About me
I am a professional counsellor, psychotherapist, mindfulness, meditation and Reiki educator, who is passionate about consciousness and helping others to discover meaningful ways to live.
My Expertise
I am trained in several psychological therapies that include Psychodynamic Therapy, CBT, SFBT, Systematic Therapy and Narrative Therapy. I am practicing meditation and mindfulness for over 15 years and it is an essential part of my daily life. Mindfulness helps me to live in the moment and be fully present with people I works with.
Who I want to work with?
I am passionate about supporting people through their journey and empowering them by showing respect, empathy and unconditional positive regard.
It has been a privilege to work with such a variety of clients, from various ages, cultures and issues they were facing. I have worked with individuals and couples struggling with a wide range of issues including trauma, depression, anxiety, loss and bereavement, relationship issues, couple counselling, family therapy, workplace issues, adjusting to life transitions, challenges and change, generalized anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, unexplained physical complaints, sexual difficulties, sexuality issues, attention deficit disorder and substance abuse issues, among others.
My Approach
My approach to therapy is mindful, holistic and relational. I believe that the therapeutic relationship between the client and the therapist is the key to healing. I strive to create a safe, supportive and comfortable environment where difficult issues can be discussed with confidentiality. I use different modalities depending on the needs of the client and utilise mindfulness techniques to raise the level of awareness and clarity, which leads to conscious choices and change.
I work in a compassionate and collaborative framework helping clients make sense of their inner emotional life and how this impacts on their self-esteem and relationships. I assist the client by going to the source of their distress by exploring how they think, feel and behave. These processes are often unconscious and thus can maintain a person’s internal suffering causing emotional pain, personal unhappiness & relationship disharmony. The work involves learning to manage strong emotions and forming a balanced perspective of oneself and the world. This approach facilitates greater self acceptance, healing and personal growth.
