because it was constructed on a solid foundation

About Yvonne

An expansive career as an executive leader provided opportunity to mentor young professionals, leading to a realization of my core passion for helping others gain mental health and wellbeing. After 20+ years as a corporate professional, I decided I was ready for a major change and, leaving the fast-lane behind, I reoriented my focus through tertiary education and training focusing on psychotherapy as a profession.

Yvonne-profile

I have spent multiple years working with individuals and couples and have extensive experience counselling clients who are struggling with family & relationship issues, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, mood disorders, personality disorders, self-esteem issues, childhood trauma, domestic violence and sexual assault.

A few years ago, my personal desire to broaden my support to others who are working in the helping professions led to me pursue further education and training for professional supervision. My portfolio includes providing professional supervision for psychotherapists and counsellors and individuals working in ministry and pastoral care.

My passion is enabling others and walking alongside those who are seeking guidance, whether through counselling or supervision, to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental, and restorative space to be heard and to allow for reflective learning.

Life can feel

challenging

Our journey in life is not always an easy one; at times, we must manoeuvre through deserts, storms and chaos along the way before we see the beautiful sunrise.

Seeking help during these times is the greatest love you can give yourself and your loved ones.
