English
| español I work from a client-centered approach, where the core of my approach is a focus on building connection through trust and safety. I see what is alive for my clients and connect with other parts of their inner worlds, not just the problems they bring and share. I think it is crucial to be able to see the essence of the person and work from their strengths. I focus on my client’s purposes and intentions as the core of our relationship.
I believe my clients might say that I am very warm, empathic, and not afraid to ask questions that initiate reflective processes that can help them find answers that can guide their individual journey of change.
What I love most about being a counsellor is joining therapeutic conversations by understanding each person’s unique experience and view of their world and respecting individual differences and ways of dealing with life. I believe clients are the experts of their own lives and it is an honour to support them with their individual process of change.
