Hello and welcome! I’m Gené, a registered Specialist Wellness Counsellor dedicated to guiding individuals through their journey towards holistic well-being. With a passion for helping others and a wealth of experience in the field, I’ve made it my mission to create a nurturing space where clients can explore their innermost thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment.
My Journey to Wellness Counselling
From a young age, I’ve been someone people naturally turn to when they need a listening ear or a shoulder to lean on. This innate ability to connect deeply with others inspired me to pursue a career in counseling psychology. I hold a BA Honours in Counselling Psychology and am a registered Specialist Wellness Counsellor with over five years of experience in private practice. Additionally, I’ve had the privilege of serving as a trauma counsellor, where I honed my skills in supporting individuals through some of life’s most challenging experiences.
Guiding Principles
At the core of my practice are values of empathy, compassion, and trust. I believe in creating a safe and non-discriminatory environment where clients feel empowered to explore their emotions and vulnerabilities freely. My counselling approach is person-centred and holistic, meaning I tailor each session to meet the unique needs and experiences of my clients.
Specializations
My areas of expertise include grief counselling, couples counselling, wellness counselling, and trauma counselling. Drawing from my personal experience with grief and trauma, I bring a deep understanding and empathy to my work, helping clients navigate through their pain and find healing and resilience.
Envisioning Wellness
I envision wellness as a journey of self-discovery and growth, where individuals cultivate self-awareness, resilience, and self-compassion. Through evidence-based techniques and a holistic perspective, I strive to empower my clients to overcome obstacles, strengthen their relationships, and embrace life with renewed vitality.
Your Journey Starts Here
If you’re ready to embark on a journey towards greater well-being, I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way. Together, we’ll explore your inner landscape, uncovering the strength and wisdom within you to create positive change in your life.
