My Philosophy
-
It is my belief that suffering is an inescapable part of life and that while we all face life challenges, our experiences of pain and suffering are unique to each.
-
My role as a therapist is to provide a confidential space where trust will grow. As this occurs, we work together to explore your concerns in a way that will deepen your insight and wisdom in your search for solutions, personal growth, health and well-being.
-
Having lived in several different countries, I have an appreciation and respect for cultural differences, values and beliefs.
-
This experience has also given me an abiding sense of our common humanity.
-
Hearts and Mind Counselling reflects my belief that considering the whole person is essential to personal growth and the healing process.
My Journey into Counselling
-
A curiosity and interest in life in all its complexity has led me to explore different pathways, from nursing to university teacher to counsellor. This interest led me to gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of our common quest for meaning and purpose.
-
Through experience, education and training, I am equipped to support you through your journey. My life's focus has always been on working alongside people.
Your Journey
-
The first session always begins with an assessment, and this is to ensure that counselling/therapy will be of benefit to you. It is also to ensure you are comfortable about entering into the therapeutic relationship.
-
When you enter the therapeutic process, any fears of judgement, shame or stigma will be laid to rest and you will begin to receive the assistance you need to address your concerns.
Ethics
-
Membership in a professional body
-
Commitment to ongoing professional development and supervision
-
Trust and confidentiality form the basis of the counselling relationship
-
Duty of care means that if at any time you become a danger to yourself or others, it may become necessary to break confidentiality - following, as much as possible, discussion with you.
