Counselling and coaching are transformative developmental journeys. I utilise a variety of tools and techniques to facilitate personal growth and sustainable change. My focus includes goal setting, addressing limiting beliefs, building confidence, exploring unconscious assumptions, and nurturing the body-emotions-mind connection through self-exploration.
I firmly believe in the importance of tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual and creating a safe and empathetic therapeutic environment is paramount in my practice.
My approach is systemic, while I have a psychoanalytical background, I don’t confine myself to a single approach. Instead, I tailor my methods to suit the individual needs of my patients. Depending on what I believe will benefit the patient at any given moment, I may assign ‘homework’ and adopt a more cognitive stance during our sessions.
My work is often described as talking therapy and I often like to invite the body into the conversation.
I employ a technique called ‘focusing’ which involves directing attention to the bodily sensations that arise in the present moment. This allows us to access information stored in the body— knowings or felt-senses that can be challenging for the mind to perceive. Through this three-way dialogue involving myself, the client, and their body, we create space and time for deep listening and understanding.
This is a safe non judgmental space and anything that comes up in our session is completely confidential.
Couple Counselling & Coaching / mariage therapy
I have a systemic approach, meaning that I pay attention to the whole of you: your body, feelings, thoughts and the people around you.
In the case of relationship counselling, this means I pay attention to each of you individually as well as what is happening between you.
Our relationships have a significant influence on the flavour, texture, and quality of our lives and my aim is to help you improve all these aspects.
I work through unconscious patterns and dynamics, focus on improving communication and creating a fulfilling equilibrium in the relationship.
I know first-hand how hard it can be to work on personal connections and I learned how valuable external help can be.
Any type of relationship is welcome; friends, family, dating, married, living together, LGBTQ, non- monogamous or anything in between.
