About me
My counselling approach is together with you a journey from your core beliefs to the essence of your own heart. Sometimes we feel lost, numb, lonely stuck in own survival/protective bubbles .Feels like going in the circle and like we recycle old feelings/emotions ,old coping skills that do not serve us anymore. We do our best but it feels is not good enough. When we struggle is not just in our mind is in our heart ,gut and whole body .We view ourself differently and how we attach to people . My own personal and professional discovery was full of ups and downs from my fragmented pieces ,loss of loved ones ,being different, feelings of loneliness ,not belonging ,painful attachments -to finding peace with it and sense of who am I. This journey led me to counselling as I encountered the profound beauty of human connections and the magic of unconditional care, sometimes from a random stranger .These moments off deep authenticity and understanding shaped my purpose ,give me a hope in humanity and inspired me to help others on their paths.
By choosing vulnerability and self-discovery, I embraced a path that not only helped me carry on but transformed my life. My story reflects the triumph of the human spirit, the ability to endure, adapt, and find light in the midst of darkness.
How do you feel about where you are in this journey? What would you like your next chapter to look like? The mind of how fragile yet strong the human heart can be, capable of holding so much pain but also so much potential for transformation. Choosing counselling or any path of self-discovery is an act of bravery, of self-love—a profound step towards healing and becoming. Boundaries, self-care, and saying yes to yourself are such important reminders. Sometimes, letting go of what no longer serves us creates space for the clarity and growth we deserve. It's a challenging road, but one worth traveling. As it leads to reclaiming our essence, finding peace, and ultimately, living fully.
Each person's journey is unique, so finding the right path may take some exploration. If any of that resonated with you, I’d be happy to dive deeper into them or help you explore how to get started.
