My approach to counselling and mediation is solution focused, short term, customized, directive and empowering!

At some point in our lives we all face crossroads that require us to change or adapt. The crossroads differ… a career choice, deciding to forgive someone, battling with negative feelings, longing to improve yourself, struggling to communicate or helping your child in the right direction… What all these situations have in common, however, is the difficult process of change and adaptation they require. Using professional guidance is a responsible and sensible way to take control at your crossroads – opting for effective change and adaptation rather than unnecessary trial and error.

After all – when you need financial advice you make an appointment with an accountant, when you have the flu you see a medical doctor, when you need legal help you contact a law firm. I pride myself in being able to professionally assist clients with navigating change and decision-making! In the simplest terms, it is my job to help you, to make yourself happy!

Albert Einstein defined insanity as “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” From time to time we all become stuck in old, unhelpful ways. At these moments we can either keep banging our heads against the same old walls, or we can choose to incorporate new knowledge, skills and techniques to make a difference and improve our lives.

I believe that success is not measured by the number of times we trip or fall, but by the courage we show when we choose to rise again and learn from our experiences. For me the greatest role models are not these without flaws or difficult circumstances, but the ordinary people who were brave enough to learn and grow – despite their challenges.
