Description
Starting with a new therapist, whether you’re new to counselling or a more experienced client, takes a lot of courage. With that courage also comes the discomfort of exploring some of the impactful and painful memories of the past, as well as the current experiences of the present. For this to be possible we have to create a space where safety, trust and collaboration are at the forefront. In my work, I want to engage with folks in a transparent relationship where they can give themselves the opportunity to relax and let go of the expectations they hold themselves to.
