For a Happier & More Fulfilled Life
Marriage CounsellingIt’s natural for conflicts to occur in a healthy marriage. However, when the two spouses have never learned effective ways of resolving these conflicts, the marriage can be in danger. Marriage counselling helps couples explore the ways in which they get stuck in their conflicts, and how to break out of that negative cycle.
Most importantly I use 'living' tools that emphasise transformation and movement. I help you journey from who you are, to who you were made to be; from what your relationship is now, to what it is capable of being. For this reason our sessions are both psychological and spiritual as we discover your essence and the essence of your relationship, together. I apply an eclectic range of techniques to explore the unconscious childhood ROOTS which frame our thinking as adults, to remember the ROOT of the marriage/ relationship, to break the negative inter-generational cycles and grow new ROOTS grounded and established in love. Grief CounsellingLoss is extremely difficult for almost everyone, especially the loss of a parent, spouse or child. Unfortunately, in an increasingly more isolated society, many people grow up without the coping mechanisms to grieve effectively. A grief counsellor can help an individual work through this difficult time.
Christian CounsellingOne of the newer types of counselling that many find very helpful is Christian counselling. Years ago, a Christian in need of psychological guidance would be sent to a Priest, but seminary training did not always cover the scope of psychic damage that people can experience. Unfortunately, conventional therapists may lack a healthy respect for the spiritual and religious aspects of a person’s life, and may ignore these things in counselling, which can lead to an unsatisfying experience for the patient. A Christian counsellor has both religious and therapeutic training, and has integrated these disciplines to provide a more healing experience for the patient.
Family CounsellingFamily units have different group pathologies than individuals which require different types of counselling. A family counsellor is trained in the types of negative family dynamics that can occur and how it can affect each individual family member. This counsellor can then teach family members how to work, live and love together in a more positive way.
Relationship CounsellingMarriage is not the only type of relationship that may require healing. Boyfriends and girlfriends, brothers and sisters, even business partners may need help developing coping methods that will enable them to interact effectively. Relationship counsellors can provide this assistance.

Mental Health CounsellingThere are many reasons why an individual may need mental health counselling. He or she may have a chemical imbalance that is making it difficult to function, which can be aided through drugs but may also require some form of talk therapy. He or she may have deep-seated family issues which are pervading adult life. There may be unresolved trauma that is plaguing an individual. In nearly any case where a psychological issue is making daily functioning a problem, mental health counselling can help.
Group CounsellingIn group counselling, a single therapist works with multiple patients in order to help them resolve troubling issues. Group counselling can be effective for people who are not comfortable in a one-on-one setting, who have social anxiety issues, or who do not find it financially feasible to pursue individual counselling.
Substance Abuse CounsellingPeople who are in the grips of an alcohol or drug addiction need a special type of counselling. Substance abuse counselling uses professionals who are trained in understanding the workings and pathology of addiction and helping patients learn how to manage their addictions.
Teen CounsellingTeenagers are in a different stage of development than their parents, and hence need a different style of counselling. Teen counselling helps teens deal with issues such as understanding their sexuality, dealing with the temptations of drugs and alcohol and relating to their parents.
Divorce CounsellingNot every divorce needs to end in ruin and chaos. People separate for all kinds of legitimate reasons, and a divorce counsellor can help make sure that break is clean. Some divorce counsellors can even mediate the separation so that the process does not stretch out unnecessarily and cost both parties excessive amounts of money.
Individual CounsellingIndividual counselling is a direct, active and personal approach that focuses on increasing your individual self-awareness, understanding, and adjustment. Individual counselling can help you identify the most effective ways for you personally to achieve your desired goals for this stage in life, as well as provide you with the tools to cope with difficult circumstances that may arise along the way.
MediationMy focus is a fresh approach to promote cohesiveness to conflict differences while building a better understanding in any relationship through conversation, understanding and negotiations. I do this by engaging with individuals, families and work teams. The focus is on sustainable and affordable interventions: facilitating conversations, meetings, and encouraging participation in mediation, difficult conversations and leadership development.
