Individual Counselling

The foundation of all my therapeutic work with individual counselling clients is collaborative.

We’ll spend time together to figure out a path that feels comfortable for you, and connected to your vision for your life.

We’ll check in on a regular basis about how things are going, how the space between us is feeling, and what needs to shift or change.

We’ll make a plan together. You are the expert on your own life and experiences. I am here to provide support and feedback, but you will always get to choose. You can always say no, tell me what isn’t working for you, and I will always receive that with openness. You can always choose what works for you. I’ll introduce ideas that I think might be useful, but they are always only an invitation.

Collaborative support also means that we take the time to understand your context and how you view “the problem” and take a different perspective to examine it.

✨ Most importantly, I want you to feel welcomed and cared for in the spaces I hold. I hope for you to feel a deep sense of connection and build trust in the space we create together.

You also might feel challenged, in a good way. Therapy involves curiosity and at times moments of tender confrontation from which you can grow and change in the ways you desire.
