Gay McKinley Counselling and Psychotherapy

All of us have times in our lives when we feel that we’re in a fog and can’t seem to find our way out. This can be especially difficult if we are usually the ones that others rely on or it has never happened to us before. For some, it can be an all too familiar pattern. Maybe it is just the way we are. Or there may have been a specific event that has caused us to feel unable to cope.

One of my strongest beliefs is that every person is unique. I therefore work closely with my clients to select the most appropriate and self-empowering approach for each one. I also believe that the only way to deal with whatever pain one is experiencing, is to go through it; at the same time often the difficult or unwelcome things that happen to us in life can also provide the greatest learning for us.

I counsel individuals and couples in a number of areas including:
Dealing with depression
Living with loss
Adjusting to parenthood
Using anxiety
Relating effectively
Loving one's self
Digging under anger
