I am extremely passionate about people, and I hope this comes to the fore as I help the victims of trauma, depression, anxiety, fear, phobias, domestic abuse, conflict resolution, personal coaching, job debriefing, and those with relational or even spiritual struggles, reach a place of emotional health. As a life-long student with a diverse educational portfolio, I am dedicated to ongoing research and study concerning human suffering, and how we can better achieve wellness. My concern spreads to helping people achieve; a strong inner being, kind, loving, empathic relationships, moving towards emotional care. I practice an integrated approach to therapy, with counselling models that are introduced to an individual in their context. I feel that the client is in part an expert of their condition, and that the clinician is the guide to emotional health. I believe in practicing a partnership approach with each client. I strongly believe in the power of relationships, that they can be uplifting, caring and compassionate. With this I endeavour to bring to therapy a strong values approach that integrates; curiosity, intuition, personal integrity, respect, non-judgmentalism, trust, confidentiality, compassion & empathy, listening skills, tolerance, and sensitivity. I further believe that each of us are a sacred composite of mind, body, soul, and spirit, necessitating an integration of all aspects for healing.
