Taking the steps…
On the counselling journey, I will assist you in reconnecting to yourself and in that process, you will gain self-esteem, healing, resilience, capacity, choice, access to your 'innate intelligence' and a far greater potential for thriving.
The ‘heart of the issue’ becomes obvious during a collaborative process of navigating the inner terrain. By connecting to ourselves and listening to the various internal ‘parts’, we resolve the inner conflicts and gain the clarity for our own solutions.
Spiritual teacher and Sufi mystic, Andrew Harvey, refers to this era of global crisis as a “boot-camp for evolution”, a time to accelerate our spiritual and psychological growth. We can either be crushed by it, or we can stretch our hearts and rise to the occasion.
Most of us need an ally in our search to make sense of life’s harsh lessons, to connect to our inner resources, to process our challenges and to move towards creating a more inspired level of empowerment.
My Philosophy
My counselling practice is focussed on assisting people to reconnect to their authentic Selves. At our core, each of us has the qualities of compassion, clarity, curiosity, courage, confidence, connectedness and creativity. Through a therapeutic process, these qualities naturally emerge.
During childhood we may have sacrificed our authenticity because of our deep need to please a parent figure, in order to be loved and to survive. This 'survival strategy' of being acceptable to others creates a inner disconnect and parts of ourselves become fragmented and exiled. We adopt beliefs that do not serve us.
In adulthood, so many of our challenges originate from a loss of inner connection as we continue to strive to please others at the expense of our own authenticity, resulting in trauma, depression and disconnection from others.
When we are disconnected from ourselves our pain is buried and compounded. We pile pain on top of pain and eventually we can no longer make sense of our pain or make healthy choices.
The good news is that by listening to our ‘parts’ and all the buried messages, healing and resolution becomes possible. When we’re connected to ourselves, our pain turns into compassion, empowerment and opportunity for growth.
We all have 'choice points' in our lives. We can either resist the experience and pile on more pain, while further compounding our challenges ...or lean in with curiosity and work through the issues.
In the process of reconnecting to our innate intelligence we gain self-esteem, self-compassion, healing, resilience, choice, empowerment and a greater potential for thriving.
