As an accredited counsellor, my role is to provide you with a safe space to talk about what is on your mind. The sessions are confidential and I work in a non-judgmental way.
Counselling is not about me telling you what to do, nor is it about giving advice. The principles I follow are led by a person-centred approach. This means that I believe each of us has the resources and the ability to heal ourselves, and it is my role to be a facilitator to help you explore your issues and concerns in an objective and empathetic way.
I draw on practices from mindfulness and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), as well as other creative techniques. This allows me to work in a holistic way with clients, which in turns becomes a very individual experience. I am also an EMDR Practitioner, which is a technique that is very effective for those who have experienced trauma, high anxiety or phobias, among much more.
Counselling gives people a secure, confidential environment where they can express and understand their feelings, thoughts and emotions. I can help you to explore whatever is on your mind in an objective way. I won't judge you. For some people, talking can be hard, that is why I draw on other techniques to allow for you to process your thoughts and feelings without always having to talk about painful experiences.
