"When we heal ourselves, we heal our ancestors. If we have the courage to heal ourselves, we heal our planet too. " - Mia Kalef
Individual Counselling
Within each of us is the potential for limitless vitality and wellness, yet our limiting beliefs about ourselves and our world may hold us back and keep us stuck in familiar patterns, habits and routines. Our light comes from within, and when we are stuck in old ways of being our radiant light cannot shine. Spending time and money on altering the outside creates no lasting change.
As a counsellor I view the places we are stuck or the crises we experience as profound opportunities for growth and change.
Darkness is a necessary part of our passage to something new and ultimately exciting, if we choose to view it this way.
In our sessions together you will be given the opportunity to delve more deeply into who you are and discover what is there within you, waiting to be acknowledged, honoured and nurtured.
There are many different approaches in counselling. I have incorporated into my practice those that I have found most helpful for myself and others. These include: Transpersonal, Holistic, Person- Centred, Experiential, and Systemic.
Transpersonal
My practice is based on a Transpersonal, or spiritual foundation, meaning that we will connect to and work with your Higher, Spiritual Self, while believing that something "bigger" is guiding us. The course of therapy is viewed as a shared journey that myself, the counsellor, and you, the client, undertake together, trusting that we will find the necessary tools and means to foster healing and bring about growth and change in your life.

Holistic
My approach is holistic, and looks at creating wellness in every part of a client’s life, bringing balance to the entire being; body, mind and spirit/soul.
If we imagine ourselves like a seed, from the time we are born our natural impulse is to grow, and like a seedling we require optimal conditions to mature and become the strong tree or plant we were born to embody.
Unfortunately, early in life these optimal conditions may not be provided, thus we do not grow as freely or as fully as we could. It then becomes important to address the roots of any obstacles or problems we may encounter as a "whole" solution, instead of pruning our branches or leaves in hopes that lasting change will occur. Let's explore what you are believing and where you may be stuck in your life as a result, before we try a new and better way of living or eating, or implement another regime to follow.

Person-Centered and Experiential
My approach is person- centered, meaning that I view you, the client, as your own best authority on your experience, and recognize you as being fully capable of fulfilling your own potential for growth.
The type of therapy I offer is also experiential, allowing, when necessary, for more than just dialogue.
Systemic
"Bowen family systems theory is a theory of human behavior that views the family as an emotional unit and uses systems thinking to describe the complex interactions in the unit.It is the nature of a family that its members are intensely connected emotionally." My approach brings awareness to family dynamics and relationship patterns that may be playing out in your life and keeping you from moving forward.
