Pearl Pathways Consulting

In my 20's I struggled with becoming as non-smoker and after some sessions of Clinical Hypnotherapy, that was it! I was free! I also noticed other things in my life changing since those sessions, so I thought 'there must be more to this than I realised'. So my journey to understand people; how we think, how we feel, how we do things and why, and even when. And so began what is now my life purpose of personal and professional development journey. As I began to understand more about myself and making my own positive changes, I felt so drawn to sharing what I learnt about humans with others. After I started working with people, I realised I was really good at it. So I learnt more, studies more. I immersed and committed myself to supporting and guiding others to make their own positive changes and live a life they choose, not one of circumstances. I then studied various approaches compatible within Clinical Hypnotherapy. But that wasn't enough, so I completed my Bach of Counselling and now I offer even more approaches and practices to suit the individual's needs and situation.

Every therapist has something to offer the right person, because what works for one may not work for another. I have been in practice for almost 25 years and what I bring to the sessions are my professional experiences, formal training and education, as well as personal life experience. Like any human living on this planet I've had many different and often complex experiences much like everyone else. This allows me to relate to you and your situation in some way, but obviously different, because your experience is yours and not the same as another.

I am also very empathic, intuitive and creative. These allow me to work with you with a more whole-being approach, rather than just left brain analytical and technical text book approaches. I work with you and your uniqueness in supporting and guiding you in making your positive changes.

One thing to point out with therapy, is that if you don't 'click and connect' with your therapist, you have every right, and more importantly, an obligation to yourself to change therapist. Ultimately you need to be the centre of the universe, yes it is all about you while in session!

Counselling and Psychotherapy as well as Clinical Hypnotherapy has been conducted remotely and in different formats for a number of years, with an overall success. Now with video streaming, it is even better.

There are aways individual preferences when it comes online verses face-to-face. There are always pros and cons. Some people need to be out of their comfort zone (usually home) and go to a therapist's office, while others feel safer talking about themselves in their home or other safe space. Some people just don't live near a clinic and remote therapy is their only option, while others have time constraints/limitations and obligations so video streaming saves time and sometimes money.

I offer video streaming on Zoom and Teams platforms as well as phone counselling.

As COVID is still present in the community, I wipe down all surfaces between clients. I offer clients masks if they choose to wear it and if they ask me to wear one, I am happy oblige.

Hand sanitiser is also available in the consultation room.
