Holistic and Relational
Embracing a holistic philosophy in counselling, I deeply value the privilege of forging meaningful connections with those journeying through life's intricacies. My mission is to foster a genuine and welcoming space where individuals feel acknowledged, appreciated, and importantly, supported as they pursue their paths to healing and overall wellbeing. My educational journey, professional expertise, and personal life insights are intricately interlaced with my therapeutic method. I stand firm in my belief of every person's inherent uniqueness, worth, dignity, and capacity to overcome adversity. Leaning into diverse therapeutic practices, I tailor my approach to align with each individual's specific worries and aspirations. It's my aspiration that through this integrated practice, we can collaboratively create a safe haven to untangle, understand, tackle, and manage life's trials and tribulations.
Collaborative
Come into a place where we celebrate your unique story and acknowledge your strength. Your diverse background, history, and relationships make up who you are. Drawing from my own life and learning, I'll be your partner. You're in charge of your story; I'm just here to honor it. As we explore your past, confront today's issues, or plan for the future, we'll work together to find where you want to change. Here, transformation begins with mutual respect as we jointly craft the way ahead.
Integrative
Unlock the power of healing with a personalized therapy blend, crafted just for you. I weave together diverse counselling methods, anchored in empathy, personal respect, and an acute awareness of trauma. Our toolkit is rich – from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Solutions Focused Therapy (SFT), and more. We'll also sprinkle in mindfullness, the arts, journalling, and music, tailoring a plan that aligns perfectly with your values, unique character, and aspirations.
Strengths-based
We will look at some of life's challenges, but also explore the strengths that have brought you to this place. The fact that you are here suggests that you carry elements of strength, resilience and perseverance. In this season, you might wish you were stronger, you might not be holding everything together the way you want, you may be suffering, or experiencing great grief and loss, but somewhere even in all of that, you are here right now. We will explore those strands of hope and resilience.
