  • The ability to join clients at the stage where they find themselves at and being able to travel with them to their desired destination. When I support clients to work on their fears so they can better understand their feelings and needs. It is very gratifying when clients feel that they are able to make space for their emotions while moving in the direction that makes the most sense to them.

  • 1. An elderly retired couple in their late 60s, where the husband had an affair for several years which the wife had just found out when they came to see me. The wife wasn’t sure what she wanted and if she even wanted to be in the marriage. The husband was apologetic and wanted to work on their relationship. They saw me for over a year and at the end, they were happy being with each other. They knew that there was no resolution to what had happened but were ready to embrace each other’s pain and vulnerabilities. They found their lost friendship that helped them heal.

    2. A couple who was on the verge of separating when they came to counselling as the last attempt to understand how things changed in their relationship. After intensive work with both, they resolved the underlying issues. They were able to move past the point of separation the second time and rediscovered their love for each other.
