PSYCHOTHERAPY

ABOUT

We all need help navigating the challenges that life throws at us.

Starting in therapy can be one of the most empowering decisions you make for your mental and emotional well-being. Therapy offers a dedicated space to explore your feelings, understand yourself better and gain the tools to navigate life’s challenges with more resilience and clarity.

It's not just about overcoming obstacles—it's about discovering your own strength and potential to thrive.

I passionately believe that in a safe, judgement-free environment, all change and growth is possible.

MY PROCESS

I have a gentle, respectful, yet direct approach that encourages clients to feel empowered and understood as they work through their issues.

I work from trauma-informed and client-centred principles.

I draw on several evidence-based therapies including:

  • Acceptance and Commitment therapy

  • Narrative therapy

  • Solution Focused and Mindfulness approaches

  • Somatic and polyvagal practices

  • "Kaila has a very caring and gentle nature. Her help has been immeasurable in difficult times and she has also been fantastic in assisting me to navigate big life decisions."
