A Warm Welcome to My Counselling Corner
Hello, and welcome to my online space, a judgment-free zone where compassion and empathy take centre stage.
At the heart of my practice lies a deep commitment to understanding the intricate web of emotions and experiences that make us who we are. I believe in the power of compassion, and it's the driving force behind every interaction, every session, and every blog post you'll find here.
My work as a counsellor is focused on you, the client, but I also feel it is important to tell you a bit about me, so that you can get to know my experience and understand how I work.
A Diverse Pathway to Counselling
Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with individuals facing a diverse range of challenges. From the heavy weight of depression and anxiety to the complexities of imposter syndrome and people-pleasing tendencies, I'm here to provide support and guidance.
My journey into counselling began as a volunteer therapist at a local cancer support centre. There, I had the privilege of providing counselling to cancer patients and their families during some of their most trying moments. It was an experience that taught me the profound importance of compassion in healing.
I have worked within the occupational health and workplace well-being industry for over 5 years. In addition to my private practice, I also work part-time for a leading Employee Assistance Programme (EAP). For those unfamiliar, EAPs offer vital support to employees facing personal or work-related challenges. It's a role that lets me extend my approach to a corporate setting, helping individuals navigate the complexities of work-related stress and more.
A Therapist, But First, a Human Being
While I am a qualified therapist with professional knowledge and experience, I want you to know that I am, first and foremost, a fellow, imperfect human being. I've faced my own life's challenges, and I understand the vulnerability that comes with seeking help.
In this space, you'll find a blend of insightful articles, resources, and a glimpse into my open, accepting, and non-judgmental approach to counselling. I invite you to explore, learn, and reach out if you ever feel the need.
Whether you're here to gather information, seeking guidance, or simply looking for a compassionate voice, I'm here for you. Together, we'll navigate the path towards a more fulfilling and balanced life.
