Get to know Andreas.

Through my years of counselling, I have found that the most important aspect of therapy lies within the relationship of trust and empathy between myself and my clients as only once trust and empathy have been established, can we truly understand one another and collaboratively work towards our goals.

My therapeutic approach is one of collaboration, compassion and strengths based. I do not believe in a one size fits all approach as every client has diversities that make them unique and thus should be treated as unique. Hence, I tailor my treatment modalities towards your unique needs incorporating various techniques and systems that ultimately promote the positive changes you seek towards achieving your therapeutic goals be it through utilising Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) in the reduction of one's stress, anxiety or depression all the way to utilising a values based system where we will collaboratively discover and employ techniques that allow you to live your life based on your core values.

I believe that through therapy, one can become empowered towards facilitating their own growth, healing of oneself. With this in mind, my goal is to cultivate a therapeutic relationship and environment which fosters trust, empathy and a non-judgmental space where together, we can explore any and all challenges we might be facing together whilst discovering your strengths and utilising them towards the creation of your mental and physical resilience.

My journey as a therapist has allowed me the opportunity to walk alongside clients of all ages that are presented with challenges such as depression, stress, anxiety, grief, abuse, trauma, self-esteem issues, burnout and being unable to accept themselves. It has been my privilege to journey alongside them and play witness as they discover within themselves the potential strengths they had which allowed them to conquer their presenting challenges and achieve their therapeutic/ life goals.

Apart from being a therapist, I engage in quite a few activities that bring me both joy and peace. Be it a good gym workout, an exhilarating hiking adventure with friends or simply sitting in my room listening to good music whilst I immerse myself into one of many novels. These activities bring immense happiness and peace to my life and allow me to recharge myself to be better able to face any challenges I might encounter.
