I started on my journey of Hypnotherapy and Therapeutic Counselling 15 years ago, searching for something missing from my life. As a child and to early adulthood my life seemed a long road of disappointments from negative experiences but coming though the other side.
I wanted to share my experiences in helping others to move forward in positive directions and exchanging energies from negative to positive and diminishing stress away from our lives in a healthy effective way.
Getting to the root of the cause to treat the symptoms in a non-threatening way rather than masking and treating with unhealthy coping mechanisms.
I work with boundaries and ethics by using core skills:
confidentiality
congruence
non-judgmental
listening skills
Theories used: person centered - psychodynamic - CBT
I am able to work effectively with clients in a holistic way to enable them to help make the changes they require in their lives. I work with different therapies to assist clients to understand and move more rapidly towards greater growth and self-empowerment.
