About
Counselling is all about meeting your needs. I believe you are the expert in your life and that we can utilise that expertise to create more harmony and connection with your self and others. Together, we focus on your problem, through your viewpoint, and identify your strengths. Working with your knowledge and experiences, we take apart the messy knot of problems, decide the focus and explore your options. We clarify your goals and develop your skills towards reaching them. When you are ready to let go of the fear, shame, frustration, anger or grief that is getting in your way, and get 'unstuck', call me and we can get started.
Depending on your specific needs, I draw from a number of therapeutic modalities, all incorporating a respectful, strengths-based, person-centred approach to connect with your feelings and needs. My background in the performing arts has given me a deep appreciation for the diversity in perspectives and choices we make, and ways to communicate effectively.
I am passionate about helping people work through difficult situations and stages of life, while respecting their individual perspectives and choices. We can discuss your deep and difficult issues and challenges, helping to create more harmony in your life. I will work with you to resolve your problems with understanding and empathy, and without judgement
