Couple's Counselling
Relationship Problems
In addressing relationship problems, it's essential to recognise that we often take our connections for granted. I specialise in helping couples improve communication, understand the essence of a healthy relationship, and foster a sense of mutual respect.
Affairs & Betrayals
Infidelity can be one of the most challenging obstacles couples to navigate. I seek to help the injured partner in processing the trauma caused by affair, ensuring they feel heard and validated. Simultaneously, guide the affair partner in understanding the underlying issues that led to their actions, encouraging them to take responsibility and actively participate in rebuilding trust. Together, we work towards healing and fostering a healthier relationship dynamic.
Separation & Divorce
Navigating separation and divorce can be an emotional and challenging journey. I provide support to individuals and couples, helping them to disentangle their relationship with compassion understanding. Together, we process feelings of loss and work to mitigate any emotional stress on those indirectly affected, especially children. My goal is to foster healing and create a path forward for everyone involved.
Individual Counselling
Family Issues
I work with individuals facing family issues by providing a safe and supportive for them to express their feelings. Together, we explore the underlying challenges and develop strategies to improve and understanding within their family dynamics. My approach is empathetic and-focused, helping clients to navigate their emotions and find constructive to address conflicts.
Bereavement
I provide compassionate support to individuals navigating the complex journey of grief. I help clients process their emotions and find healing. My approach fosters a safe space where they can express their feelings and explore coping. Together, we work towards finding hope and resilience in the face of loss.
Work Related Stress
I assist individuals in navigating work-related stress by fostering a relational approach that encourages open dialogue about their experiences. By understanding how their roles may be evolving, we explore strategies to adapt and thrive in their current positions., I support them in identifying when it might be time to transition to a job, ensuring they feel empowered and equipped to make informed decisions about their career paths. Together, we create a pathway to resilience fulfillment in their professional lives.
