My integrative approach will help you to highlight and bring perspective to the emotional, spiritual and intellectual experiences that you need help for. Your path to wholeness and healing is as unique as you are. I understand that the challenges you face may be common to man but your way through them is very unique to you. No two solutions to the same issue are identical - I commit to journey with you to find your unique path to wholeness and renewed purpose. I too have taken this journey.
About me and my practice
I am a South African who moved to the UK in 2007. I was trained in Christian Counselling / Ministry in South Africa and Canada and furthered my training in the UK with a Level 4 Diploma in Person-Centered. My passion is to help people, overcome devastating and life changing issues to fulfill their potential and purpose.
I have had work experience in the corporate sector, business ownership and full time ministry and have the ability with ease, to relate to people with empathy,sincerity and compassion.
Following my Level 4 Diploma Qualification I have established a successful Private Practice and in addition still do pro-bono work for a local Drug/Alcohol Rehab Centre, and Group Therapy Sessions at a Refuge for survivors of Domestic Violence/Abuse.
I work with young adults, adult couples and adult individuals.
Experience
As a member of a Christian Counselling team in South Africa and Canada from 2001 - 2015, I gained valuable experience in Biblical Based Counselling Principles and Methods.
My Level 4 diploma in the UK, has expanded my training and experience and I now also work with Non-Faith Based, and other Faith Based clients, including those recovering from addictions, survivors of rape and sexual abuse, trauma and relationship issues. I have been trained in Pre-Trial Therapy for those engaged in legal and court proceedings following rape / sexual abuse.
I work with couples to resolve marital/relationship issues and clients with PTSD, ADHD & Trauma.
I find that using integrative methods including EMDR,IFS and Schema Therapy depending on the needs of my client, has produced favourable outcomes for my clients.
