Career Guidance Therapists in Ottery

Clients have different needs that they would seek assistance with from a competent professional. The client needs to be heard and their feelings validated. I provide a safe and confidential space for clients 14 years old and above to engage with me. My specialist Counselling knowledge and approach will put the client at ease and allow the therapy to take its course. I acknowledge that each individual requires different levels of support and based on that, I apply my technique of empathetic listening and appropriate counselling as required.

Counselling has become a part of my life and I believe that we should all strive to be our true authentic self. Counselling is not just a career but a calling where I can see how my purpose fuels my passion. Working as an effective, competent counsellor is what drives the level of integrity and willingness to see a difference in clients’ lives. Therefore I am dedicated to provide psychological services to individuals, toddlers, adolescents, young adults, adults, groups, couples and families. My aim is to create a space where clients can be their authentic self's.

My name is Ganeefa Ismail a Registered Specialist Wellness Counsellor in private practice I am a single mom, divorced for +5 years, raising two beautiful girls. I am a lifelong student always seeking new opportunities to upskill myself. I am passionate about healing, self-growth and spirituality. I am on a permanent self-reflective journey always trying to improve myself and find my optimum balance. It is for this reason that my practice is based on a holistic mindset and wellness is always integrated within the therapy because the client needs to focus on not just the mind, but the body and soul too.

Everybody faces challenges at different stages of life. Some greater than others. I enjoy witnessing the strength of the human spirit and the will to survive. I aim is to help the client to focus on their strengths (rather than their weaknesses). Furthermore to capitalise on their strengths and to realise their full potential. In times of crisis people tend to forget that they have actually overcome so much in life already and given the support they will be able to do so again. My motto is: Never Give Up!

It is often hard for us to acknowledge when our usual way of coping no longer feels enough. Someone once said; ‘Asking for help is not a sign of weakness, it is wisdom’ (author unknown).

My approach is warm, non-judgmental and person-centred. I will offer you emotional support alongside psycho-education about mental wellbeing, whatever your circumstances or stage of life.

My ideal client would be someone who has not had an easy start in life. Things have never been easy for them. Challenges have always been thrown at them, and they just dont know when the bad hand that life has dealt them, will come to an end. My client has a bit of a negative mindset as a result of some vast obstacles and he or she always thinks that life will be tough for them. However, there is a part of them that just won't allow them to give up, no matter how much they have wanted to. My clients goals are to get their mind positive and to change the way they see situations. They know a positive mindset, is a receipe for success.

At a young age I began to discern my high levels of empathy for those in pain & this I believe in part is because of my own story of brokenness. People tended to open up to me quite easily about their personal stories. My whole heart gravitated towards the helping profession specifically within the spaces of healing, empowering , inspiring & teaching. I unequivocally know that my life's work is to help others to become products of their purpose and not their pain.To flourish in the areas of emotion, relationships, meaning, accomplishment and engagement. ( Martin Seligman). To thrive and not merely survive.
