The stigma attached to mental illness presents a serious barrier not only to diagnosis and treatment but also to acceptance in the community

 

 


 

It's about time we stomp out the stigma of mental illness

 

Welcome

Are you living life as it comes to you, frustrated that "this is your lot" and settling for second best?  Do you feel like you can’t unleash your personal power to make a difference to your happiness because there is a stigma in asking for help?  The result of this way of thinking means that you are not using your abilities to effectively create the life you long for or the life you deserve. 
 
I believe people have the resources within them and they just need someone to help them to re-discover them.  Together we need to remove this mental illness stigma so that issues can be overcome.  People from all walks of life and backgrounds have come to see me with different issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress, low self-esteem, bereavement, loss of meaning and purpose in their lives and much more...I invite you to come and see what it can do for you.
 

 

Why should you choose me?
 
Therapy is essentially a conversation between two people. By choosing me as your therapist and partner during your change process, you will benefit from a down-to-earth individual who has undergone years of personal and professional training and life experiences to be able to tailor and suit your learning styles giving you the best opportunity for positive results.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I believe that growth and healing occurs best in the context of a committed, and trusting co-created relationship and my initial goal will be to establish a safe and confidential space based on consciousness, compassion, respect, and trust. I will actively listen, reflect, act as your therapist, guide, mentor and facilitator towards your growth and healing. This may seem daunting and challenging at times but change can happen at a pace that suits you and this experience is usually greatly rewarding. Clients quickly notice a shift with something they may have carried for their whole lives, thus empowering them to feel confident to manage life’s difficulties.  Read what you would expect on your first session.
 
I also help children, sometimes with or without the parents present to heal and grow into their full potential.
 
Please explore my website to become acquainted with how I work and with the specific services I offer, including workshops, trainings, and lectures. I look forward to hearing from you.
