Clients needing help with stress and anxiety over life matters e.g. workplace issues, relationships or marriage ups-and-downs, divorce and separation; death including grief and loss; personal development (e.g. low self-esteem, standing up to bullying or narcissism) to managing health and personal wellbeing; assistance in being better parents; personal trauma incuding sexual assault or bodily harm and migration and separation trauma
I have a humanistic, person-centred approach. I use mindfulness, hypnotherapy, somatic (body-based) approach, psychodynamics (what has happened in a person's developmental years), and family constellations work (patterns or issues over generations). I also coach people at various career stages: job interviews to promotions to leadership development.
I like to help people become more self-aware, work out how and why the issues are arising (eg any patterns of behaviour). While I support you as you talk about your problems we work together to make solutions for the things you can change, and learn to accept those which are beyond your control.
