Life challenges and especially crisis can be painful or confusing. It is good to know when to look to support and not go it alone and also when to seek professional support. While life situations can feel painful, disappointing and come with set-backs, they can also be opportunities to grow, heal, and find new ground within ourselves and life.
Counselling provides professional support through these times. Spiritual guidance helps cultivate presence, insight, greater self-awareness and a significant way to transform suffering into realisation and ultimately dissolve identification with patterns of suffering.
Whether you are facing personal or professional challenges, crisis and other growth opportunities, or you are wanting to explore new depths in your relationship to yourself, others and life – taking the step to get some counselling, coaching or guidance can be a game changer to ensure clarity, authentic application and accountability. It can also be a step in nuturing self-care to gift this kind of support to yourself and your life.
It is facilitated by your own intention and inner guidance, which can be supported by evidence-based approaches and life experience to support you in achieving what you need at this present time in your life.

The counselling approach offered here is based on person-centred counselling, dealing with you as the expert in your life, while offering support for you to gain insight and work through your challenges, developing skills and strategies that meet your purpose for counselling. This is about help and guidance for you to gain your own insight, knowledge, clarity on what is going on for you to discover the best pathway forward for you. This provides deeply personal benefits that continue to be of value throughout life.
Key modalities I have experience in include:
The actual mix and application provided is individualised to you, your unique situation and issues.
Relationship or personal issues or conflict (personal and business); stress and anxiety management; life-change/transitions; decision-making, communication issues and skills; spiritual counselling (non-denominational) for personal insight, personal development and self-realization.
The counselling and therapeutic relationship between counsellor and client is vital to the counselling process. All sessions are conducted professionally, privately and are strictly confidential. You will be briefed at the beginning through an informed consent and confidentiality agreement, providing information and answering any questions in regard to the counselling process and confidentiality. This will include your part in ensuring your device in the online session is secure and that you also conduct it in a private space.
Identify the challenge or issue holistically, gain insight and perspective – identify the supports and desired outcomes – looking at options and agreeing on a course of action – supporting the therapeutic process and course of action - working through challenges and obstacles - monitoring progress, adjusting pathways, supports and outcomes as needed – exploring new skills, insights, personal learnings, expanding supports and resources – achieving outcomes – evaluating at completion of process and planning post-counselling steps.
Counselling offered to youth and all adults. You are welcome to ask any questions in the contact/enquiry form or during the initial phone call prior to the first session booking.
