I am committed to gently guiding transformative journeys toward mental and emotional well-being. I aim to create a safe and nurturing environment where you can freely explore your thoughts and emotions without the burden of judgment. With a compassionate touch, I authentically connect with individuals, striving to build a profound and supportive therapeutic alliance.
Through my extensive experience working with diverse populations facing various challenges, I have cultivated a deep understanding of the human experience. Driven by compassion, I remain devoted to continuous professional development, ensuring that I stay abreast of the latest research and therapeutic approaches.
In my practice, I embrace a holistic and integrative approach, firmly grounded in a Systems and Bio-Psycho-Social framework. Acknowledging the intricate interplay of mind, body, and social environment, I believe in addressing the whole person with tenderness and empathy. My person-centred approach is designed to create a space where you not only feel heard but truly seen and understood, fostering a sanctuary of safety and acceptance.
I incorporate evidence-based practices such as narrative therapy to empower you in reshaping your life stories with kindness and understanding. I weave in Life Stress Reduction, Traumatic Incident Reduction, and Cognitive Behavioural Techniques where and when needed, offering gentle tools to navigate and manage the challenges you may face. Additionally, I place a special emphasis on the transformative power of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, gently guiding you toward a more centred and present state of being.
It would be an honour to accompany you on your journey, providing compassionate support and understanding every step of the way.
Specialist Wellness Counsellors serve to enhance the total well-being of their clients by making use of a systems approach to counselling – working towards achieving wholeness within the integrative unity of body, mind and spirit. The level of counselling is that of primary health care. Specialist Counsellors specialize in one or more of the following areas of counselling/coaching: Individual counselling, marriage counselling, lifestyle coaching, trauma counselling, addiction counselling, HIV/AIDS counselling, bereavement counselling, hospice counselling and support and assistance in human development. The Specialist Wellness Counsellor is competent to lend comprehensive and specialized counselling support towards the improvement of the quality of life by assisting clients in resolving conflicts, improving relationships, and coping with life’s challenges. Specialist Wellness Counsellors are required to refer clients to medical and psychological professionals if they identify needs that require specialized intervention such as mood, personality and anxiety disorders and health related problems that require medical attention. A Specialist Wellness Counsellor is an ASCHP member with an applicable postgraduate qualification on NQF level 8 and a minimum of 100 hours of practicum experience. (adapted from ASCHP, n.d.).
