My approach to counselling
I am a Somerset West based therapist, specialising in narrative counselling.
The most basic tenet of my client philosophy is that you, as my patient, are most important. Moreover, my therapeutic practices are fuelled by the awareness that each and every person is unique, as is their experience of living with anorexia, bulimia or relationship problems.
My Client Philosophy
Empowering the Self
Healing rather than curing
“I do not view the body as in need of repair. People do not need fixing – they need healing.” In the words of Damasio : “As human beings, we first feel, then think, then act”.
Taking physical, psychological, spiritual and social factors into consideration, I provide individualised, one-on-one conversations with those who seek my assistance. My counselling is focused on allowing you to empower yourself in the face of crippling illness or circumstances, and promote healing – a continuous process of growth and self-awareness.
How I achieve a continuous process of growth and self-awareness
- Developing new perspectives
- Supporting clients in making better choices
- Considering lives in context – that is, the totality of a client’s lived experience without isolating their personhood to the realm of their problem
- Encouraging self-love and forgiveness
As a counsellor, I promise to:
- Pay attention to detail
- Provide uncompromising care and commitment
- Ensure my availability (before, during, and long after therapy)
- Be ethical and maintain confidentiality at all times
- Pledge my unyielding commitment to your journey of healing
