“A thought is harmless unless we believe it. It’s not our thoughts, but our attachment to our thoughts, that causes suffering. Attaching to a thought means believing that it’s true, without inquiring. A belief is a thought that we’ve been attaching to, often for years.” 

 

- Byron Katie

AREAS OF FOCUS

I have an integrative approach to counselling by working holistically addressing physical, emotional, social, spiritual and intellectual health.

I utilise aspects of Positive Psychology, Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Existential Therapy, and Imago Therapy within the work. Combining these psychological therapeutic tools with philosophical aspects of Eastern Spirituality & Buddhist Psychology, together with breath work, mindfulness and meditation, allows for deeper awareness of the self as a holistic entity. 

 

Specialisation (but not exclusive to); relationship and marriage counselling, bereavement, loss, grief, anxiety, existential crisis, depression, trauma, life changes, death acceptance, stress management, mindfulness meditation, wellness techniques and

cognitive behavioural work.
 

My approach is warm, culturally sensitive and collaborative. Together we investigate core beliefs that underpin all our behaviour and habits, to help clear negative ones and to allow for healing and growth. Holistic counselling is about a partnership. I am not here to tell you how to live your life, I am here to guide and facilitate your self discovery by accessing your own inner wisdom and breaking down the patterns that hold you back. Through understanding, positive change, self acceptance, being present in the now, the healing and growth begins. I strongly believe in somatic work, feeling emotional truth in the body can be extremely powerful. If we sink deeper into our physical beings through relaxation techniques, our emotions can become more honest and the release can be more effective than just 'talk' work.

I am interested in individual development, growth and how that manifests in our relationships. I am a lover of what is and a believer in having control over the outcome of our lives. I believe our thoughts can create our realities and sometimes we need to break negative thought patterns and ‘drop the story’ in order to shift our present understanding of our truths. I am direct and solution based, I like to supply practical tools that can be used to see immediate, positive results. We cannot change our past life experience or necessarily our present reality but, we most certainly can adjust our thoughts and the story we attach to those thoughts. 

It is a privilege to bear witness to your specific individuation and personal journey. Each story is unique to an individual's experience yet, at the same time, can be comfortingly universal. It takes courage to face one's emotional state and reality head on. This is the first step towards understanding your unique process and meeting you exactly where you are, right here and right now.
