Integrity

The counselling I offer can provide you with self-knowledge; good understanding of your own thoughts, feelings and abilities. The wisdom of “Know Thyself” may enable you to understand your uniqueness, recognising your own worth and potential as well as any barriers and limitations, and this self-knowledge may also allow you to have an understanding of others as a result.


Personal freedom 

My counselling may enable you to understand what it means to be human, accepting the inevitable conditions of our existence such as anxiety, choice, freedom, meaning, mortality, and loneliness. I can help you find your own meaning in living. I believe people are free to recover and overthrow the shackles of their past and find their own path to fulfilment.


Self-management

You can learn to feel unconditional compassion for yourself, accepting the person for who you are through the awareness of your being and as a result you might learn to experience yourself in a more non-judgemental way, lessening your suffering.




I specialise in


Bereavement
 
I can help you with your grief and loss, understanding that it is a process which takes time and individually determined. It is very important that each person be allowed to grieve at her own pace. My acceptance and empathy may lessen your pain and heal your emotional wounds.


Anxiety, low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, feeling of inadequacy, narcissism, bullying, abuse, stress
 
Anxiety, low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, feeling of inadequacy, narcissism, bullying, abuse, stress are such human experiences which might be the consequences of our distorted, exaggerated, one-sided, self-evaluation, self-criticism. Instead of becoming our best friend, we turn into our worst enemy. I can help you accept your imperfection: your limitations and barriers, providing you with insight into your difficulties. Your self-understanding may result in your non-judgemental attitude towards yourself, learning to respect yourself for who you are, with all your favourable characteristics and malfunctions.


I can also help you think in a more flexible way: firstly to avoid black and white thinking because such idealism can easily lead to unwanted emotional suffering. Secondly, to understand that there is not one truth in this world because we are all unique individuals with unique truth determined by our upbringing, culture, education, innate characteristics and present mood which as a consequence make our truth and world view biased and exceedingly subjective. This understanding may result in your increased tolerance and non-judgemental attitude towards yourself as well as others, improving your relationships.
