Deon Remzi

As a humanistic integrative counsellor, I merge various therapeutic modalities to offer you comprehensive and tailored support. My practice is built on a foundation of compassion and empathy, believing in your inherent capacity for growth and healing. I provide a safe, nurturing, and non-judgmental environment where you can freely explore your thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

Free Consultation

As part of this process, I offer a free 20-minute consultation to ensure that we are a good fit and to discuss your goals in a way that feels comfortable and supportive. This initial conversation allows us to explore how counselling can meet your needs and what you hope to gain from the experience.

Cultural Sensitivity and Inclusivity

Cultural awareness is central to my practice. I deeply value and honour your diverse background, experiences, and identities. By embracing your cultural differences, I ensure that my therapeutic approach is inclusive and responsive to your unique individual needs, creating a space where you feel respected, understood and heard.

How Counselling Can Help

Counselling can be a valuable tool for personal growth, offering clarity and insight as we navigate life’s challenges. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, trauma, loss and more, therapy provides a safe space for self-exploration and healing. Together, we will work to unlock your potential, helping you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and move towards a more fulfilling life.

My integrative approach combines several therapeutic techniques to meet your individual needs:

• Humanistic approach

I place a strong emphasis on the importance of our therapeutic relationship and your self-exploration. I believe that each individual possesses an innate drive towards personal growth and self-actualisation. Therefore, my role as a counsellor is to create a nurturing, non-judgmental environment where you feel safe and heard enough to explore your thoughts, feelings, and emotions freely. This approach empowers you to recognise your own strengths, develop a deeper understanding of yourself, and foster greater self-compassion. It also enhances your sense of autonomy and personal responsibility, helping you make meaningful life choices aligned with your values and aspirations. By focusing on your inherent potential, we work together to unlock pathways for personal fulfilment and improved self-esteem.

• Psychodynamic approach

I delve into both the unconscious and conscious aspects of your childhood experiences, helping you uncover underlying conflicts, patterns, and core beliefs that may be influencing your current struggles. This therapeutic exploration provides insight into unresolved emotional issues and enables you to understand how early experiences shape your present-day behaviours, relationships, and sense of self. By gaining awareness of these deeply rooted dynamics, you can begin to break free from old, maladaptive patterns and create healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. This approach can foster emotional resilience, improve interpersonal relationships, and promote healing from past traumas. Additionally, increased insight can enhance your ability to make more conscious, intentional decisions in your life, contributing to greater emotional freedom and well-being.

• CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) techniques, mindfulness, and breathwork approaches

Enables you to identify and challenge negative patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. This can prove empowering and help you to cultivate healthier coping mechanisms and achieve your goals. This can also promote self-awareness, emotional regulation, and living in the present moment, enriching your overall well-being. Controlled breathing exercises can reduce stress, increase emotional clarity, and promote relaxation, helping you manage emotions and find calm during challenging moments.

These approaches work together to provide you with holistic support as you navigate life’s challenges and pursue personal growth.

What to Expect in Your First Session

Your first session will involve getting to know you, your background, and your current concerns. We will discuss your goals for therapy and begin to build a trusting therapeutic relationship. You will have the opportunity to talk freely, and I will be there to listen, providing a safe and compassionate space.

I will also explain the different therapeutic approaches we might use and how they can help you. By the end of the session, you will have a clearer understanding of how we can work together to achieve your personal goals and improve your overall well-being.
