My communication style

I communicated with my clients with respect and compassion, with insightful interpretation and analysis, and always in a honest and transparent manner. Honesty and compassion are my fundamental traits when building the therapeutic alliance with my clients. Healthy confrontation is also needed to get the client to the point of self-discovery and introspection.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am naturally an empathic person, therefore currently working in the healthcare industry.

My goals for you

Goal setting must be mutually agreed upon which need to be tangible to achieve and not set up for failure but also learning from failures can be self-reflective. Prior to goal setting, I assess a clients motivation and commitment levels and if not aligned then goals are not achieved nor sustained.

My first session with you

Feel comfortable to have a free flowing conversation and getting to know a clients communication approach and learning style.
