In coaching, through our conversation, I use a "solutions-focused" approach where the focus is on identifying your priorities or goals, and then providing a supportive relationship for you to work on actions which you want to achieve. As a coach, I enable you to do your "best thinking" in a relationship free of judgment.

Often, clients like the idea of "having a coach", but are not that clear on what they want to "work on" except to grow and develop. I help you to identify areas you may like to work on.

Depending on the focus, coaching can be offered in one session but is ideally suited to between 4 to 12 sessions.   

In counselling, I use various approaches to support you, working with your strengths (and identifying what these are) to empower you in resolving your current challenge. This will involve understanding the background to the problem, followed by agreeing with you on the ideal cognitive behavioral approach, depending on the nature of the problem.

My background and professional experience enables me to identify the approach which will support your needs best. I may also refer you, depending on the circumstances, to another resource which will provide the best support possible.

Depending on the focus, counselling will usually involve several session

What approach do I use?

Counselling and Coaching can be held online or at my office, based in Durban.
