About me
Thank you for being here and taking steps towards your better wellbeing.
If you can answer yes to any of the following questions, please read on to see how I can help;
- Have you been feeling anxious, stressed, sad, depressed, numb, stuck or fearful?
- Have you been walking on eggshells?
- Have you been experiencing effects of trauma?
- Have you lost all faith?
My counselling practice helps clients suffering from anxiety, trauma and explores family dynamics.
If you answered yes to any of the above, it is likely you are stuck, fearful or in frozen state. As a result of your environment and or relations with those around you.
Family dynamics is explored especially if linked to your anxiety. In addition, cultural impact and how that influences family patterns, leading to mental health distress is my area of expertise.
How counselling will help;
I work holistically, meaning I look at the whole self, past present, family dynamics, learning about parts of you that may have become a shadow. Using an integrative approach by applying relevant therapeutic models, together we will explore the cause of your anxiety or trauma. My aim is to empower you with tools to manage the psychological disturbance that is causing the issue you are presenting.
If you are 'stuck', 'fearful', 'frozen' unable to make a change or move forward, you are using subconscious methods from early years. These methods of coping are no longer serving you in adulthood resulting in the 'stuckness' or 'frozen' state leading to anxiety or trauma. Usually, these are layers of conditioning that have not been unravelled.
Through counselling, once you develop a clear vision as a result of your willingness to heal from triggers or limiting beliefs you will learn how to meet unmet needs and be able to manage or even overcome anxiety or trauma.
Initial consultation
Initially, we will have a consultation so that I better understand your experience, describe to you the therapeutic process and ascertain if I am the right fit for your needs.
I ask my clients to keep an open mind when embarking on counselling and during the therapeutic process. You will learn tips and tools and have space to explore the issue in a non-judgemental space met with empathy.
