― Carl R. Rogers
“When the other person is hurting, confused, troubled, anxious, alienated, terrified; or when he or she is doubtful of self-worth, uncertain as to identity, then understanding is called for. The gentle and sensitive companionship of an empathic stance… provides illumination and healing. In such situations deep understanding is, I believe, the most precious gift one can give to another.”
Why I Became a Counsellor/Psychotherapist & Hypnotherapist
My journey into Counselling/Psychotherapy & Hypnotherapy began with a deep curiosity about the mind and it's incredible ability to heal and transform. I have always been passionate about helping others, and through my work in counselling and psychotherapy, I witnessed first-hand how unresolved fears, stress, and negative thought patterns could hold people back from living fulfilling lives. I wanted to explore deeper, more effective ways to help individuals break free from these limitations—and that’s when I discovered the power of Psychotherapy & Hypnotherapy.
As a counsellor, my Buddhist spiritual path deeply influences my therapeutic approach, creating a space for mindfulness, compassion, and self-awareness in the healing process. Rooted in Buddhist principles, I guide clients toward greater presence, emotional balance, and inner peace, helping them navigate suffering with acceptance and wisdom. Through mindfulness practices, breathwork, and self-inquiry, I support individuals in cultivating resilience, letting go of negative patterns, and finding meaning in their experiences.
By integrating Buddhist teachings on impermanence, self-compassion, and non-attachment, I help clients move beyond limiting beliefs and embrace change with openness. This approach fosters deep healing, empowering individuals to connect with their true selves, reduce emotional distress, and cultivate a more peaceful and fulfilling life. My work as a counsellor is not about imposing spiritual beliefs but offering a holistic, grounded approach that aligns with each client’s journey, whether they seek emotional healing, greater self-awareness, or a sense of purpose.
The different modalities fascinated me because together they work with the human experience, the psychology & subconscious mind, the place where deeply rooted beliefs, emotions, and habits are stored. Unlike traditional Talk therapy alone, varying modalities allow clients to access this deeper part of themselves, making real and lasting change possible. Whether it’s overcoming anxiety, breaking habits, managing pain, or building confidence, I have seen how a combination works and can create profound shifts in ways people never thought possible.
What I love most about being a combination of modalities is witnessing transformation. Seeing clients regain control over their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours is incredibly rewarding. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where individuals can tap into their inner strengths and unlock their full potential through the process of Humanistic Counselling, Psychodynamic Approaches and Hypnotherapy and if required 'The Spiritual Path'
