Hi, I am Rosemary
I am here to listen and help!
I love and have done dancing most of my life, teaching it and running a dancing school. I love the outdoors and enjoy being in nature, run to keep fit, have worked for many years in a diversity of business fields including working with young people in a business education program. I have been retrenched 4 times in my career, been married, divorced and recently had cancer. All this has taught me that life is not a breeze and often a gentle helping hand or a non-judgemental ear to listen, is all we need to carry us through hard times and get life back on track.
I completed my Internship at Hope House of Counselling, working with a diverse group of people ranging from children to senior citizens who were dealing with a broad spectrum of diverse mental health issues.
My counselling style is an integrated approach focusing on positive psychology, highlighting the core principles of Person-Centred counselling, drawing from a range of therapies such as CBT (Cognitive behavioural Therapy) and DBT ( Dialectical behaviour Therapy) amongst others. I look at your individual strengths and deal with each client holistically. I have completed my BA (Hons): Counselling Psychology, as well as my BCom: Bus Eco & Industrial Psychology.
