If you're looking for a run of the mill counsellor or mental health professional to assist with your mental health queries, feel free to contact one of my very capable colleagues. I look at life through a different lens, with a transpersonal -even spiritual- mindfulness-based filter. Expect to see life from a broader perspective, while still being very practical. Expect to work from the inside out: YOU will change, and then your circumstances will. Understanding how you (and your brain) operate will help you manage your emotions and behaviour more effectively. This, in turn, will make you less sensitive to (negative) emotion-shifts.
Counsellors and Psychologists provide similar services, in many ways. I specialise in assisting clients with "simplifying life", and am experienced in dealing with symptoms of mental ill-health, anxiety, trauma, depression and high stress levels. Primary modalities used are Mindfulness integrated CBT (MiCBT), EMDR and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
I practice counselling and coaching differently, even though I use the evidence-based modalities that work. I focus on results. If you're up for something different (potentially because you've tried "everything else" before) to get a better result, then we should meet for a coffee or tea. I offer 15-minute initial meet-ups for you to "check me out".
