Mind and Meaning

persistent worrying...

Talk therapy is a structured, supportive space to slow things down, understand what’s driving your thoughts and the meaning we make, and develop practical tools to respond to life with more clarity and confidence.

Overthinking & Rumination

When your mind won't stop spinning—replaying conversations, worrying about the future, or getting stuck in "what if" loops.

Self-Criticism & Perfectionism

A harsh inner critic that's never satisfied, driving you to impossible standards while eroding your confidence and peace.

Anxiety & Worry

Persistent worry, mental exhaustion, panic, or a constant sense that something bad is about to happen.

Self-Doubt & Imposter Feelings

Feeling like a fraud, questioning your abilities, or waiting to be "found out" despite your accomplishments.

Depression & Burnout

Low motivation, emotional exhaustion, feeling flat or disconnected from things that used to matter to you.

People-Pleasing & Boundaries

Patterns of over-functioning, difficulty saying no, guilt around prioritizing yourself, or codependency in relationships.

Difficulty Making Decisions

Feeling paralyzed by choices, unsure where to start, or struggling to follow through on goals you've set.

Relationship Patterns

Repeating unhealthy dynamics, communication breakdowns, or struggling to connect authentically with others.

Feeling Stuck in Cycles

Familiar patterns or unhelpful habits that keep showing up despite your best efforts to change them.

What Therapy Looks Like

Mind & Meaning focuses on understanding how thoughts, beliefs, and behaviours interact—and how to shift them to create real change.

CBT

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Exploring thoughts, beliefs, and behavioural patterns. We use cognitive restructuring to identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns that contribute to difficult emotions and behaviours.

SFBT

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy

Structured goal-setting and reflection that focuses on solutions rather than problems. We identify what's already working and build on your existing strengths and resources.

REBT

Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy

Challenge unhelpful beliefs and self-talk that create emotional disturbance. We work to replace rigid, demanding thoughts with more flexible, realistic perspectives.

ACT

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy

Identify values and goals that guide intentional action. We develop psychological flexibility—the ability to be present, open up, and do what matters to you.

Additional Skills We Build Together

  • Developing problem-solving, coping, and communication skills
  • Psychoeducation around emotional regulation and boundaries
  • Shifting from self-judgement to self-compassion
  • Building insight into why you think, feel, and react the way you do

People in Transition

Those navigating burnout, stress, career changes, relationship shifts, or other big life transitions that require clarity and direction.
