A client should feel empowered to express their current symptoms, needs and goals. A person's identity is not defined by a clinical diagnosis and subsequent treatment plan. An ideal client comes with some awareness and willingness to expose vulnerability and work toward their goals. At first, that task can be frightening and daunting. A client must be courageous and vigilant in the pursuit of their goals and on the path to healing. They do not walk that path alone, but lean on the support of a trustworthy, experienced and professional therapist that lights up a path.

As a life coach with a doctorate in depth psychology, I work in a psychologically savvy way, without losing the dynamism of coaching. I facilitate ‘lucid living’ in my clients – an ability to act, think, and feel in agreement with one’s truest self. Whatever issue you are addressing, I assume that something in you knows the right approach to it, although discovering this may require the help of others. I also assume that no-one wants to merely make the dysfunctional functional: We all desire exceptional levels of vitality, creativity, and resilience.

There are times in our lives when we experience deep emotional pain that doesn't go away by itself. Sometimes, we can't even put our finger on what is bothering us, but it's there in the background. This can leave you feeling empty and alone. You've tried things to feel better, but as Rumi says, "maybe you're searching in the branches for what is found in the roots." In childhood, many of us suffered from the experience of emotional neglect, or CEN. That's when our needs and feelings weren't acknowledged or validated ENOUGH. We're left to our own devices to make sense of what happened... or didn't happen.
