AWARENESS - CHOICE - COURAGE - CHANGE

My therapeutic style is compassionate, creative and direct.  My approach in counselling is to provide a safe, respectful, empathic and non-judgmental setting where you will be validated, supported and gently challenged.

I will listen to you and guide you toward a self compassionate awareness of how you are "stuck".  Whatever your obstacles, getting "unstuck" is a process of becoming more authentic with yourself and others. You will experience greater clarity, perspective, self compassion and empathy. 

I will support your own  unique process of personal growth so that you will have a greater capacity to:

• Communicate more effectively
• Address your fears
• Resolve conflicts
• Solve problems
• Know and manage your feelings and express your emotions
• Shift unproductive and hurtful patterns that interfere with your own growth and relationships
• learn self support and more readily except support form others
• Make peace with the past and view the present with greater clarity
• Initiate changes and make satisfying life choices with courage and confidence

Therapy doesn't have to be serious all of the time.  The work can be playful, lively, creative and poignant.  I bring warmth, attentiveness and a sense of humour to the counselling session.
