Who I am?
My journey to becoming a counsellor has taken a rather unconventional route. From young I have always had a desire to give back and help people in some way, and while my graduate and post graduate studies took me on a more commercial route, I often found myself finding every opportunity to feed this desire in my own little way. Life has a way of always bringing one back to their purpose, and I soon found myself fulfilling my passion by being actively involved in community work and giving my time as a counsellor for Lifeline.
My experience and learning at Lifeline prompted me to pursue counselling in a more formal manner and I went on to attain a Bachelor of Social Science Honours degree in Psychology and I am registered as a Specialist Wellness Counsellor with the ASCHP. My desire to continuously learn and grow in this field has not yielded and I am currently working towards my Play Based Intervention certification as well.
It has taken me years to finally realise who I am and put into practise what I love doing. I have set out to provide support where I can and walk alongside my clients while sharing in their journey towards becoming who they really are!
My Approach
Having to navigate life and the challenges I have faced, made me realise that empathy and a space that is judgment free is vital. This is my approach to counselling; providing a safe, trusting space that is person centred, while providing the empathy and unconditional positive regard that is needed.
I wish to equip you with the tools and understanding to feel empowered to overcome situations and challenges that seem unbearable and develop solutions on your own. I want to build an authentic connection with you as each individual is unique and has a unique set of challenges.
Establishing a holistic view is important as I believe we are not single occurrences but rather a culmination of everything happening around us. I will not diagnose but rather provide you with a space to grow into who you really are by highlighting your strengths and resilience. In this way you can grow, flourish and thrive.
