While I was studying Psychology and Counselling at university, I felt that traditional counselling could take a long time and for some clients, it can be hard to talk about the painful past. I wanted to find easier and stress-free ways, so I learned Holistic therapies. After I had done over 120 case studies, I got very interested in mind and body connections, so I learned Hypnotherapy and NLP.
I noticed that often, problems (that we see and think) come from the subconscious mind, and in many cases, the person is unaware of the real cause. People focus only on the symptoms, but the real cause lies underneath and you need to work on the fundamental issues to make the change.
I experienced difficult times with family issues and had symptoms of depression, anxiety and PTSD. As I tried to find ways to get better, I learned that there are many people like me. Through my own experiences and working with many people as a therapist, I am passionate about assisting people’s well-being.
