Free Your Present From Your Past
I am a South-African based counsellor providing individual and relationship counselling with specialization in trauma, grief, and open relationships. My role is to support my clients in discovering and developing their inner strength and resilience. My aim is for my clients to feel fully supported in getting what they need from our sessions. My approach is gentle, transparent, and non-confrontational. This does not mean you will not be challenged or that I will simply validate whatever you do or say, but that I will not judge you or presume to know you better than you know yourself. My expertise lies in providing a supportive space where you can set aside day-to-day distractions and fully focus on the work you need to do to make your life better. I support you by:- Giving you the time you need to say what you need to say without interrupting or trying to tell you how you “should” look at an issue
- Facilitating techniques that give you a framework with which to untangle a complicated issue or situation
- Working with you to find coping skills that work for you
- Helping you identify childhood decisions and beliefs that are no longer useful
- Helping you discover your core values and drivers
- Facilitating targeted trauma debriefing techniques
- Providing exercises and reading material for between sessions – IF you want these
- Providing information
My approach:
I believe that my clients have the ability to make their own life choices as they see fit, and that my role is to facilitate the process of change that they wish to bring about. A respect for personal agency is the guiding principle of my counselling approach, and I am supportive of sex workers and people with non-mainstream relationship or sexual practices. I am also informed on current developments in Neurodivergence, and supportive of self-diagnoses. Lastly, this is a secular practice. While clients are welcome to discuss their spirituality in our sessions, my approach is secular does not involve or reference religion or religious practices.
