How I work

Every individual goes through periods of change, transition, crisis, disappointment, disillusionment, failure. It is easier to face these times when there is someone outside of your daily life who is able to stand beside you and help you to explore the situation and the bigger picture.

At the beginning of the work you and I establish an agreement that clearly stipulates confidentiality, both parties' expectations, wants and concerns and we negotiate anything that will get in the way of developing an effective working relationship. The strength of the work we do together relies on us forming a strong, trusting, supportive relationship.

I work with all aspects of you - psychological, physical, mental, spiritual and in collaboration with you. We begin by assessing your present situation as well as your dreams and goals. We explore your underlying, unfulfilled needs and wants that are creating or contributing to the situation. We identify your beliefs, knowledge and skills, blocks and fears, vision and values, patterns of working and relating. Together we discover new and different perspectives, choices, insights, ways that feel more authentic. We integrate this learning into your way of living.

Your psyche is the territory, there are many theories, tools, techniques to help you to explore your psyche, however they are only maps. You are the only one who really knows the way and my job is to use my knowledge, skills, tools, techniques and experience to help you find the way that works for you.
