Individual Counselling

Counseling is a collaborative and confidential process where individuals can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a safe and non-judgmental environment. As a therapist, I provide guidance, support, and professional expertise to help clients navigate life’s challenges, overcome obstacles, and achieve their personal goals. Through active listening, empathy, and evidence-based techniques, counseling aims to promote self-awareness, enhance coping skills, and foster personal growth. Whether addressing issues related to mental health, relationships, career, or personal development, counseling offers a supportive space for clients to gain insight, find empowerment, and cultivate resilience. By working together in therapy, individuals can embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and positive change.


Everyone is welcome

Regardless of your sexual orientation or gender, you are welcome here, and I am here to support you in your journey towards healing and self-discovery.

As a therapist, it's important for me to acknowledge and understand the unique challenges that individuals within the LGBT community may face. Being a part of that community myself, I deeply empathize with the struggles and experiences that many LGBT individuals encounter. While my practice is open to everyone, I am particularly attuned to the needs of LGBT clients and strive to create a safe and affirming space where they can explore their identities, navigate societal pressures, and address any mental health concerns they may have. My personal experiences within the community allow me to empathize on a deeper level and provide support that is both understanding and compassionate.

Building resilience 

Building resilience involves developing skills and strategies to navigate through life's challenges with greater ease and adaptability. This process often means identifying and challenging negative thoughts, reframing them into more positive perspectives, and improving self-value and acceptance. Increasing coping strategies involves learning and practicing various techniques such as mindfulness, relaxation exercises and problem-solving skills. By integrating these approaches into daily life, you can gradually build resilience, enhance your ability to cope with stress and difficulties, and creare a greater sense of well-being and self worth.
