“The most difficult thing in life is to know yourself.” – Thales (one of the Seven Sages of Ancient Greece)
I believe that life is a gift, and it presents us with unique experiences, situations and challenges every day. Navigating these becomes easy when we are supported by someone we can trust, when someone genuinely empathizes, when we are offered non-judgemental space and when we are heard with unconditional positive regard. I am humbled and honoured to support my clients by offering them a space to heal, discover themselves and live a fulfilling life.
I strive to build a strong relationship with my clients and adopt a client centered approach to ensure that the counselling experience is tailored to the individual needs of each client. I work closely with my clients to identify the root causes of the concerns and problems faced by them. Specific interventions are used to bring about changes desired by clients and a sincere endeavour is made to ensure that the changes are adopted.
I am an experienced educator and have worked closely with individuals and teams for more than 20 years. This experience has allowed me to witness various facets of people’s lives, their thought processes, struggles, highs and lows, etc. Having lived and worked in different countries and by interacting with people from various cultural backgrounds, I’ve experienced both diversity and strong human connection. I am currently completing my Master’s in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University.
I am very passionate about helping young children, youth, adults, couples, and families process their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I would be honoured to assist clients to change any form of unhelpful thinking and build healthy coping strategies. I am equally as enthusiastic to work with caregivers and families to support in better understanding the why behind behaviours, strategies for dealing with diverse needs, and personal struggles.
