Counselling, Psychological and Clinical Supervision Services. I have been a therapist, counsellor, psychotherapist, and trainer for 29 years, and a clinical supervisor for over 10 years. I work with children, adolescents, as well as adults, in individual, couple, family and group settings. I supervise other clinicians as well as groups of clinicians in different agencies and organisations.
I have worked in hospitals, treatment centres, clinics, community mental health agencies, charity organizations, colleges and universities, Employee Assisted Programs, as well as private practice.
How I work: I believe that each client I have the privilege of working with is an unique person and therefore my approach with each client is unique to the individual as well.
I am trained in most of the current theoretical approaches in counselling and psychotherapy and I put a great deal of value in rapport and trust in my relationship with my clients. I believe that healing takes place in an atmosphere where clients feel valued, and are viewed by their therapist with unconditional positive regard.

My approach is quite holistic in nature and I believe in mind body and spiritual and emotional connection. I believe in a higher power, however I completely respect my client's beliefs on these issues and regard them as quite personal matters. They are only relevant to our therapy work if my clients choose to discuss them. I believe that I have learnt from everyone that I have ever worked with and we all constantly teaching and learning from each other.
I use cognitive approaches with those individuals who are immersed in painful feelings and are in need of more connection with their logical and rational mind. However with those individuals who are too much immersed in their thoughts and constantly "live in their head", I use more affective oriented approaches. So, I either try to help people to pull themselves towards their head, or bringing them from their head and down into their heart and their gut level. I am trained in CBT (Cognitive Behavioural), Gestalt, Person Centered, Psychodynamic, Positive Psychology, Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy, Brief Therapy, Psychoanalytic approach, Motivational Interviewing, EMDR, Equine psychotherapy, Adlerian approach, etc.
