My approach
Depending on the problem you are facing, I use a combination of narrative therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, and emotional and relational skill coaching. I tailor my approach to your unique situation in order for you to have the best possible outcome for your wellbeing. My work is non diagnostic and non pathologising. Any cultural and spiritual practices you have are welcome into the therapy space.
Narrative Therapy:
The stories we tell ourselves about our lives determine how we think, feel, and act - which ultimately determines the direction of our lives. We will work together to discover and understand how your narratives have been formed, and work on building new, more helpful ones. This can provide healing, help you to take new steps, respond differently to the same issues, and move forward in a positive direction.
Mindfulness Counselling
Mindfulness includes both mind and body practices involving observing and tuning into the present moment, as well as training particular qualities such as compassion, acceptance, forgiveness, attention, etc. These practices and explorations help you develop a stronger self awareness, a kinder relationship with yourself (and others), and reduce mental and emotional suffering.
