How shall I support you?

By offering genuineness, empathy and acceptance I shall create a confidential, safe and supportive environment for you to freely explore and express your feelings and needs.

Among others, together we shall:

  • work on recognising your own triggers;
  • identify, understand and name your own feelings and needs;
  • finding out what inspires you and what brings you zest for life;
  • look at where you want to be and what you want to have more of in your life;
  • look for strategies that are most likely to get you there and help you create a life you have always wanted to live.

 

What is my approach? 

An integration of:

  • Humanistic Counselling (also known as Person-centered, Rogerian counselling ),which puts a client at the centre of the counselling process. According to Carl Rogers the client knows best what is right for him. Hence the client leads the process while the counsellor facilitates it by offering, acceptance, empathy and genuineness, whereby creating the safe environment for the clients to open up, to explore their issues and to draw on their own resources to solve the difficulties they are having.

  • 4-Step Model of Nonviolent Communication, which offers practical and powerful skills for compassionate giving and receiving, helping to create deep, meaningful relationships and transform (potential) conflicts into peaceful dialogues. This process of communication was developed by Marshall b. Rosengberg, Ph.D.
