COUNSELLING
Counselling is a creative, very human process. I work with a client centred, integrative approach drawing from a range of counselling modalities. This helps to ensure that the counselling process is flexibly designed to meet your needs.
The art of conversation, reflecting on one’s deepest issues, life path, pain and joy can be a transformative experience leading to insights and change. Witnessing and facilitating this therapeutic process and positive outcomes for clients is what continually renews my passion for this work.
I work with adults, teens and children. For younger children I work with play therapy.
We can meet in person or using video tele-health or phone.
Potential beneficial outcomes:
reduction in depression and anxiety
increased resilience
increased confidence and self esteem
stronger coping skills
improved relationships
self awareness
stronger sense of purpose and direction
increased ability to regulate emotions
