Negative thoughts play a big part in causing and making anxiety and depression worse. On the other hand, anxiety and depression make these negative thoughts even stronger. It’s important to realize that constantly having negative thoughts can make a person feel drained and hopeless. This can stop someone from growing and being happy. However, getting out of this harmful cycle requires replacing negative tendencies with more positive ones. Accepting imperfections, acknowledging accomplishments, and practicing self-love can all help a person grow and find real happiness.

My goal as a psychotherapist is to empower you to gain control over your negative thinking habits and develop a more optimistic and resilient mindset. By working together, we can create lasting change and help you experience a greater sense of well-being and fulfillment in your life.

We’ll face your negative self-talk head-on and break the patterns that have been holding you back. The people I’ve worked with using this approach have experienced a profound internal shift—they feel more satisfied, energetic, peaceful, and joyful. Book an appointment with me today and take the first step towards a brighter, more fulfilling future.

Natalie Del Grande (She/Her/Hers), MACP, RP (Qualifying)

Have you been considering attending counselling? Maybe you have been feeling stressed or overworked, experiencing relational problems, or just cannot seem to find the time or motivation to get what you need to get done in a day? This can be frustrating and tiresome for a person; however, these problems are not as uncommon as one might think. Many people will try different approaches to tackle these problems on their own and see very little to no progress. This can be disheartening and lead one to feeling stuck in their current situation.

I am a Master of Arts Counselling Psychology student with a CRPO-Qualifying status. I am interested in both individual and couple counselling. My approach is based in Humanistic theory but is personalized to you. My aim is to collaborate with you to work through the different challenges you might be facing. By working together, you will not have to face them alone and will have my support throughout the counselling process.
