I was born in Port Elizabeth but now live in the bustling city of Johannesburg, South Africa. I am married. I have two dogs! My counselling approach is guided by the presenting problem. Overall I have found Emotional Freedom Techniques to be the most effective, and least time consuming for relief, specifically from phobias, but they can be applied to everything. I also like to use Roger’s positive acceptance, cognitive behavioural techniques, and many others. I also use intuition and the promptings of the spirit to guide me along the right path. |
