Psychotherapy and Counselling

Unlocking the Potential for Personal Growth and Emotional Healing

Psychotherapy and counselling is a therapeutic process that thrives from within the therapeutic relationship of the therapist and client.  It helps the client in gaining self-awareness and a greater sense of themselves.  This enables the client to make greater informed choices, to take responsibility, to create or recreate meaning in their life, to accept their limitations of existence and to accept themselves and others without judgment, but with empathy and compassion.

This can be a difficult journey at times for oneself, since the path is not always smooth but often rocky and frustrating but nevertheless also quite rewarding: just like life.  Thus, it is a path worth taking as well as a life deeply enriching experience.
