Welcome to
Cognisance Counselling
If you're here, you've already taken a brave step. I understand that looking for counselling can feel daunting, especially when you're struggling with anxiety, relationships, or feeling unsettled in your life. I create a safe, welcoming space where we can explore what's important to you and help you reconnect with your authentic self.
My Approach
I use a client-centred approach. Which means that I do not lead the sessions, my clients explore what holds the most importance to them for that session. As our work unfolds, we begin to understand the threads that connect the various issues clients bring to counselling.
Generally, my focus tends to be on how our past has informed our present behaviours and thought patterns. In my experience, when working through this lens, clients tend to gain more awareness of themselves.
Gaining awareness gives you choice—the freedom to shift current behaviours and thought patterns in ways that feel right for you. Thus, allowing you to live a fuller, deeper, and more meaningful life.
I have trained in the field of Psychosynthesis which is a transpersonal way of working with clients. In simpler terms, I believe that clients are more than the issues they bring to sessions. I view clients as beings looking to reconnect with themselves, and the issues they bring have messages that are yearning to be heard.
Our journey together will be about hearing those messages in a gentle, holding manner. As you begin to understand, and connect with those messages, my hope is that you can develop a better understanding of yourself and begin to live a more wholesome life.
I may use different ways to help you connect with yourself such as meditation, visualisations, drawing, writing, amongst others. These are used subjectively and mindfully, and always with the clients' consent.
My Services
I work with adults facing a wide range of life challenges, including anxiety, stress, relationship issues, low self-esteem, and depression. Whatever has brought you to consider counselling, I welcome the opportunity to discuss how I might support you.

How do I help?
My approach is collaborative and gentle. I believe you have the answers within you, and my role is to create a safe space where you can access your inner wisdom. I work at your pace because you know your truth better than anyone else.
My role is to walk alongside you as you explore what feels important, offering gentle guidance and psychosynthesis tools when they feel helpful. We'll work primarily through conversation, though I may suggest techniques like guided imagery, mindfulness exercises, or gentle breath work if they suit your process.
Everything we do together is based on what feels right for you - I never impose an agenda, but rather follow your lead. What matters most is that you feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore your experiences at your own pace.
