What is Counselling?
Counselling offers a confidential and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their lives and address any issues hindering their fulfillment. As a counselor, my role is to listen attentively, provide support, and guide clients in discovering potential paths for change and personal growth.
I am dedicated to a person-centered approach, where I adapt my methods to suit the needs of each individual. For children and adolescents, I find it beneficial to equip them with a 'toolbox' of coping strategies they can readily access in challenging situations.
I continuously seek out diverse therapeutic modalities such as sand-play therapy, mindfulness, visualization, storytelling, and art, to offer clients varied avenues for expressing their emotions.
If you need someone to talk to, I'm here to lend an empathetic ear
