Counselling and Psychotherapy

In a counselling session, you'll have the opportunity to share and delve into your thoughts, emotions, and feelings within a nurturing, respectful, and calming space. Together, we will work to uncover and understand the different aspects of yourself and address the underlying causes of the challenges you're facing. Additionally, you'll receive practical tools and strategies to help you make positive changes in your life and cultivate a sense of inner peace.

 

Clinical Supervision 

I aim to create a relational and collaborative relationship where you can explore your growth, identity, and resilience as a counsellor in a way that feels meaningful to you. I offer a space for reflection, skill development, and self-awareness by offering support and guidance for your counselling work.

I use a humanistic, person-centred model where you will be welcomed to express and explore your way of being as a counsellor and your challenges or questions regarding your clients. I offer a warm, validating, and non-judgmental space where you will be guided through a process of self-reflection, as strive towards experiences of deeper understanding, resolutions and relief.

Systemic Coaching

Systemic coaching offers a comprehensive lens for addressing dynamics, from interpersonal relationships to organizational behaviours. This lens allows us to look at leadership styles, decision-making, and conflict resolution while offering you practical strategies and empowering you to unlock growth and lasting change. 
 

Couples' Counselling 

Couples counselling allows you to address your conflicts, pains and wishes in a safe and calm space.

I use three main types of evidence-based modalities:

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): This method will help you understand your attachment and bonding patterns, help you recognise and express your needs and help you feel connected and safe in your relationship.

Gottman Method: a practical method that helps you understand and manage conflict areas, equips you with problem-solving skills, and improves friendship and intimacy.

IFS for couples: IFS helps you understand how your internal parts affect their relationship dynamics. Each partner learns to recognise their protective parts and how these parts influence conflicts and interactions. Furthermore, 

IFS promotes self-led communication, encouraging partners to speak from a place of calm and curiosity.

 

Modalities 

 

A Taruma-informed, person-centred approach 

As a client-centred and trauma-informed therapist, I provide a non-judgmental and accepting space where your life experiences and attachment patterns are deeply honoured. Each session is tailored to your needs, respecting your pace and sense of safety. With somatic training, I attune to both your words and the emotions or sensations you experience in the shared space.

 

IFS

​Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that helps individuals understand and harmonise their internal parts, fostering self-awareness and healing. By recognising and addressing different aspects of ourselves, IFS promotes emotional balance and personal growth. This method is particularly effective in treating trauma, anxiety, and relationship issues.

Art and Sand Play Therapies for all ages 

Art and sand-play therapy are unique evidence-based techniques that help us connect with our thoughts and feelings. Both art and sand play therapies use symbolism, miniatures or colours to communicate with our deep and sometimes hidden thoughts and feelings, express our concerns and help us find inner resources and resolutions. 

*no experience or artistic skills are required to benefit from these modalities. 

When given an opportunity, the hands will solve what the mind can't. 

Play therapy for children ages 6-10 

Play therapy is a form of psychological treatment that uses play as the primary mode of communication, and is especially suitable for children. Play therapy involves using toys, role-playing and games, to allow the child to express their emotions, needs and challenges.

Gaining insight into the child's needs and challenges allows me to help them deal with unresolved issues and traumas and learn new coping mechanisms.

Family Constellation

A private constellation session offers a transformative approach to addressing emotional blocks and relationship or life challenges. If it feels like you've tried many solutions without lasting results, this may be because the root cause lies within your family system. During the session, we will uncover hidden relationships, identifications, and issues within your family system. By bringing these elements to light, we can restore balance, order, and love in your life.

 

This transformative process fosters deep resolution, helping you create meaningful change and realise your potential.
