• Trauma counseling (especially trauma in all forms)
• Trauma Incident Reduction Therapy
• Bereavement counseling
• Healing through Play (children’s Counseling)
• HIV/Aids Counseling & Support
• Stress & Anger Management
• Emotional support

The purpose of personal counselling is to guide you through a process of self-discovery and change.

My Approach

My approach to counseling is an integrated one; I believe in the value and uniqueness of each individual and believe that each individual has the innate ability to resolve their difficulties given appropriate support.

Although I offer session to any age group, I am passionate about children and enabling them to be the best they can be.  I have a keen interest in empowering young children; equipping them with the skills and knowledge they will need to make decisions.  I offer guidance, reassurance and support to teens enabling them to navigate through any challenges they may face.

I strive to provide a safe, accepting environment and a place of confidentiality, mutual trust and respect.

When necessary, I make appropriate referrals to other mental health professionals if the issue is outside my area of expertise and where I feel a client would benefit more.
