Welcome to my Website

This is a time of change. The majority of us is facing major challenges, uncertainties and subsequently experiencing increased anxiety and a loss of direction.

With my clinical experience of over 25 years, my life experience of over 50 years and numerous life changes, I can assist you to face your uncertainties with more confidence and ease.

 

Additionally to the above, and more specifically, I can assist you to address issues such as 
  • Anxiety, e.g. speaking up or speaking out
  • Addressing depression
  • Relationship issues
  • Communication difficulties
  • Low self esteem and self-empowerment issues, e.g. struggle to be assertive
  • Grief and loss
  • Anger issues, e.g. not knowing how to express your anger effectively
  • Bullying at workplace or at home
  • Inter-personal and inter-generational difficulties
  • Identity issues/crisis

 

I assist you to
  • develop greater self-awareness and self-understanding
  • learn about the beliefs that keep you stuck and dis-empowered
  • build inner strength and resources
  • improve communication skills

I provide confidential guidance and support and bring warmth, care and a holistic approach to my work. With the term ‘holistic’ I refer to that

Centre of consciousness and will

A soul on it’s journey”.
