About me and my therapy practice
My own journey as a person-centred counsellor is a testament to the transformative power of compassion, creativity, and resilience. My life experiences have moulded me into a counsellor who walks alongside clients, offering unwavering support as they navigate the complexities and challenges of their own lives. I am committed to continuing this journey, learning, growing, and evolving alongside my clients, and helping them discover the boundless possibilities that lie within them. For me, counselling is not just a profession; it's a lifelong calling to re-discover hope, empowerment, and transformation for those clients I have the privilege to work with.
I view therapy as a dynamic journey of self-discovery and growth, closely collaborating with clients, exploring possibilities, navigating challenges, and tapping into their strengths. Together, we create a secure, nurturing space where clients find their voice, rebuild self-worth, and embark on their unique path to their best life.
Practice description
I view therapy as a dynamic and ongoing process, not as a destination but as a journey of self-discovery and growth. I collaborate with my clients to explore possibilities, navigate challenges, and tap into their innate strengths. Together, we create a safe and nurturing space where clients can find their voice, rebuild their sense of self-worth, and embrace their unique journey towards living their best life.One of my distinct strengths is infusing creativity into my practice. I firmly believe that creativity opens pathways to healing and growth. Whether through art, storytelling, or mindfulness, I encourage clients to explore their inner worlds, fostering self-expression and empowering them to discover their resources and resilience.
As I embraced the role of counsellor, I encountered clients from diverse backgrounds, each carrying their unique burdens, from anxiety and depression to trauma and loss. Our work validated their stories, facilitating a shared exploration of their pain and, ultimately, fostering a recognition of their own resilience.
