In addition to my counselling expertise, I have extensive experience as a human resources professional and consultant providing expertise to corporate clients in the private and public sectors.
Therapeutic Approach
Making the decision to come to counselling is a significant step towards a more fulfilling and productive life. It's important to find a counsellor with whom you can connect and feel comfortable because an integral part of successful counselling is this relationship between the counsellor and client. My hope is to create a safe and accepting place for you to explore, heal and integrate emotions, thoughts, beliefs, sensations, and actions. I use a collaborative approach that focuses on what you want to achieve in counselling and in your life.
