Goal/beliefs & value
Every person is capable of growth and change. It is important for me to be warm, genuine and understanding with my clients. I believe that therapy provides individuals with a space to acknowledge their difficult experiences and emotions and allows clients to think about life in new ways and eventually warming up to different levels of experience. In therapy, it is important for all clients to know that counselling is a process of identifying, exploring, learning abilities from mistakes, trust in themselves, and creating positive relationships in order to create well lived experiences.“The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.”

Goals & belief/ values
Everyone has their best version of themselves. It is important to explore and discover what you want to become with your own unique life story. There is a Chinese proverb says, “If you want one year of prosperity, grow grain. If you want ten years of prosperity, grow trees. If you want a hundred years of prosperity, grow people.” Growing up as an individual, there are many important junctures and decisions we have to make in order to find meanings and purposes of who we are and what we want to do with our lives, especially in times of uncertainty. Along with understanding individuality, in lifelong learning we need find a channel and source of help to overcome our momentarily hiccups in life and to orient ourselves in those important moments. My calm and welcoming approach aims to put clients at ease, whilst offering a confidential and non-judgmental space for them to explore what prompted them to seek therapy. I am passionate about walking alongside you on a path of healing, restoration, and finding meaning and purpose in life to achieve the best and most unique version of yourself.

Goals & belief/ values
I have always had a curiosity for humans and the issues we experience. I learn a lot from other people’s experience, and I read a lot regarding the experiences people have faced in their lives. I have a personal interest in exploring themes that relate to the human condition; sadness, loneliness, boredom, companionship, relationship issues, and communication issues among many others. I also cherish my own experiences and how they have been genuinely listened to by others which made me feel better about myself. I decided to be a counselor as a desire to be part of the process with individuals going through whatever they are experiencing and to make them better versions of themselves along the way.
I truly believe that there is nothing compared to the human touch and feel, meaning, nothing like a face-to-face conversation, which is totally different from what we experience from social media these days. Either way, I believe that the human species is capable of steering their life and choices, but it does not have to be done alone. The first step is awareness and being honest as vulnerability is something that we all fear. If that is unlocked, we have so many possibilities to work on as counselling is a safe environment to start at!
