurrences that come out of nowhere and are out of our control. Sometimes trauma and loss can be overwhelming! You may feel that you just cannot cope or move forward in life. Learn More
