Grief and Loss
Experiencing Grief and Loss is commonly associated with death; however, it is a natural response to any type of significant change or loss and can have major impacts on our ability to cope, adversely affecting our behaviour and ability to make decisions.
I will provide a compassionate, non-judgmental safe space to work through your emotions and explore appropriate coping techniques.
The pathway to healing from Grief and Loss begins when you feel heard and understood.
Emotional Support
While those around us may be doing their best to help, sometimes it can be better to speak to someone who is separate from your day-to-day life and able to view you and your situation with an open mind and no preconceptions.
PTSD
If you suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), you know how debilitating the symptoms can be. Many times, people with PTSD will suffer flashbacks, have intense nightmares and difficulty sleeping, and may feel angry, anxious, and constantly “on alert.” Living with PTSD is extremely difficult, but there are ways that you can manage your symptoms and, in time, recover.
Leadership Support
Are you at the top of your game and need a confidante to have open and frank discussions with? Looking to stay grounded and balance your public and personal persona? Or are you starting your own business or furthering your career aspirations?
I offer leadership support to high-achieving business individuals and anyone aspiring to build a new business and career.
Therapy Techniques
Everyone is unique and individual, therefore, I work in collaboration with clients to tailor the type of therapy to suit them. I use evidence-based, holistic and integrated approaches combining self-inquiry techniques, and mindfulness linking body awareness (a somatic approach involving the senses) which encourages clients to find the inner teacher within to form a deep connection with their body, mind and spirit…
