Counselling may include techniques and interventions from traditional talk therapy approaches to utilising creative types of activities. For example i may utilise; symbol work, sand play therapy, emotional release processes, imagination, visualisation, body focus, relaxation, drawing, music, imagery or working with clay. I utilise approaches that encourage self awareness for meaning making, clarity and direction for your inner journey.
