Summary
I am a recent counselling graduate who is eager to utilise my education and learn everything I can from a new professional environment. I have a broad understanding of common therapeutic approaches like CBT, Narrative and Motivational Interviewing, with a keen interest in Shema and Interpersonal Relationship therapy. My belief is that healing begins in deepening the relations around a person, meaning I focus on teaching them to connect and communicate effectively, resulting in a meaningful and nurturing support network. I am passionate about improve the lives and wellbeing of my clients. My goal is to help build a stronger more supportive community for everyone, and I believe that starts with looking out for those who may be the most vulnerable and isolated.
