Life ever-evolving processes face us with challenges as well as opportunities. We choose to operate on either aspect according to past experiences that are still influencing us emotionally. Self-limiting inner conflicts undermine the expression of the authentic self, our understanding of the present and sabotage our future.

The process of therapy is one of collaboration where a person may talk about whatever is troubling them. The aim is personal growth. To truly be effective, I must discover what makes a person resilient and where their strengths lie. I must also work to understand the factors that contribute to ongoing suffering as well as barriers to growth.
