About Me
I understands how easily we can get stuck and how profoundly the stories and wounds from the past can impact our current relationships, situations and outcomes. I believe that building a relationship with my clients based on compassion, trust, empathy and mutual respect is essential to the counselling process. Within this relationship and safe environment, clients feel heard and cared for which allows them to create positive change in their lives.
My Approach
I believe in approaching health holistically which includes: physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual aspects. My approach to counselling is systemic, relational, attachment-focused and trauma-informed. I have specialized training in Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family System (IFS), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
