Masters of Counselling

In the world of counselling and psychological theory, I've acquired a deep understanding of human behaviour, emotions, and mental well-being. This journey has equipped me with the skills to aid individuals across various life stages, from children to adults and families. I've delved into core psychological theories such as cognitive, behavioural, psychodynamic, and humanistic approaches. Moreover, I've learned to apply these theories through tailored counselling interventions, addressing specific challenges like anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. My repertoire includes diverse psychological therapies catering to different age groups, like CBT, play therapy, and family systems theory. Ethical considerations have been ingrained into my practice, ensuring professionalism, confidentiality, and client well-being. Armed with this knowledge, I'm well-prepared to make a positive impact, guiding individuals and families towards growth, healing, and healthier dynamics.
