I use a multi disciplined approach in my counselling practice. Every client is unique, therefore I believe it is important to assess each client individually and determine the approach(es) that will be most effective in assisting them to meet their goals.  My focus is to help every client feel better as quickly as possible.

Hypnotherapy
Your mind is a powerful tool, use it to your advantage.  Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis therapeutically to resolve ineffective patterns, habits or negative emotions.  Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state that all human beings move in and out of all of the time.  It is like a daydream and during that daydream state your subconscious mind is receptive and open for positive changes.

In Hypnosis you will never say or do anything that you don’t want to.  You can get up and move around, you can pop yourself out of it at any time and you will remember everything.  You are completely in control, yet in a state where positive changes happen quickly.

Family Systems Theory
Family Systems counselling recognizes that couples, families and their individual members function as an entwined emotional group that influence and are influenced by each another’s behaviours and choices. Looking at how the emotional system works in the family that shaped you,  I will help you recognize the ingrained techniques you automatically use to deal with stress, and then reveals effective options for solving problems that have the best long-term outcome for you, your partner and your family.

Adlerian Psychology
Adlerian psychology promotes equality, balance in life, the thought that every individual is creative, unique, and more than the sum of their parts. Adlerians view the individual as a whole in context with their environment, family, friendships and intimate relationships. This practice helps individuals, children, parents, and couples achieve more harmonious relationships by examining behaviours, discovering positive aspects of each other, and harnessing the power in knowing we can make positive choices and changes in relationships if we so desire.
