Hi, I'm Janet. I'm passionate about helping people to better understand themselves and their issues, and develop healthy coping skills and strategies, to facilitate change and growth.

My Background

To have a successful therapy, I believe it is important that you feel comfortable and have a good working relationship with your therapist. 

My training and valuable experience as counsellor, teacher, and mother of three enables me to connect and work well with students, adults and mothers looking for help in:

  • School/Work/Life Stress 

  • Confidence/Self-esteem

  • Anxiety and Depression

  • Relationship Issues

  • Life Transitions

  • Women's Issues

  • Self-development & Holistic Well-being

Integrative and
Strengths-based Approach

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Narrative Therapy

Person-centered Therapy

Positive Psychology

Solution-focused Therapy

Integrative and Strengths-based Approach

I believe it is also important to have a treatment plan that is customised to suit your needs, situation and preferences. Thus during therapy, I often seek feedback and use a variety of techniques from different types of therapy to assist you in achieving where you want to be in life.

 

Many clients appreciate that I am open and friendly to talk to, with knowledge and skills to help them understand why they think, feel or act in a certain way, and view their issues from a new perspective.

 

This helps them to uncover hidden obstacles that are holding them back and facilitates change and growth. Together, we will then plan actionable steps and develop skills to work towards achieving their goals and the life they desire.

So if you wish to talk to someone without feeling judged, gain new insights and take steps towards improving your quality of life, get in touch with me by booking a free initial consultation today! I will be happy to discuss how I can offer support in your issues. I look forward to speaking with you soon!
