MY SPECIALTIES
INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING
I have extensive experience working with adults who are struggling with life’s challenges. There are times when we are seeking a new direction, or we need support as we share painful experiences, and reveal our vulnerability. There is a need for deep understanding as we express our thoughts and feelings. We seek assistance to make sense of ourselves and our experiences.
I provide a welcoming and safe space where I establish rapport by empathetically listening to your concerns. There are times when we need help as we reflect and process emotions, thereby facilitating insights and new perspectives.
​
My fields of speciality include:
Life’s transitions including career change.
Bereavement, loss, and grief
IVF and its challenges.
Anxiety
Conflict with family and relationship difficulties.
Stress
Low moods.
Parenting infants and children
GROUP THERAPY
I am a group conductor specialising in working with older members of the community and those on the IVF journey.
​
The group offers members the opportunity to experience themselves in a different way. It allows for work at a deeper level so that they integrate a new life phase, thereby adjusting over time to these changes and challenges.
The individual is formed in a social context and the group is a microcosm of society and therefore social processes are activated in the group. It is a space to define and represent things that are not yet formulated and move from monologue to dialogue to discourse.
Each group represents a shared space, a community whereby the members communicate their thoughts and feelings regarding the challenges they experience.
An individual’s self-disclosure is met with attentiveness, understanding and empathy by the group and, thereby provides support, reassurance, and an opportunity to process and integrate their experiences.
The group facilitates the possibilities for acceptance, connectedness, and renewal.
