I welcome individuals, couples and families, while accommodating clients with sessions after office hours and over weekends. I specialise in providing counselling and tools to men & women ranging between the ages of 15 and 65+ who are struggling with identity, intimacy, lack of purpose, feelings of inadequacy, depression, looking for meaning in their lives, and a lack of meaning relationships. I have a passion for working with couples & families who have conflict or communication problems. I have extensive experience in working with career focused clients, conducting career planning, coaching & counselling.
I have 10+ years experience working in coaching, counselling and mentoring within the commercial and private sectors. I have a holistic approach to treatment and challenge my clients’ critical & analytical thinking processes, while reconciling their thoughts with their emotions, values, beliefs and future goals. A counselor works on short & long term issues.
It's okay not to be ok. Everyone needs help from time to time. My passion is guiding clients and providing them with tools and techniques to overcome their seemingly impassable obstacles. I believe in my clients and aim to invest in their quality of life, believing that they can and should live their best lives. Do not hesitate to reach out at 078 485 4482.
