We are living in a complex busy ever-changing world. In this world, people have many different types of experiences, some of them may be difficult to cope with. When we are stopped in our tracks by an event or situation that we do not, at that moment, have the resources required, we may talk to our family or friends or priests. But, occasionally, their advice is insufficient, or we may be too embarrassed or ashamed to talk to them about what is bothering us. Or we just don’t have an appropriate person to turn to.

Counselling and hypnotherapy are really useful options at these moments. Counselling offers a confidential, non-judgmental and respectful way for you to be understood and find the best way to resolve your problems. After our initial consultation, together we will develop a counselling or hypnotherapy plan which meets your individual need, specifically assisting you in reaching your desired goals.

I have had extensive university training, years of clinical experience as well as teaching of undergraduate psychology students.This has given me both the theoretical and hands on experience to assist you in addressing your issues. I have been trained to use a variety of clinical techniques such as Client centered counselling, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational therapy, Bio-Feedback, Hypnotherapy and Integrated psychotherapy. With the help of these methods we can remove your obstacles which prevent you from keeping a healthy mind.

• Master Degree of Social Science (Human Services-Counselling)
