Counselling for teens, youth and adults

Counselling Service:

In my role as a counsellor, I offer a safe, empathetic space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. Guided by respect for your unique story and strengths, I believe in your capacity for growth and healing. My approach, rooted in my Christian faith, focuses on nurturing self-awareness, resilience, and integration. Together, we’ll navigate difficult emotions, clarify values, and embrace your inner strengths. Listening with empathy and without judgment, I strive to accept and honour your experiences while empowering you to find hope, meaning, and lasting growth in life’s challenges.

Counselling Approach:

My counselling approach emphasizes respect for your unique experiences and perspectives, providing a safe, empathetic space for self-exploration. Rooted in Person-Centred Therapy, I focus on active listening and unconditional acceptance to foster personal growth and healing. Integrating Narrative Therapy, I help you reframe challenges as opportunities for transformation, highlighting your strengths and resilience. Together, we’ll explore your inner world—feelings, beliefs, and patterns—to achieve balance and align actions with your core values. My goal is to empower you to live authentically, reconnect with purpose, and embrace hope, enabling meaningful change and greater freedom in life.

Background and Experience:

With over 10 years of counselling experience and a background in sales and marketing, I bring valuable insights into workplace dynamics, stress management, and cultural diversity. My journey as a migrant enhances my ability to empathize with clients navigating change, identity, and cultural differences. I provide tailored, practical support with sensitivity and understanding, helping individuals address work-related challenges, personal struggles, and life transitions. Rooted in compassion and adaptability, I strive to create a safe and empowering space for growth, offering relatable guidance to help clients overcome obstacles and thrive in their unique journeys.
