About me
Hello and welcome to my profile! Let me first answer a question which most people ask, which is about how to pronounce my name, I’m Keila - think Sheila with a K.
I think that choosing a therapist from the internet is a bit like choosing anything from the internet; you decide from the picture and description about whether it might be right for you, but you never really know until you meet your choice. So, I will try and let you know as much as I can now and I then also offer a 30 minute, free of charge, consultation.
I work online which has the beautiful benefit of therapy without the limitations that can be present regarding accessibility, geography or transportation.
I am a qualified, experienced and accredited ‘integrative’ therapist, clinical supervisor (of other therapists and non-therapist professionals) and transformational life coach. . The ‘integrative’ bit means that that I am trained in, and can draw on, a range of skills aiming to find the way of working which suits you best.
Therapy with me is a collaborative experience where we work together to look at the source of the problem and find ways of enabling you to move forward in an authentic way.
You may have heard the term ‘therapeutic relationship’, this is the unique relationship which exists between us for the sole goal of helping you. More than anything else it is the therapeutic relationship which is the key element for a positive outcome, and it is my strength in the relational skills, intuitive working and use of metaphor and creativity used within the therapeutic relationship which might set me apart from other therapists you may have experienced.
I offer both short-term and longer-term therapy options. Often the difficulties we experience in life aren’t developed in an instant and working through them, solving them, healing from them doesn’t happen instantly either. Working with me means that you are given the time and space that you need, and together we will look at the expectations achievable within the time frame available.
