My Counselling Approach
My counselling approach is collaborative and integrative in nature. The counselling therapy I provide is rooted in Attachment Theory, Insight-oriented and and Person Centred Therapy. I place importance in building trusting and strong relationships with my clients that are based on empathy, genuine care and no judgement. I firmly believe that a powerful and healing aspect of therapy resides in my ability to respect and encourage client's independence and inner wisdom that tells them what works for them and what doesn’t. I support clients to reconnect with themselves and others and process parts of their history that are hard to digest. I see myself as a companion who can walk by your side while you lead the way at your own pace; offering you support, care, useful knowledge and a safe space to explore yourself.
I use a wide variety of counselling approaches depending on my client's needs, therapy goals and developmental stage. Some of the modalities I use in my practice involve the use of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques, Relaxation/Mindfulness techniques, Person Centred Therapy, Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), Trauma Therapy, Relational and Attachment Therapy, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Child Centred Play Therapy, Synergetic Play Therapy, Parent Education and Support, and Family Systems.
