Psychotherapy & Counselling
I believe that there is no one size fits all approach to therapy and view every relationship as a cross-cultural experience. Consequently, my style embraces a ‘Pluralistic’ approach, utilising a range of modalities and training techniques; that enable me to incorporate various routes to manage and collaborate with you (the client).
Arnold Beisser states that ‘change occurs when one becomes what he is, not when he tries to become what he is not’. Therefore, when working with clients, I pride myself on facilitating a space where there is the freedom to be truly ‘who you are’, without judgement. I am aware that there may be biological, psychological, sociological, and cultural factors that contribute to the challenges that clients experience. Therefore, when addressing therapeutic needs, I take the ‘whole’ person into account, across five areas of functioning: Physical, Emotional, Volitional, Rational and Spiritual.
Upon conducting a thorough assessment across these various domains, I then agree to work short or long term, and in accordance with your goals. Together we can collaborate to remedy, repair, and relinquish the patterns of behaviour that are limited you to realise your potential.
Life-Coaching
Life Coaching is different from psychotherapy and counselling whereby it is non-clinical. Together, we work with your readiness to set goals in a specific area of development so you can realise your potential. This often appeals to people who might feel a bit stuck or want to drive with more zeal towards the results they desire in life. Whilst it still has many therapeutic benefits, it takes on more of a solution focused structure and is designed to unleash the individual from constraints that may be hindering or blocking them from reaching their full potential. I use various coaching models and interventions as we work towards your desired outcome.
Mentorship
Why mentoring? And why travel? Well, there is no better way to address the junctions of life and associated challenges than by plunging oneself into a new culture and/or environment. The chaperoned travel experience offers a chance to step into life afresh and gain greater perspective on the life you are living. Being exposed to new places can have a reset effect, lending the space and freedom (from what is familiar) to open your eyes to see what is new, different, possible, and attainable.
“Uncertainty is a reality of life, and by normalising it in unfamiliar settings, our posture behests change”.
Together, we choose a travel destination that offers an appropriate space to adventure and learn new life skills. The experience is a balance of managing the travel itinerary, exploring sights of interest, participating in physical activities, partaking in creative workshops, con attending daily coaching sessions, contemplative periods and times of rest. The aim is to create an impactful trip that mobilizes and shifts you forward. Click below to arrange a consultation and learn more of how this may be of benefit.
