	I am child centred and family focussed. I like to work with families holistically to develop emotional resilience, highlight existing strengths, increase connectedness and cohesion, and promote inclusion and child participation. I aim to work collaboratively with my clients, facilitating their journey towards self awareness and fulfillment. I believe a solid and positive therapeutic relationship may facilitate change.
