Grace Doris

I am not available on Sundays and Mondays.

As an Intercultural Coach & Consultant with over 10 years of experience, I provide training and coaching for organisations who are dealing with :

- Managing diverse teams

- Working with international clients

- Managing a global organisation

- Cultural & racial diversity issues in the workplace

I also provide training and coaching for individuals who are :

- Preparing for international assignments

- Dealing with cross-cultural issues in relationships and in the workplace

For organisations, I provide sessions on Zoom or deliver sessions at the client's offices.

For individuals, tailored sessions to suit their needs can be delivered in person at my office or online on Zoom.

During training & coaching sessions, the first session will focus on understanding the client's expectations, objectives and how they define success. The rest of the training and coaching will be tailored accordingly in order to meet the needs of the client.

For coaching sessions, the first session will also include time to review the coaching contract, discuss how we would like to work together and for the client to ask any questions.

I provide sessions from Tuesdays - Saturdays but am not available on Sundays and Mondays.

Meeting my client's needs is a priority and because every client is different, having an integrated approach (drawing from the variety of theories and tools available from the different counselling approaches) enables me to do that.  While maintaining a person-centered way of relating to the client, I am also able to draw from various approaches eg psychodynamic, CBT, gestalt, positive psychology, etc,.. while also being trauma-aware.  

By providing a safe and compassionate space for clients to explore how to manage the physical, mental and emotional aspects of healing from trauma, clients are able to make sense of the past and gain skills and strategies which facilitate their healing and the development of emotional resilience for the journey ahead.  

Having also had 10 years of experience as an intercultural and relocation coach, I am able to work with issues of cultural and racial diversity and have 10 years of experience working with adult Third Culture Kids (TCKs) and highly mobile international assignees and families.  

I also offer Schema Therapy for clients interested in longer-term therapy.

For couples, I use an integrative approach as well, drawing from some of the best research and approaches currently available.

I offer a complimentary initial consultation (usually a 20 minute phone call or zoom call) for anyone who enquires so that potential clients have the opportunity to ask any questions they may have and for us to explore together how counselling can be helpful to them.

My counselling practice - Viewpoint Innovation Counselling offers online & telephone counselling along with face-to-face sessions which are held at my counselling office in Bridge of Don.  

Sessions are offered during the day and also in the evenings from Tuesday to Saturday each week.

For the first session, we will use the first few minutes to review and sign the counselling agreement, which I would have emailed to you in advance.  There is also the opportunity for the client to ask questions and for us to discuss how we would like to work together.  The client can also share what is on their mind that they would like to talk about in counselling.

I also invite my clients to go through the Core-10 form at the start of some sessions which is an efficient way for the client to communicate how they have been feeling over the past week.
