Early life experiences can lead to a variety of thinking styles, body reactions and relationship patterns.  These develop into coping strategies that can impact on stress levels, mood and influence behaviours. For example, you might be predicting the worst possible outcome, or focusing solely on your mistakes. Such thinking would make life hard for anyone!

Cassie enjoys helping clients discover how their thoughts, feelings and body all work together as a system, and the strategies that help this system to return to a state of calm.

Cassie works from a trauma-informed perspective. For those who have experienced harm in relationships, talking to a psychologist can be a very scary experience. Cassie seeks to build trust with clients.  This might look like regular pauses within sessions to check how a client is coping, or getting feedback and permission before continuing on a topic.
