Message from Eddy

Therapy is a powerful means to explore, grow and turn pains into wisdom.

From my experiences in therapy, I have noticed that the paradigm of modern life places a lot of pressure on an individual’s mental health. This is because modern life comes with a lot of complexity and demands. Today, people pursue a combination of identity, lifestyle, fulfilment, achievement, supportive relationships, a work-life balance, financial gain, career progression, a bigger world purpose, and more. Navigating these demands can strain our mental health over time.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, empty, or inadequate, I can help you. If you want to explore and unlock more of your potential, I can help you. I do my utmost to provide a warm, supportive and nonjudgmental space, where you can express your story and needs. I am committed to understanding you as a whole person, as we build a path forward.

Together, we will discover root causes to current problems and directly address the underlying source of distress to soothe your experience. In addition, we can uncover unhelpful patterns of behaviour, thoughts, and emotions that impact your life and relationships.

I strive to deliver therapy that is collaborative, empowering and practical. Every client is important to me as I believe everyone comes to therapy to not only resolve issues but to enact meaningful change.
