Welcome to my practice, serving couples and individuals. My professional goal is to make every client feel heard, understood and professionally supported. I know that life and relationships can be demanding and complex and I bring empathy, heart and mind into the therapy room, to help clients find better ways of dealing with their everyday life and feel more comfortable with themselves and others.
I hold a Master of Counselling, am registered with PACFA, and use evidence-based counselling approaches, such as: Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Gottman method, Motivational Interviewing, and Problem-Solving Therapy. I refer to established childhood attachment theories and their manifestations in adult life and incorporate current studies on trauma into the counselling interventions.
I have worked with adult men struggling with loneliness, difficult emotions, and understanding their role in society and women striving to accomplish their potential, as they navigate societal expectations and pressures of the modern life. As a counsellor I am non-judgmental and honor the client's autonomy and life choices..
I invest in professional development, use clinical supervision, and adhere to professional codes of ethics. I am also a certified career coach with 20 years corporate Human Resources experience.
