With 20 years of experience as a therapist, I provide individualized counselling from a client centred, strengths-based counselling model that is relational in nature, trauma informed and culturally sensitive. In this perspective, the client is the lead and the counsellor an aid to provide not only support but knowledge, tools and strategies with a secure foundation in scientific research specific to your unique struggles. The client sets counselling goals and the therapist assists to meet these goals in a manner unique to the client’s individual strengths and values.
I bring compassion, experience, curiosity and humour to create an environment which is supportive, non-judgemental, and facilitates change and growth so clients can achieve their personal goals. My perception of the ultimate goal for therapy is for the client to become their own therapist, improving their everyday life and overall well-being.
Reaching out for support can be difficult and demands respect from those of us that hold space for the healing journey of therapy. Email or call to set up a free, 15 minute phone consultation to determine fit for counselling.
