The way I work
My philosophy based on buddhism is that Every person has unique strengths and qualities to uncover and use to create value in their life. The following points characterise some things you may expect from our counselling sessions:
​
-
Slowly building trust and emotional safety through gentle, honest communication using humor, curiosity and creativity
-
Exploring aspects of personal life stories and relationships, identifying unsatisfying patterns which you might want to change
-
Identifying and supporting personal strengths and healthy aspects of life that brought you to this point.
-
Using empathy and intuition to help you explore important questions you may have about your life
-
Helping you to identify and tune in to your authentic self
-
Always adhering firmly to high ethical standards
