Adendorff

I'm primarily focused on wellness, which pivots away from the medical model and towards a holistic approach where the interplay between mind, body and spirit is acknowledged and becomes the framework for understanding ourselves better.

I'm unwavering in my dedication to provide a safe and secure space that may facilitate an authentic connection with our emotions to gain clarity. I follow Carl Rogers' person-centered therapy where an empathy, unconditional positive regard and congruence all play vital roles in the therapeutic relationship and process of accessing one's own inner potential.

Each session is client centered and client led. This humanistic approach to counselling allows clients to be present with their emotions, and to gently and mindfully move through them.

My scope of practice includes working with life challenges, building resilience and general wellness. Some of my interests include grief and loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, improving interpersonal relationships, life transitions and stress management.

Some modalities I use include Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Compassionate Inquiry and Solution Focused Therapy, but the underpinning principle is always a Person Centered approach to counselling.
