How I work...
I understand that taking the step to come to therapy can bring uneasiness. I am committed to making each person feel comfortable, heard and understood. This enable clients to open up to learn about themselves in a collaborative manner. I see therapy as a dialogue that happens between client and therapist that promotes awareness and understanding of one self. I believe that suffering opens up to learn about oneself.
Understanding your family background, your will discover the core themes an the unconscious beliefs, which influence your choices in life to recover your sense of self. Using a compassionate approach, my intention is to support the counselling process to be a positive experience for you.
