Why Counselling?

About Counselling

“When we encounter difficult times in our lives, often our initial strategy is to simply run away.
But we find that our troubles follow us. Paradoxically, one of the best ways to heal is to turn toward that which is injured within us.”
Jack Kornfield, Mindfulness teacher

My Counselling Approach

How I work with you

I am a humanistic integrative counsellor.

My counselling approach emphasises your unique potential for growth and fulfilment. It is holistic and creative in unblocking disruptions to psychological health and enabling strength and choice in the ‘here and now'. I integrate coaching skills in my counselling practice when you are ready to work on specific goals.

I use a blend of modalities tailored to suit your needs as a client. This is because my approach honours your uniqueness as an individual and as the expert in relation to your life. In fact, I believe that every individual is creative, resourceful and able, with guidance, to discover their answers and solutions.

I offer a safe, non-judgemental and empathetic space where I support you to focus, understand and reflect on what has brought you to the session. This process helps you understand yourself better, improve your relationship with yourself and others and identify blockages to your psychological health and growth. It also empowers you on your path towards flourishing, growth and balance where you can make effective and lasting changes in your life and find functional ways of coping with life's challenges.
