Personal Statement:
Counselling is an opportunity to explore and process difficulties related to behaviours, thoughts, feelings, memories, and relationships. I approach counselling from an eclectic perspective using modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Task Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy & Trauma Informed Stabilization Treatment for Trauma. I take a very Person-Centred approach to counselling believing that you as the individual have within yourself vast resources for self-understanding, for altering your self-concept, attitudes and behaviours, and that these resources can be tapped into collaboratively as you are your own best “expert”. Working collaboratively promotes the building of a healthy counselling relationship, one which you may find yourself able to explore difficult topics or memories or try new and different behaviours. I believe as individuals we are all unique and therefore your therapy experience will also be unique and together we will work to obtain the goals you have for yourself within a warm, person-centred therapeutic environment.
