Asta Brandes

I currently have availability on Mondays and Fridays, as well as Zoom/Phone sessions on Wednesday evenings. 

I trust that we all have the capacity to grow, repair, find balance and build resilience. As an integrative practitioner, I draw on multiple therapy models aiming to create a safe, non-judgmental and highly personalized way of working. My aim is to provide a space that encourages authenticity, openness and personal growth.

I have a keen interest in the field of positive psychology, a field that enables individuals to thrive through the cultivation of what is best in all of us.

You may or may not already have a clear goal on what you would like to gain from counselling.  Whatever your starting point is, we will establish a goal or multiple goals towards which we will direct the therapeutic process, safely and non-judgementally.

I have experience working with a range of difficulties, including low mood and depression, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, traumatic events, loss, anger, obsessive-compulsive behaviours, relationships, sexuality, and issues around lack of meaning and fulfillment.

I encourage people from all backgrounds, ethnicities, cultures, identities, faiths, disability, sexuality, age and gender into my practice. 

I work with young adults, adults and senior citizens, providing counselling on both short term and long-term basis. 

I also work via Zoom or over the phone.

I invite you to an initial free phone consultation after which you can decide whether you would like to meet in person.
