We all have our own roads to travel
and your path has just crossed mine. In the past, we may have
met on the village square ........ beside the well ........ or under
the ancient oak tree. Today we meet on the world wide
web.
Are
they really different ways of meeting? Perhaps............
Perhaps not.
"Le
plus c'est change, le plus c'est la meme chose". The
more things change, the more they stay the same.
I
am a qualified Clinical Psychologist in private practice in Cape
Town, South Africa - one of the most beautiful places on the earth!
My country has taught me that, even in the darkest hour, transformation
is possible!
I
have been in private practice for the past seven years and see clients
of all ages and from most walks of life. I offer individual,
marital and family therapy and also assess and treat children and
counsel parents. Where it is necessary, I support the healing properties
of herbal and homeopathic medicines and have developed my own line
of products together with a manufacturing pharmacist.
Before
starting private practice, I spent many years working in schools, hospitals,
reform schools, industry and other organisations. All in all,
I have over 12 years working experience in my field.
My
clients teach me many things. The most important truth I have learned
in my work is that, if you are given a safe space to learn
to believe in yourself, you WILL be able to reach deep down
inside to find the wholeness that has always been there.
Life
presents us with many lessons. Out of all life experience comes
growth. It does not always feel like it at the time, but I believe
that there is no such thing as a bad life experience. Some experiences
teach us how to love and understand ourselves more. Some may teach
us the truth we feel by experiencing anger, pain, loss or sorrow.
And if we allow ourselves to be conscious, we will always reach
a point (sometimes sooner, sometimes much later), when
we can say ...... "So THAT'S why I experienced that!"
Because
I know that the truth is inside YOU, I will not obscure that
with too many details about myself. It is important that you
should always look after yourself and make sure that you are safe.
That is why I will list my qualifications! But
beyond that, you can imagine me in any way that helps you and gives
you strength. It is a way to learn to find the strength inside yourself.
So ...............
sit quietly in a safe spot. Maybe leaning against the strong trunk
of a tree...... near water, like a river, lake or the sea .......
or under the stars........ or even in your room. Wherever you
feel safe and relaxed........ You can even imagine a safe place
if it is not possible to go there physically. It could be a place
in your imagination, a place in your childhood or a place you love. Close
your eyes and meet me there ............. and I will surely help
you!
You
are only as strong as you think you are!
