I specialize in trauma; so my ideal client would be an individual who wants to work through past trauma. My ideal client's goals are self-discovery and personal growth; they should have a need to explore their past and present, to build a better future. My ideal client is someone who wants to change.

My ideal client is between the ages of 16 and 55 years old. They are addicted to a substance or behaviour but they cannot afford to or have the time to check into in patient treatment. Their goal is to achieve long term sobriety as well as insight and awareness into their addiction and behaviours with an experienced addiction professional.

My ideal client is motivated and honest and prepare to face their issues. A client needs to be committed to the process of change to reach their goals. Their issues include amongst others, dealing with trauma, loss, meaning in life questions, depression, anxiety, fear of the future, lifespan developmental challenges, and relationships. Their goals would be to clarify their issues and identify potential causes, both by gaining insight in their internal worlds as well as their interpersonal behavior. They acknowledge the spiritual dimension of existence and seek a meaningful relationship with God.

Counselling involves the supportive role provided by an empathic counsellor who facilitates a process of in depth self examination, awareness and healing in individuals and relationships. I guide this process by exploring deep rooted belief systems that drive behaviour and emotional reactions in everyday life, ultimately facilitating and providing support through the change process. Clients are given a warm and safe environment where they can express themselves openly and at their own pace, without fear of judgement.

The great thing about this one thing was that I had complete control over changing it and making it work. I have used this one thing to better my relationship and now I am in the happiest, most loving relationship that I have ever been in!
