Therapy Approach
My holistic approach supports the whole person, not just mental health needs. I consider physical, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing of my clients. I strive to create a space in which my clients can rediscover their own innate healing power, in order to bring about a feeling of wholeness and integrity.
In my integrative and creative practice, I work on my client's self-esteem by affirming their dignity and self-worth, providing emotional outlets and an opportunity to express oneself in a way that is safe and contained, especially when accessing traumatic material. I specialise in trauma-informed care.
