Welcome to a safe space, where you are accepted, understood, and challenged towards transformation.
I am a firm believer that 80% of the effectiveness in counselling is the connection between you and your therapist. If you have not experienced this or I am not able to meet your specific needs, I will be happy to refer you on to another therapist.
During your initial sessions we will explore what brought you to counselling and how I can help you.
I use my experience and creativity to determine the therapeutic approach that is best for you, and I make sure that we work on your specific area of need for each session that we are together, as I am very sensitive when you feel ready to share your story.
My Therapeutic Approaches
Emotion Focused Couple Therapy
Grounded in attachment theory that relationships are based on.
Promotes a trusting healthy dialogue, to talk about yourselves openly.
Change how past relational traumas have affected your present relationship.
Creates a safe space that your partner can get to know who you really are.
Helps you with a more secure emotional attachment.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Identifies ways of thinking that are not helpful, reducing your stress.
It allows you to change your thoughts into more empowering ones.
It changes the way that you perceive your situation into opportunities for change instead of a dead end.
It reduces your feelings of depression, fear and poor self-esteem.
It allows you to have a more accurate view of yourself and the world.
Trauma Informed Therapy
Why I do not use EMDR. I believe that we can get to the places of pain that need healing by using Emotion Focused Therapy to investigate your emotions, body reactions and images by guiding you through traumatic memories that will release you from it.
Janina Fisher’s 4 years of training help educate you about trauma and work towards: regulating symptoms, coming to terms with the trauma memory, and moving on to freedom.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
Helps you learn skills to regulate your emotions.
Helps you tolerate distress, so your reactions are not so easily triggered.
Helps you be more mindful to live in the present, instead of always in the depressed past or anxious future.
Helps you deal effectively with difficult interpersonal relationships.
Helps you balance your life.
Solution Focused Therapy
Puts problem solving solutions at the forefront of therapy.
Helps you feel more affirming and empowering.
Asking goal oriented questions that move you to unlock your stuck place into a future-oriented direction.
Rather than spending years in therapy, SFBT allows you to find solutions and get results quickly.
Prayer Counselling
Faith based therapy
Accessing prayer and the Bible to welcome God’s presence into the healing process.
Allowing God’s direction to help us identify together, the area that you need to work on first or the roots of your issue.
Let the Biblical truths of how Christ sees you to overcome low self-esteem.
Receiving His amazing love that heals all wounds.
