About me and my therapy practice
A simple question like where are you from? Or where is home? elicits a response like “do you want the long answer or the short one?” (and sometimes flightily, “I am a child of this universe!”). My credentials are listed here much like everyone else’s, but what is not list-able, is how we will connect, co-create and find direction.
Feel like you don’t quite belong anywhere? You want to join in but somehow it isn’t clicking? “Nobody gets me or where I come from… why, even I don’t get it sometimes!” Working with identity and the issues that arise from cross-cultural differences can result in feeling anxious, fearful, isolated and even depressed… all while holding excitement and a sense of adventure. I get it. I’ve been there. Sometimes I still am there. I understand what these feelings of not belonging can evoke. I know how to meet you there, so you can feel safe, as we dig deep and make changes.
“Transference (as per Google ai) is an unconscious psychological process where a person redirects (or transfers) feelings, desires and attitudes from a past significant relationship onto a person in the present”. You will likely use some type of transference, either with my picture, my text above or a feeling you get when you close your eyes, to decide if you will give a session with me a shot.
In a day and age where there are thousands of profiles listed – be it dating or therapy. I invite you to sit with what is evoked when you read my profile (or any for that matter), if you think we can connect and do meaningful work together, do reach out.
I am a Certified Transactional Analyst (CTA) in Counselling, I offer empathic, insightful, and culturally sensitive support to individuals, couples, and organisations around the world. My approach is collaborative, grounded in respect, curiosity, and genuine care for each person’s unique story.
Practice description
I work online over zoom.
On occasion I will offer a session, usually outdoors, near where I live. This is once we have made contact though.
My first session
I offer a 15 minute contact session for free before we start work, to see if we will click and whether I am able to meet your needs. If not I can refer you to someone else in my network.
