About Me
Hello, and a warm welcome.
I am Tina, and I am an experienced Humanistic Integrative Counsellor/psychotherapist.
I work holistically, integrating mind–body-spirit intelligence within and focusing on you as a whole person. I have a deep belief that we all have divine wisdom within us, and when we tap into it, it can guide us towards healing, self-love, empowerment, peace, and more fulfilling life.
I have always enjoyed getting to know people, their stories, and views, but more importantly, my passion as a therapist is to help facilitate your own healing process, and to provide you with tools you can use in daily life to continue that journey. My endeavour is to foster your emotional health, promote self-awareness, enhance your confidence and invite into your life more harmony and balance.
I warmly welcome a wide range of clients. As each person is different, with a unique perspective on life, my practice is constantly evolving, working collaboratively, in co-creative therapeutic relationship, with a strong focus on trust, respect and compassion.
I know that life can be tough with many challenges. As a part of my training, I had to go through my own healing journey, facing my wounded childhood, family struggles, ancestors’ patterns to find my sovereignty, confidence, and authenticity. In the process, I learnt how important it is to be self-aware and to maintain positive attitude with compassion and kindness.
As life is ever changing, the journey of self-discovery never truly ends. However, with the right support and guidance we can navigate our life more gracefully.
Qualification, Experience & Background
Qualifications: FdSc in Person-Centred Counselling, BSc (Hons) in Integrative Counselling , Certified in MBSR - Mindfulenss Based Stress Reduction, MBACP (member of BACP)
Since 2011, I have been supporting many adults and teenagers with variety of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, family issues, relationship issues, separation, coping with life changes, attachment issues, childhood trauma, abuse, dissociation, and helping them to identify their needs, apply healthy boundaries, self-care, emotional regulation, and positive self-regard.
I create a nonjudgmental safe space where you can bring any distress, challenges, dilemmas, fears, limited patterns/beliefs that no longer serve you and hold you back in life. In your own pace, we can explore their origin, and consider new ways of thinking, feeling, and relating with these obstacles you are facing.
‘Know-thyself’, is a pivotal foundation for our personal growth and empowerment. I am particularly passionate about inner child work, healing and integrating those wounded parts of self that have been shut down at some point in life and finding your authentic self.
Sometimes to access our hidden feelings, we need to go beyond words into our subconscious experiencing. I may offer mindfulness-based techniques where appropriate, using intuition, immediacy (power of now), imagery, bringing attention to your body sensations, to support all aspects of the therapeutic process.
I offer support for adults and young people with variety of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, family issues, relationship issues, separation, coping with life changes, attachment issues, childhood trauma, abuse, dissociation, and helping them to identify their needs/boundaries, apply self-care, and emotional regulation.
